| Introduction | I review art gallery and museum shows for a variety of organisations like the Tate Modern, Tate Britain, British Museum and hte Royal Academy. I am funded by the Arts Council to complete this site and supply further reviews of cultural happenings. I also review books and films. clitophon@yahoo.com |
| Interests | I write poetry and also do art. I've had modest success in both disciplines, publishing books and pamphlets of poetry and having my art displayed in small galleries, cafes and auction houses. |
| Favorite movies | My favourite all time film is 'Beat the Devil' by John Huston. I also admire the work of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock. I'm presently staying in Leytonstone, Hitchcock's birthplace. |
| Favorite music | I listen to a lot of Gustav Mahler and became absorbed in the locations of the his music when I visited Kaernten. The visual symmetry of Kaernten is spectacular, its easy to see how those symphonies grew out of the locale. |
| Favorite books | My favourite write is Feodor Dostoevsky. I was impressed by Shakespeare but then I read Dostoevsky and found someone close to my heart. I also admire James Joyce and Franz Kafka. |
