This is the first most comprehensive study on one of Malta’s important pioneers of modernism: Carmelo Mangion (1905-1997), who lived and worked out of the spotlight of success and recognition.
This study reveals the man and the artist as an etcher and teacher at the Malta Government School of Art, as a painter of landscapes, townscapes and seascapes, as an artist who documented the industrial and technological development in Malta, as well as an artist of portraits, still-lifes, compositions with figures, cathedrals and Maltese historical narratives coming up to metaphysical, religious and abstract works.
This book won First Prize for Research in 2008.
