All the colour in the world / CS Richardson. by Richardson, C. S. Knopf Canada, 2023. Call #: FICTION RIC Subjects Artists -- 20th century -- Fiction.   Toronto (Ont.) -- 20th century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781039003514 (hc) Alternate title:  All the color in the world Description:  208 p. Summary:  "The story of the restorative power of art in one man's life, set against the sweep of the twentieth century -- from Toronto in the '20s and '30s, through the killing fields of World War II, to 1960s Sicily. Henry, born 1916, thin-as-sticks, nearsighted, is an obsessive doodler -- copying illustrations from his Boy's Own magazines. Left in the care of a nurturing, Shakespeare-quoting grandmother, eight-year-old Henry receives as a gift his first set of colouring pencils (and a pocket knife for the sharpening). As he commits these colours to memory -- cadmium yellow; burnt ochre; deep scarlet red -- a passion for art, colour, and the stories of the great artists takes hold, and becomes Henry's unique way of seeing the world. It is a passion that will both haunt and sustain him on his journey through the century: from boyhood dreams on a summer beach to the hothouse of art academia and a love cut short by tragedy; from the psychological wounds of war to the redemption of unexpected love. Projected against a backdrop of iconic masterpieces --f rom the rich hues of the European masters to the technicolour magic of Hollywood--All the Colour in the World is Henry's story: part miscellany, part memory palace, exquisitely precise with the emotional sweep of a great modern romance."--Publisher.
