Hugh Stollmeyer was the leading visual artist of his generation in Trinidad. As a member of the Trinidad Independents, he was part of the first generation of Trinidad artists to think of their homeland as independent of its colonial past.

The book is illustrated with 142 of Stollmeyer’s paintings and provides the first comprehensive look at his work in all its splendour and variety. Hugh’s letters take us into the world of this complex and unusual man, exploring his thoughts on art and life, his personal relationships, and his ambiguous feelings of pride and discomfort with his native Trinidad.
