Who is the painter?

The book catalogue gives the game away. It's a detail of a watercolour drawing by Oscar Epfs, a pseudonym of Lawrence Durrell. Other works by this artist are reproduced in "Lawrence Durrell, The Big Supposer, A Dialogue with Marc Alyn" (1973). Durrell told Alyn (p. 101) "I've always done water-colours. When I was about twenty I lived on a Greek island with a young painter. It was then that I started to look at things through watercolours. When I went to Paris, Miller encouraged me...Miller taught me how to paint masterpieces."

Epfs/Durrell may not be a painter of masterpieces, but it is high time that Corfu hosted an exhibition of his paintings, perhaps alongside those of Henry Miller.
