A book about the Life and Works of Lewis Wirth & Helen Cavarra

THE LIFE AND WORK OF LEWIS WIRTH (1923-2010) AND HELEN CAVARRA (1926-1978)

by Joseph Paul Cassar

This book is about the creative partnership between husband and wife: Lewis Wirth (1923-2010) and Helen née Cavarra (1926-1978). The study is a major contribution in completing a better understanding of art in Malta between the years 1945 and 1970. There is a special focus on Lewis’s art while he lived and worked in Libya, and a special section on Helen’s botanical flower studies indigenous of the Mediterranean Island of Malta. The book provides an insight into the wonderful creativity and incredible output of this husband and wife duo.
