Book Descriptions:
Este libro recoge cuatro de los 28 capítulos de la biografía del pintor canadiense York Wilson (1907-1984), York Wilson: His life and work 1907-1984, escrita por su esposa Lela. Los Wilson visitaron Canarias en tres ocasiones: la primera el 6 de marzo de 1952, regresarían por segunda vez a Tenerife a mediados de julio de 1957 y el último viaje en vida de York Wilson a las Canarias tuvo lugar en 1982, pues, tras su muerte, parte de sus cenizas fueron esparcidas en el jardín del Dr. Carlos Pinto Grote, en Tenerife. La «proverbial hospitalidad» canaria facilitó que los Wilson entraran en contacto con la inteligencia local. La relación personal que York Wilson estableció con Carlos Pinto Grote y Eduardo Westerdahl lo puso en contacto con los pintores y la intelectualidad tinerfeña de principios de los cincuenta.
La información sobre Canarias que la viuda del pintor ofrece en su biografía resulta particularmente interesante por varias razones: por ser un testimonio de nuestro presente, pues los hechos relatados van de 1952 a 1982; porque los datos aportados configuran el estado de la cultura en Canarias y sus agentes, especial-mente el de la pintura en el periodo consignado; y, por último, el documento refleja la percepción del paisaje y el paisanaje canario con una sensibilidad que atiende a la luz, a lo agreste y atormentado del paisaje volcánico y al vértigo de los acantilados con la óptica pictórica propia de un artista plástico. Se trata, pues, de un recuento que difiere de aquellos realizados por meros viajeros o científicos que nos visitaron y centraron básicamente su interés en ciertos aspectos etnográficos, pintorescos o científicos.
