I love the touch of nostalgia in his paintings. I mean, in the sense that what he depicted now has the flavour of an era that is fading away...

That's for sure - there's an interesting part of the commentary in the book that says when he came back as an older man, there were already so many changes (e.g. motorised boats, the locals wearing boardshorts etc). It would have been fascinating to travel alongside him in the early days!
