(Pip) Comport was born in London in 1922 but was soon moved to Kent. He studied for a degree in mechanical engineering which was interrupted by war service in R.E.M.E, which took him to the Far East, including time spent camped outside Madras - the setting for this little book. Back in England, he studied at nights for four years, married an Australian girl that he had first met in Singapore, who produced a daughter. The family emigrated to South Australia in 1957. Work took them to Tasmania for two years. Returning to Adelaide, he was asked to set up an office for the London-based Chartered Surveyors Jones Lang Wootton, where he worked until retirement, at the age of 58. A holiday house was soon built on the Queensland coast and he was able to indulge his lifelong interest in art. For almost 40 years, he was able to paint and make prints. He held his last solo exhibition at the age of 93 in Adelaide.weniger sehen
