Autorenporträt
The late Bernard Kayman believed, looking back, that being British, Jewish and being a boy scout during WWII all affected his life. His hero was Winston Churchill, whose face and words inspired him to be courageous, honourable and to never give in to injustice. His goal was not only to rebuild London, but to celebrate all that the great city had to offer. What had been important to Bernard is to be a winner and to do well financially. In America he enjoyed family, plus outstanding opportunities to be multi-dimensional as an artist and designer. Travelling extensively in USA and Europe both broadened his life and defined him.
