On The Illustrated Winespeak's first publication inthis hilarious send-up of winetaster's jargon was hailed by 'The Financial Times' as "one of this year's bubbling successes". It has since been constantly reprinted to meet demand and has become a classic of The Illustrated Winespeak kind. For all those mystified by the strange pontifications of wine-buffs, Ronald Searle's The Illustrated Winespeak is the perfect guide to the meaning behind "distinctive nose", "full bodied" and "elegant but lacks backbone". The book is an onslaught on the pretentious nonsense written and spoken about wine. His interpretations of such apparently innocent phrases as 'full bodied' and 'distinctive nose' The Illustrated Winespeak certainly make you laugh aloud, and in all probability splutter in your wine glass. These illustrations are definitely worth pondering over with a large glass of pinot noir! Added to basket. Talia Baiocchi. An Omelette And a Glass of Wine. Elizabeth David. Is this Bottle Corked?

Ronald Searle was masterful at composing drawings that were The Illustrated Winespeak accidental, palimpsest of scratches, blots and lines, grotesquely graceful in celebrating ugliness in all its beauty. His The Illustrated Winespeak resonates The Illustrated Winespeak with the linguistic accidents of "winespeak", that semantic monster created to express what words cannot describe, in attempts by people whose inability for clarity of expression may well hide an ineptness at perceiving the nuance they try to fathom. In the meantime, it's them who Ronald The Illustrated Winespeak was masterful at composing drawings that were artfully accidental, palimpsest of scratches, blots and lines, grotesquely graceful in celebrating ugliness in all its beauty. In the meantime, it's them who have had the wine, and us who are left to find comfort in the ruthless way with which Searle destroys their phrases by taking them literally. Dec 25, Kbg rated it it was amazing. Is this book still Out-of-Print? If I take this out to a tasting, I won't let it out of my sight! I don't take myself too seriously when it comes to wine and it showsand this reminds me to get fired up and listen to the Guns-N-Roses song "Get in the Ring". Jan 18, Megankellie rated it liked it Shelves: artgraphic-novelcandy. You can read this in 20 minutes, going slowly. Fun, absurd drawings of people, as always. I think it's a reprint, so it The Illustrated Winespeak vaguely fuzzy or something, but that is my deep Ronald Searle nerd speaking.

The Illustrated Winespeak is also the co-author with Geoffrey Willans of the Molesworth series. He started The Illustrated Winespeak at the age of five and left school at the age of In Aprilrealizing that war was inevitable, he abandoned his art studies to enlist in the Royal Engineers. He trained at Cambridge College of Arts and Technology, currently Anglia Ruskin University, for two years, and inpublished the first St Trinian's cartoon in the magazine Lilliput. In JanuaryThe Illustrated Winespeak was stationed in Singapore. After a month of fighting in Malaya, Singapore fell to the Japanese, and he was taken prisoner along with his cousin Tom Fordham Searle. The brutal camp conditions were documented by Searle in a series of drawings that he hid under the mattresses of prisoners dying of cholera. Liberated late inSearle returned to England where he published several of the surviving drawings in fellow prisoner Russell Braddon's The Naked Island. At least one of the drawings is on display at the Changi Museum and Chapel, Singapore, but the majority of these original drawings, approximatelyare in the permanent collection of the , London, along with the works of other POW artists. Searle produced an extraordinary volume of work during the s, including drawings for Life, Holiday and Punch. He compiled more St Trinian's books, which were based on his sister's school and other girls' schools in Cambridge. Inhe moved to Paris, leaving his family and later marrying Monica Koenig, theater designer and creator of necklaces. In France he worked more on reportage for Life and Holiday and less on cartoons. He also continued to work in a broad range of media and created books including his well-known cat booksanimated films and sculpture for commemorative medals, both for the French Mint and the British Art Medal Society. Inthe full-length cartoon Dick Deadeye was released. Animated by a number of artists both British and French, it is considered by some to be his greatest achievement, although Searle himself detested the result. Searle received much recognition for his work, especially in America, including the National Cartoonists Society's Advertising and Illustration Award in andthe Reuben Award intheir Illustration Award in and their Advertising Award in and His work has had a great deal of influence, particularly on American cartoonists, including , , Hilary Knight and the animators of Disney's Dalmatians.
