The artist's family shall be present to share their memories of Cremona as the event shall seek to pre- sent a different and more human facet of the artist, his public and private life. Cremona was a remarkable artist who left a significant mark on the story of art in Malta. He is regarded as one of the best local artists of the 20th century. He is also known for designing most Maltese stamps from 1957 to the 1970s, including the stamp issue commemorating Malta's independ- ence from Great Britain in 1964. He also designed the Medal of Merit handed out in the years 1968–1971. This medal was eventually replaced by the Ġieħ ir-Repubblika. His works are found in several churches in Malta and Gozo, includ- ing Ta' Pinu Sanctuary. The World Health Organisation headquarters in Geneva and the UN headquarters in New York also house paintings by Cremona. The lecture starts at 6.30pm and ad- mission is free of charge.
