Savannah, GA, March 01, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Patricia Carson is a composer, scriptwriter, and educator. She earned a Master of Music degree from the University of Oregon and worked in the U.S., Europe, as well in the Middle East. Her new book, “Meeting Valentino Molina: Lifting the Veil on the Incredible Life of a Savannah Artist” is a poignant biography that explores a side of the famed Valentino Molina many have never known about, and explains how the author was first introduced to his work through a connection with her husband’s family.

“Valentino Molina was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1879. He was a talented and insecure young man whose life took a positive turn when his nude painting Cleopatra caught the attention of two elegant ladies who became his mentors. It then became a colorful roller coaster of events during the volatile late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,” writes Carson.

Valentino became successful as a portraitist and lived in Canada, Spain, aristocratic London, Gay Paris, and southern France. He was affiliated with royalty, John Singer Sargent, Rudolph Valentino, and other rich and famous notables of the era. His paintings can be found in galleries in Canada, Spain, England, and in private collections here and abroad, as well as at the Telfair Museum in Savannah.

“This is also the story of Molina’s art, music, sexuality, the mystery of the naked Cleopatras, and a home renovation that led to the discovery of his past as well as his surprising affiliation with the Gignilliat family of Savannah.”
