Fine Art

Thisa is a New Zealand art book with a difference, providing as it does a visual introduction to, and brief biogrophical notes about, sixty of the many artists who are working throughout New Zealand, some of whom do not even exhibit their work outside their own region. It is a 'first', a reference to those artists who exhibit primarily within New Zealand, and whose work depicts not only this country, it's landscapes, seascapes and inhabitants, but also mines the depths of their own imaginations. Packed with stunning artworks, the book has been produced for those who appreciate a beautiful image; for those who are interested in looking at, or buying, art but don't really know where to begin or indeed which gallery to visit; for those who live too far away from galleries to view art regularly and to see what is being offered; and for school students who need to see examples of home grown art images as well as those of European Masters, to inspire their own creations
