Don Binney: Nga Manu/Nga Motu-Birds/Islands Overview
This presentation of the works of the painter Don Binney covers the artist's three major career stages, including his initial success and praise as a young star in the art firmament; the maturation of his work and his subsequent dismissal by the art world; and a final return to form in the last few years. Also illuminated is the development of the practice and theory of art in a corner of the Pacific, from the 1950s through the liberating 1960s and 1970s to the more corporate or theory driven approaches of the 1980s and beyond. This extensive sampling of Binney's work over 40 years, along with some sympathetic commentary and other illuminating text, encourages a fresh look at his achievement.
Don Binney: Nga Manu/Nga Motu-Birds/Islands Specifications
This slender, elegant volume presents a series of brief natural history essays by French entomologist Jean Henri Fabre (1823-1915), who delighted in observing such things as the mating behavior of scorpions and the hunting techniques of grasshoppers. Linda Davis, who edited The Passionate Observer, selected passages that reflect Fabre's careful, painstaking study of the natural world, which he undertook "to increase by one atom the general mass of knowledge, the incomparable treasure of mankind." (And so he did, for which we must all be thankful.) Bright, warm watercolors by Marlene McLoughlin complement Fabre's work and impart the feel of his native Provence.
