| Summary |
"Rick Amor - painter, printmaker and sculptor - is one of Australia's most distinguished contemporary artists. Now in his fifties, he has a very significant body of work behind him, having explored a range of styles and exhibited regularly over the past thirty years. In 2000 he went to East Timor as an official war artist appointed by the Australian War Memorial." "The Solitary Watcher is the first full-length work on Rick Amor. Gary Catalano writes of the landscapes of Amor's childhood that haunt his later paintings, of Amor's close friendship with Joan and Daryl Lindsay, his long relationship with the labour movement, and his professional attachment to older artists such as Clifton Pugh and Ian Armstrong." "The book's main focus is on Amor's paintings, drawings and prints. The Solitary Watcher offers a detailed and coherent examination of the development of Amor's art, from his earliest years as an artist to the present."--BOOK JACKET |
