Luke Han reviewing Back & Beyond, New Zealand painting for the Young and Curious by Gregory O'Brien.
This book illustrates and explains some wellknown New Zealand Art, depicting futuristic, cultural, historical and present day art.
This book is worth looking at because there are humourous, instructional and thought provoking.I have learnt that art is shown in different ways and medias.
The paintings that stood out to me are P82 Flight by Rita Angus, because when I look at it I fell it is unique.
P34 Manukau Heads by Elizabeth Thompson because she has changes the photograph to be unrealistic and far more interesting.
P22 The Magical Wooden Head by E. Mervyn Taylor because he has only used black and white, and he has based his wood engraving on a legend.
It is a very well presented book, and able to be enjoyed even though you may not be able to read all of it.
Recommended for senior readers who enjoy art and mathematics.
