SCARCE First Edition in slipcase. Schoolgirls, Alice in Wonderland, Girls & Flowers, Faces of Love, Children Playing, Gardens, The Sea, Nudes, Nightmares, Identities, plus opus index. From inner front flap of dustjacket (in part): This is a monumental book about a monumental Australian painter. It is not just a book of unsurpassable colour reproduction, however. It presents a close inspection of a major talent’s whole life’s oeuvre, with a text that is as equally biographical as it is aesthetically descriptive. The author and the artist worked in close collaboration so that the written material could be a personal statement worthy of the broader-than-usual aims of the book and of the warmth of the Blackman art”. 144p. : col.ill. ; 42cm. #1120 ISBN 10: 0589502395 ISBN 13: 9780589502393 (If ordered through Abebooks
