Richard Larter

Recognises and celebrates the work of one of Australia's most significant and engaging artists and is the first major book of his work. Born in England in 1929, Larter moved to Australia in 1962. His work, which dates from the late 1950's through to the present, is at times audacious and political, at others abstract and lyrical. The book, which includes some one hundred works as well evocative photographs, confirms the artist's place as a remarkable hscolourist, a technical innovator and a painter of radiant luminosity.
