Description
Dean Buchanan is one of New Zealand's best-known artists. From an early age, he showed immense talent, painting large oils that demonstrated both technical brilliance and a close affinity with the natural world. During the past thirty years, he has become probably New Zealand's most prolific (and also most affordable) painter, as well as one of the most instantly recognisable.
His paintings are found in homes throughout New Zealand and in public buildings and galleries both here and overseas. He has also exhibited in Australia, Japan, Chile, Switzerland, and the USA. Coupled with his creative talent is an ability to live life to the full. No shrinking violet, Wild Beast Buchanan has always expressed himself forthrightly, especially in defence of preserving New Zealand's natural environment.
He has also become a mountaineer of some note, and in January 2007 succeeded in climbing Mt Cook. Bob Harvey interviewed Dean Buchanan extensively for this book, and describes every facet of his life. The book also includes 60 superb reproductions of some of his greatest paintings.
