Summary: "This is the A to Z of Dick's philosophy dissembled through 100 or so images that have influenced his point of view. A highly personal selection of key works, many of which miss muster in the usual round-ups, it's an eclectic bunch of paintings that begins with images he was drawn to back before he was told what he'd be better off looking at. From the early influences of Peter McIntyre, discovering modernism at art school, his first sighting of a McCahon, teaching talented students at Elam through to discovering the brightest of bright young things today. Written in Dick's self-proclaimed folksy style, this is a fascinating discussion of New Zealand art history through the eyes of our most mainstream populist artist."--Back cover.
