N2  - "Mrkusich: The Art of Transformation is the first substantial survey of the work of New Zealand's leading abstract painter, Milan Mrkusich. At the beginning of his career in the 1940s, Mrkusich faced widespread antagonism towards abstraction and relied on his work for the innovative design firm Brenner Associates in order to make a living. But by the early 1970s, he had established himself at the forefront of modernist developments in New Zealand art, held in high esteem by critics and artists for his resonant, mesmerising fields of colour. This sumptuously produced book traces Mrkusich's career over 60 years, from the early gouaches on paper, through the acclaimed Emblems and Corner series, to recent work where he approaches colour as an open field of discovery."--Publisher's website
