Throughout his long career, New Zealand painter Dick Frizzell has often gone
way out on a limb to see where it would take him. From his early Pop art influenced
approach to his experiments with landscape and the contested area of
appropriation, he’s always been brave. Now, he takes on the history of art, starting
right back at cave art to discover the key threads of Western art that sit in his DNA
as a painter in the 21st century. The approach is essential Frizzell: bring everyone
along for the ride.
It’s a fun romp, but despite the humour, it sits on a bedrock of serious scholarship
and reverence for the painters of the past. And there’s one thing that makes
this book different from any other: all the reproductions of significant paintings,
from Rubens and Tintoretto to Cezanne and Lichtenstein, are by Frizzell himself,
heroically painted over a twelve-month period.
Me, According to the History of Art is the art history education you’ve been
missing. Painting tips included.
