Essays by Janet McKenzie filter throughout the pages of this richly illustrated publication as documentation of Melbourne-based artist, Godwin Bradbeer’s career and the development of his practice from the 1970s until now. The book displays a magnificent screening of Bradbeer’s extraordinary figurative works and includes two informative interviews between artist and author regarding his inspirations, observations and methods, and the importance of teaching within his field. McKenzie informs a deeper understanding of the context of Bradbeer’s unique drawing concepts, whereby he produces large-scale representations of the human form created with a predominant use of the mediums; Chinagraph pencil, pastel and silver oxide.
