The Weight Of The Captain's Wrist: Peter Ireland History Paintings by Gerald Barnett and Peter Ireland and Jane Stafford and Mark Williams

The first monograph of the New Zealand painter Peter Ireland this book surveys his practice, on the theme of Captain Cooks voyages to the Pacific. Irelands exquisite, detailed and enigmatic history painting is beautifully reproduced in this 100pp. , spot varnished, offset reproduction, to reflect the oil on paper originals. Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the first sustained European contact with Aotearoa New Zealand, this book features 69 works from, mostly, Irelands ongoing James Cook series and the associated Waitangi Wallpaper series, supported by a number of related works from his Curator, Panorama and continuing Sampler series. These series represent about one-third of his total art practice.
