This edition is Out of Print as of April 2005. Rosalie Gascoigne Plain Air, and the exhibition it accompanies, includes artworks which reflect upon the artist?s early experiences of the New Zealand hill-country and coast, and which pay homage to one of her greatest influences, Colin McCahon. With an introduction by City Gallery director, Paula Savage, this publication includes a major essay by Gregory O?Brien which explores Gascoigne?s work in terms of the ?vernacular?. Using everyday materials and the common language of commercial signage, her artworks are not only formally rigorous, but also beguiling, affectionate and moving.
