14 Book of Paintings For A( Who Appreciate the Beauty of New Zealand Jonathan Whites NEW ZEALAND Not since the colonial artists of last century has any New Zealand landscape artist attempted a truly representative portfolio of New Zealand landscapes, showing the country in all its bold and natural beauty: Jonathan White's first book, New Zealand's Majestic Wilderness, published in 1981, was a collection of 52 paintings of Fiordland: The book was very successful, being reprinted and selling out. For the last four years White has travelled the length and breadth of the country to paint his New Zealand. The result: 41 magnificent oils, 20 from the North, 20 from the South and one from Stewart Island: These 41 paintings showing the natural contrasts of New Zealand are complemented by 45 pencil and ink sketches and each painting is accompanied by descriptive text by historian John Hall-Jones: To do justice to our magnificent country, where everything is on a grand scale, the 41 paintings will be reproduced in a large 381 X 305mm (15 X 12in) format, quality bound with a Six colour jacket and handsomely packed in a presentation slipcase. The recommended retail price is S99.95. Available at all good booksellers from August 18
