The Farmer's Wife and the Farmer

Published by Tangerine Publications Ltd, 2015, 240 pages. Good secondhand condition.

The story tells of a farmer whose wife deserted him, his search for her and their eventual reunion. This book reveals this epic in all its detail, at the same time recording a major contribution to New Zealand painting, depicting a convincing scene of complexity, had its origins in randomly drawn lines, but it is so. It is as if the story was always out there, waiting for the opportunity to express itself.
