Hardcover and Dust Jacket , large format, 30.5x23.5cm, 155 pages, profusely illustrated. Has a 4cm closed tear to the bottom edge of front d/j cover, some light edge and corner wear, general wear, quite decent. Todds' strongly figurative work revolves around intimate, personal and often erotic connections with his subjects, while encompassing broader themes. Preoccupied by the nude, his bold and expressive art confronts difficult issues of national identity, Indigenous rights, sexuality, terrorism and war. Steeped in Indigenous Australia and Indonesian cultures, Todd challenges colonial and Eurocentric perspectives of Australia's place in Asia, painting the places he has lived: from the Aboriginal communities of Australia's Northern Territory, to Bali and Java, Vienna and Italy. More than anything else, his art explores the commonality of the human experience that links people across cultures. In essence, Todd is a maverick, communicating his message without concern for fashion or political correctness. He commemorates the valor of war heroes, yet is a pacifist. He recoils from publicity and sensationalism, yet paints with his own blood in outrage at the violence of war. He argues his art is not about content but form, yet his work is frequently inspired by text and conveys important social commentary. Geoff Todd's art is inspired by his compassion for humanity as well as form. Lovely addition for the library.…
