Painter, printmaker, teacher, writer and ornithologist, Don Binney
(1940–2012) was a mercurial presence on the New Zealand cultural
scene from the time of his meteoric rise to fame in the early
1960s. His unmistakable, stylised depictions of birds have come to
define an era in the development of the nation’s art. Don Binney:
Flight Path follows the painter from Te Henga / Bethells Beach –
his artistic tūrangawaewae – through his years of wandering not
only the length of Aotearoa but as far afield as Latin America and
Europe. Drawing extensively on Binney’s letters, journals and
other writings, award-winning author and curator Gregory O’Brien
takes us into the world of this gifted but paradoxical artist.
Richly illustrated with Binney’s paintings, drawings and prints
– alongside photographs and documentary materials – this is the
first full-length monograph on one of New Zealand’s most
important twentieth-century artists.
