Paperback, colour and black and white illustrations, 48 pages, W105mm x H145mm
The book illustrates 29 carefully selected artworks spanning Hume's
career, including important works from his early 'Door' and 'Rome'
series, his later 'Garden', 'Water', and portrait paintings, and his
more recent flower series. Also included are some of his less
well-known artworks, showing his use of video, photography, and
drawing.
The interview with Hume focuses on his working process:
how and why he paints with gloss paint on aluminium, how he selects
imagery and colours, and the difficulty of deciding when a painting is
finished.
The book also includes a short biography and further
reading list, as well as explanatory notes covering Hume's influences
and ideas that lie behind each featured work.
