Letters by Lilburn - Description

'Dear Douglas. The heart, a bucket, will be emptied: and you are ocean enough to contain a little of me ....'

Letter to Lilburn is the compilation of an extraordinary correspondence over six decades.

The intriguing selection of letter extracts and poems written by acclaimed expatriate painter Douglas MacDiarmid to his friend and first great love, composer Douglas Lilburn, has been compiled by biographer Anna Cahill to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth in Taihape on 14 November 1922 and honour this remarkable creative bond.

This beautifully finished hardcover book has 222 Pages.

Written by award-winning former journalist Anna Cahill.

MacDiarmid - Description

An illustrated art book featuring 80 of Douglas MacDiarmid’s finest works from a career spanning more than 60 years, by French art historian Dr Nelly Finet. Published in both English and French to coincide with exhibitions in New Zealand and France for his 80th birthday.

Featuring Douglas’ iconic acrylic landscape of his childhood hometown of Taihape (1991) on the dust jacket, this hard copy edition is long out of print. However, while in Paris researching for the biography, Anna Cahill discovered a sealed box of these books in the basement of Douglas’ apartment. There are a limited number of copies available in English and French.
