The Solitary Watcher: Rick Amor and His Art (Second Miegunyah Press Series)

Well-known Melbourne painter, printer, and sculptor Rick Amor is probably the only significant artist of his generation who has never been tempted by abstraction. He has long held what were, until recently, very unfashionable ideas about modernism. Amor’s paintings of Melbourne now rival Tucker’s in their resonance and authority, and have seeped into the consciousness of the general public as defining images of the city. Now in his fifties, Rick Amor has a highly significant body of work behind him, having exhibited regularly and sold successfully over the past 30 years.
