Notes: 'Although Philip Sutton is an artist known particularly for large canvases richly painted with the brightest colours, the intensity and "colour" of these black-and-white images [...] is remarkable' (Bibliography). Both the scale and the colour that characterises the artist's work are represented in the format and the binding of the book itself.
