About This Item
Kent Town: Wakefield Press, 2011. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Kent Town, Wakefield Press, 2011. Quarto, 176 pages, extensively illustrated in colour. Papered boards; a fine copy with the fine dustwrapper. Hossein Valamanesh (1949-2022) 'was born in Iran ... and emigrated to Australia in 1973, settling permanently in Adelaide in 1975. His art is characterised by the use of natural materials - branches, flames, leaves, sand, mud, seeds and earth - and an active engagement with the landscape surrounding him. Drawing upon the culture of his Persian heritage and his experience of a new country, it explores the complexities of identity and place with a profound depth and beauty' (Museum of Contemporary Art Australia).
