POWER + COLOUR COULD WELL BE DESCRIBED A 'COFFEE-TABLE' PUBLICATION; THIS IS NOT A PUT-DOWN BUT RECOGNITION OF THE BOOK'S SUMPTUOUS PRODUCTION VALUES. IT IS ABOVE ALL A BOOK FILLED WITH HIGH-QUALITY REPRODUCTION IMAGES OF LARGELY HIGH-KEY CHROMATIC PAINTINGS; A BOOK TO LOOK AT, AND VISUALLY SAVOUR. THE BOOK'S COLOUR-CHARGED MANDATE IS CONVEYED NOT ONLY THROUGH THE PAINTINGS DEPICTED BUT ALSO THROUGH NUANCES OF DESIGN: THE CHANGING KALEIDOSCOPE OF BACKGROUND COLOURS FOR THE TITLE-PAGES ADJOINING EACH FULL OR DOUBLE-PAGE IMAGE, OR THE MULTICOLOURED HEADINGS SUCH AS 'THE PAINTINGS / THE PAINTINGS / THE PAINTINGS' WHICH ANNOUNCES THIS SECTION AND, YES, THE WORDS ARE IN TRIPLICATE, CONJURING A SENSE OF BARELY CONTAINED EXCITEMENT
