CHROMA is a gem of a book by Derek Jarman exploring the history of colour. It is a wonderful book to go to bed with. Short chapters with fascinating episodes from the worl Derek has encountered. Lots of good authors, philosophers and dreamers quoted.

This week sees the release of Murray Bail's new edition (revised) of IAN FAIRWEATHER,
Ian was an architype for many painters and artisans in Australia and worldwide. Scratch most artists and you will find Fairweather close to their hearts.
Of course his DRUNKEN BUDDHA remains a firm favourite and maybe it will be reprinted with better paper and plates.
