"Gordon Walters is one of New Zealand's most influential artists. In a practice spanning 50 years, he explored the seemingly infinite potential of a limited set of geometric forms to create art of increasing refinement. Gordon Walters: New Vision presents the first complete picture of the artist's extensive body of work, illustrating rerely seen paintings and offering readers new perspectives on the evolution of Walters' rigorous abstraction."--Back cover.
