Mark Norval – Kimberley Artist

First Edition. 126 pp. Pencil illustration signed by the artist on the first blank page. For the best part of 20 years, Mark Norval has lived and worked in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and his enthusiasm and love for the north shines through his paintings. As a teacher, sportsman, artist and supporter of the new wave of Aboriginal artistic activity, he has given freely of his talents, energies and ideas. This beautiful, hardback book is filled with full-colour images of Mark’s paintings, which range through a great variety of styles, including sketches, real life works, abstract, caricature, aboriginal, and finally, a style that can only be described as pure Mark Norval. All is accompanied by his words and thoughts on a huge range of subjects. Colour plates, 0717X (At Elizabeth’s Bookshop South Terrace, Fremantle)
