Description:
Tony Fomison: Life of the Artist is a comprehensive biography of one of New Zealand’s most influential contemporary artists — Tony Fomison (1939–1990). Drawing on archival research and more than 150 interviews with family, friends, fellow artists, and contemporaries, author Mark Forman traces Fomison’s life from his childhood fascination with drawing through periods of wanderlust and hardship in Paris, struggles with addiction, and his profound engagement with Maori and Pacific art histories. The book reveals how Fomison’s turbulent personal experiences and deep curiosity about culture and identity shaped his art, which pushed against boundaries and reimagined life in Aotearoa.
