50 Year Retrospective Just Scratching The Surface
Leon Periles’ 50 Year Retrospective Just Scratching The Surface is a lavishly illustrated picture-book chronicle of the Australian artist’s half-century career. The 369-page paperback pairs hundreds of colour plates with concise commentary, making it a ready reference for collectors, students and admirers of Antiquarian & Collectible art titles.
Published in 2018, this non-fiction volume celebrates the full range of Periles’ etchings, paintings and prints without drifting into academic jargon. Its generous page size lets the fine detail of linocuts and watercolours shine, while the tight binding keeps every spread lying flat for easy viewing.
The gently scuffed cover and page edges hint at shelf life yet remain presentable; a single dog-eared page is the only reading wear and there is no writing or ex-library marking. From a smoke-free home, the copy is clean, sturdy and prepared for immediate enjoyment or gift-giving.
An essential addition to Art & Culture shelves, this Retrospective offers both casual browsers and serious collectors an affordable window into Leon Periles’ creative evolution.
