It gathers together, for the first time in print, a retrospective of themajor works of this gifted artist. Through the detail of the particular li ves and places of his native Newfoundland, David Blackwood moves to the universal, to the pivot that creates great art. John de Visser has said, 'The values being portrayed are spiritual. The qualities he shows are of character: strength, warmth, honesty, determination, faith.' In an age of fast-food art, of a world faced with dwindling energy resources and lit by the flicker of TV screens, David Blackwood's images speak of the transcendence of life, of a world where people's actions count, and the smallest of places can grow memories for the rest of the world. VIbrant, vital, and the work of a master artist, 'The Art of David Blackwood' is also the work of a master storyteller, a narrative that has all the power and delight of his native 'New Found Land'.
