Horrocks' exhaustive study of Lye is the result of twenty years of research and is based on interviews with many of those close to the artist, as well as on voluminous documentary sources. It will unquestionably place Lye alongside Mansfield and Hodgkins as a great New Zealand expatriate artist.
Generous illustrations give striking examples of Lye's art and a vivid sense of the man and his world.
