Join art historian and Wintec School of Media Arts lecturer Ed Hanfling as he shares his experience of working with NZ’s leading abstract artist Milan Mrkusich. Ed's book "Mrkusich: the art of transformation", co-authored with Alan Wright, is a finalist in this years NZ Post Book Awards.

This book is the first account of the work of New Zealand’s leading abstract painter, Milan Mrkusich. Trained as an architect and working for the innovative design form Brenner Associates in the 1940s, Mrkusich quickly established a new mode of painterly abstraction and the book traces his work from the early emblem paintings, through the triumphant corner works of the 1960s, and on to the artist’s broad recognition from the 1970s.
