A Photographic portrait of Sargy Mann
and his paintings by Peter Mann, reproductions of paintings and drawings
and a text by the artist.
The book is based around twenty seven paintings chosen by the artist
to represent different periods in his life as a painter. The first
is from 1963 and the most recent is from 2007. The text is a 45,000
word piece by the artist. Each chapter takes one of the twenty seven
paintings as its starting point, but the text as a whole builds to
tell the story of how he has continued to paint about the world as
he sees and experiences it, while his sight has deteriorated to the
point of total blindness.
Each of the twenty seven paintings has been photographed by Peter
Mann where they are hanging today. Throughout the book we are moving
back and fourth between the artist at home or at work in his studio and
photographs of his work hanging in different peoples houses around
the world, or in one case wraped up in storage.
