A Painter in Fiji - Douglas Badcock
A PAINTER IN FIJI
After you have looked at these paintings by Douglas Badcock, you will be even more aware of the fascination of Fiji, its people and their way of life.
Douglas Badcock's impressions of Fiji reveal his love for these islands and the special quality of his painting. The Pacific scene presents new challenges to him. His home is in Queenstown, New Zealand, and he made his painting reputation by portraying the magnificent mountain country round Lake Wakatipu, the Hollyford and Eglinton Valleys and the unique region of Central Otago (see back flap of dust jacket). He has since painted all over New Zealand and in Australia, Europe and the Pacific.
The Fijian landscape is in great contrast to New Zealand's. As Badcock says, 'Out come the reds, oranges, yellows, warm greens and browns to cope with this range of colour, so different from the high country of New Zealand . ..
He conveys vividly the atmosphere of the cane fields, the village market, the fish drive, the coral beaches and shimmering bays.
Facing the colour plates are black and white drawings which point up various aspects of island life.
Dust cover mild-medium wear. Pages 8/10
