Colours of a Life: The Life and Times of Douglas MacDiarmidThis biography is the lively, persuasive and colourful story of a talented bisexual man who had to leave New Zealand to find a life as a painter on his own terms. Now almost 95, still resident in Paris, he is oldest survivor of his extraordinary generation of creative New Zealanders, and perhaps a missing link -- the one who got away and slid under the radar for choosing to pursue a global career rather than a domestic living. |
