Don Binney

Don Binney’s drawings reveal a personal and intimate understanding of the landscape. By the early 1970s his approach of wandering the landscape armed with a sketchbook seemed quaint and romantic, a product of an earlier time. But Binney stuck stubbornly to his task. More than 30 years later, this drawing of Bland Bay in Northland makes a strong case for the continuing relevance and importance of the artist who works in and for nature.
