Thorough and unique, this is a survey of the life and work of New Zealand's Leo Bensemann--a man accomplished in many fields, including drawing, painting, print-making, music, typography, book design, printing, and publishing. During the period when Christchurch was the leading center for literature, theater, music, and the visual arts, Bensemann's witty and allusive design contrasted dramatically with the prevailing fashion. Establishing Bensemann as a challenging outsider, this account provides a new window into the art and culture of 20th-century New Zealand.
