William A. Sutton

Pat Unger

"Three years after the artist's death, W. A. Sutton: A Retrospective was held to celebrate the opening of the new glass-bright Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, in 2003. Thousands of visitors to the exhibition were bowled over by Bill Sutton's artistic skill and his vision of Canterbury." "Bill's Story goes behind the artist to discover Bill the child, the student, the tutor, the citizen, the well-mannered bohemian. We meet his pioneer grandparents, who hailed from England and Northern Ireland, his parents, and the Sutton family's modest family home in Sydenham. Pat Unger portrays an attentive son, a steadfast friend and erudite academic, a resolute administrator and a multi-skilled professional artist." "Bill Sutton's heart was in his art, and his art was in his heart." --Book Jacket.
