First edition 1969. Foreword by Stuart Cloete and a seven-page Tretchikoff biography by Howard Timmins, 1 page of colour photographs of Tretchikoff’s exhibition at Harrods in London. This is followed by 63 pages of archival-quality gallery of over 60 large-format colour and monochrome plate reproductions highlighting the artist's legendary mid-century oeuvre, including Chinese Girl, The Dying Swan, and Lady from Orient.
Original oat-coloured linen-textured cloth boards, with Tretchikoff's signature written in sharp lettering at the bottom of the front cover. It is housed in the publisher’s fragile gilt-metallic gold foil dust jacket which remains in good condition, as it has been protected in plastic, except for an inconspicuous 12 mm closed tear to the upper edge of the rear panel.
Vladimir Tretchikoff, born in 1913, was a self-taught artist whose distinctive style captured the hearts of millions. His work, characterized by its vivid colours and dramatic themes, offers a visual feast that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Despite facing criticism, he remained committed to his vision, creating art for the people.
The publication by Howard Timmins of the large format coffee table book known as ‘The Gold Book’, was a major coup for Tretchikoff. It was probably the most luxurious publication produced in South Africa at the time.
