"It's a spectacular book." "The photography is breathtaking & the book a masterpiece." "Rarely, if ever have I seen the City so well-served visually. What a marvelous work of art!" "Motown never looked better!" Dale Fisher sees the world as few others do - he is perhaps the only artist photographer in the world who works exclusively from a helicopter. Combining artistic vision with his perspective from above, Dale works with color, light & shadow to create magnificent images out of everyday scenes. The unique viewpoint of these photographs is analogous to that of a majestic eagle as it soars, swoops & circles over Detroit & the surrounding area. The 160 full-color images, predominantly full page & double-page spreads, depict the natural & man-made beauty of the metropolitan area in a way that is fresh & new.

Dick Watkins belongs to the generation of artists whose careers were launched at the high-flying end of American-based Abstraction. Almost immediately he faced up to the abrupt end of the Modern era. Culture was no longer to be framed by 'progress'. In 1970, taking stock of the situation, he announced that he was a copyist, there being no such thing as a new creation in art, shaped as it was by visual languages. Nor did he intend to limit his curiosity about the relation of art to life by restricting himself to a 'personal' style. There followed a long and passionately adventurous exploration into many subjects and styles, during which Watkins was often the first to signal changes taking place in Western culture. The result is that for half a century he has been a major, if controversial figure in Australian art.

With its biographical thread, the book describes each work in the context of the artist's personality and life, while indicating diverse ways of looking at the paintings: via biography, style, theme, content, form, and craft.
