Peregian Codex :<br />

James Gleeson.<br />

KLEPAC, Lou.<br />

# 2756<br />

Sydney: The Beagle Press, 2008. Oblong quarto, boards in dustjacket,<br />

96 pp., fully illustrated with Gleeson’s vivid surreal imagery. The<br />

standard edition, printed in an edition of 500 copies. The Peregian<br />

Codex features the drawings that James Gleeson made while on<br />

holiday at Peregian Beach, Queensland, from December 1982 to<br />

January 1983. They were a prelude to the grand series of paintings that<br />

he began in 1983. This magnificent large format monograph illustrates<br />

the fine series of work which is now considered one of the high points<br />

of Gleeson’s oeuvre. This is the last monograph produced on the artist<br />

before he passed away in 2008.<br />
