While exhibiting in London in 1934 as a young Australian sculptor Gerald Lewers was described as a pioneer, an artist "destined to become a powerful influence in the cause of modernism in Australia." Peter Pinson, author and academic, confirms this prediction in his book GERALD LEWERS SCULPTOR.
Tracing the challenges and opportunities experienced by Lewers, Pinson brings alive the period in which he worked and his recognition as a sculptor dedicated to the use of natural materials. The qualities of drama and movement that characterised small and large works are illustrated in more than 40 black and white and coloured images.
