Rodney's response


MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Al and Alan – the book is incredible! It confirms everything I knew about Alan 30 to 40 years ago, but the body of work exceeds anything I knew or could have anticipated. Alan is not just the greatest portraitist this country has known, but he is a stand out talent internationally. And the production quality, scope etc is tremendous. Well done Alan on a life incredibly well spent, and Al on achieving such a magnificent record.
