Excerpt from the Forward, by Chris Saines CNZM below:
‘Ceaselessly inventive to the end, Peart had spent over 50 years in search of an original pictorial form through which to reconcile his poetic reply to the world. The avant-garde influences so visible in his earliest work were soon enough reduced into an oeuvre of infinite formal and aesthetic variation, making him one of our most distinctive and distinguished artists. Driven by a profound sense of what it is to be human, John Peart had a searching visual intelligence and a deep curiosity about life and the world. He was, without doubt, one of the leading artists of his generation’
