Charlie Rose and Peter Brown The Gay Artist and His Lover

Second in a series of books featuring artwork by New Zealand LGBTQ+ artists or about New Zealand LGBTQ+ issues. This book features self-portrait paintings by Rose, portraits of his partner Peter Brown and a poem by Brown, written near the end of their 49-year relationship, when Charlie was dying. The book is multi-sectional and includes 2 sections that are not bound into the main book. This is done deliberately to, literally and figuratively, subvert a 'straight reading' and encourage the reader to fully engage in the book.
