This extensively illustrated monograph is the first volume of three that will survey the paintings of the artist Dennis Spiteri. It traces the evolution of his abstract language through the simple geometrical imagery he began to develop in his final year at art school in 1969, through to the more powerful, complex images of the later 1970's.Classical music informs most of his work. Each of the series of paintings he has produced have had particular music at their core. Beginning with his Baroque Riddle Suite in 1970 (inspired by the discovery of Beethoven's music), to his current series A Mass of Life (inspired by the choral work of the same name by Frederick Delius).This is a unique document, with the text written by the artist, giving a very personal account of his journey through the creative process. This volume also contains the many preliminary drawings he did for the finished paintings - they show a complex mind with a particular vision at work - a mind that is also united irrevocably to a heart.About the AuthorDennis Spiteri was born in Malta in 1948 and migrated to Australia in 1954. He completed his art studies in 1969 at the National Gallery Art School in Melbourne, Victoria and has been painting ever since. He has also written and published a novel Confronting Mephistopheles. He lives in the Highlands in country Victoria about two hours north of Melbourne, where he has built a large studio / gallery to produce and exhibit his work. .

Volume 2 continues the journey through Dennis Spiteri's paintings. Having brought his previous, well-ordered, geometrical universe to a conclusion he now found himself in uncharted terrain. He had to re-invent himself. After years of experimentation, he established a new imagery that was every bit as personal as the earlier work.The hallmark of the paintings produced in the fourteen-year period that this volume surveys shows a restless spirit that is forever inventing and developing from one series to another. Spiteri is no longer content treading in the safety of a well-made road. He takes chances. Again, the text is written by the artist, giving a very personal account of his journey through the creative process and also contains the many preliminary drawings he did for the finished paintings.The title of this volume In Pursuit of Ecstasy is taken from the title of Dennis Spiteri's 1990 retrospective. It was in the heightened state of being inherent in Beethoven's music that he was able to define this 'ecstasy'. It was the key to everything that he wanted to express in his art. Later, discovering the music of Wagner, Mahler and then Schoenberg, continued that pursuit.

This final volume of Dennis Spiteri's paintings completes the journey through his work and brings us up to the present. From the exuberant and sometimes violent images in the Angels series, to the more benign presence in A Mass of Life, Spiteri has traversed a vision that is in perpetual metamorphosis.
