A rather atypical, but consistently quality Dean Buchanan - vibrant proof that Buchanan’s entrenchment and celebration of New Zealand is not limited to our landscape. Of course, landscape is not forfeit from the work entirely, but rather intertwined with the iconic vintage Edmonds branding.

This huge painting stretched on Canvas measures an astounding 1830h x 1180w.

A rare painting by one of New Zealand's art greats - and an intrinsically valuable, visually exceptional piece of Kiwiana.

Dean exhibits a genuine love for “the elements of painting: pictorial rhythm, colour, figurative and abstract forms, and one of the forever great subjects of art - nature herself.”

“If you stopped me from painting, I’d probably die. It’s become that important to me. I want to fill the world with colourful images before I die.”

“Thomas Edmonds, a grocer, started his baking products business in Lyttelton in response to complaints from his customers about the unreliability of the baking powder they were using. In 1879 he sold his first batch of 200 tins, telling his customers that their baking was 'sure to rise'.... Over the years the Edmonds cookery book has come to be seen as an icon of national identity, alongside the pavlova and buzzy bee – it was even chosen to adorn the 'E' in the A to Z of New Zealand stamp series produced by New Zealand Post in 2008.”

Buyer must pick up due to the size and nature of the work.
