Patrick Dalli is a leading figure in contemporary art in Malta, specialising in the human figure. Recognised as a leading master of the Nude, his work is highly finished and characterised by anatomical exactitude and sculptural solidity. The book also examines his portraiture, which, although lesser known, has a freshness and immediacy that brings out the true personality of his sitters. Illustrated in full colour, this book is a fascinating guide to the work of an artist whose work rejects the contrived and artificial and reveals his full command of his medium.
