Gold has created a diversified and monumental body of work in the course of 40 years of his career as an artist. This book explores the many facets of this artist and lays the groundwork for understanding why Gold is often called a 'Renaissance Man'. Beginning with the unusual childhood which helped nurture his genius, it touches on his vast range of creativity and experiences more as a photographic record than a penetrating or exhaustive study. It condenses a life lived to the fullest and a voluminous output to an outline of broad areas of activity in an unusually varied art career!
