Dick Frizzell - Four Four Time

Four Square Man returns in this print especially commissioned for the Great New Zealand Songbook project from leading New Zealand artist Dick Frizzell. The name of the work is "Four Four Time" and it features the vintage Mr Four Square logo from New Zealand's Four Square chain of grocery stores playing the guitar. This print is particularly interesting to collectors of New Zealand art because if pays direct homage to the classic Dick Frizzell painting of four Mr Four Square images in an identical composition and colourway.  

What makes this print extra special is that only a handful of the 100 handmade prints are available on the open market.  This is because virtually the entire edition has already gone as the official gifts to the famous New Zealand songwriters like Dave Dobbyn, Tim & Neil Finn and Bic Runga who participated in the Great New Zealand Songbook project. The Great New Zealand Songbook is a hardback journal published in 2009 that brought together handwritten lyrics, photos and memorabilia from the songwriters behind New Zealand’s favourite songs such as “Why Does Love Do This To Me” and “Dominion Road”.
