Russell Drysdale is one of the giants of Australian painting. Although his paintings so uniquely characterise their country of origin, they can also be seen as universally valid images of man and landscape. This book traces the career of this unusual and remakably gifted man, discussing both the sources of his inspiration and the scope of his achievement. The book is illustrated with 150 colour plates and many black-and-white illustrations to enable anyone interested in art to enjoy a uniquely comprehensive view of Drysdale's work.
