This definitive work on Russell Drysdale, in print for 26 years, has been redesigned with an elegant, spacious layout to make the paintings come alive for a new generation. More than 160 colour plates illustrate the work of this popular and significant Australian artist, making it an essential possession for art enthusiasts - especially as the majority of Drysdale's work is held in private collections. This book traces the career of the unusual and remarkably gifted Drysdale, discussing both the sources of his inspiration and the scope of his achievement.

The acknowledged expert on Russell Drysdale, Lou Klepac has re-worked his classic of Australian art, a book that has been in print for 26 years. With a new introduction, this full revised and re-designed edition is a hard cover with French fold jacket treatment, and will sit proudly among the collection of any serious lover of Australian art.
