Paperback. Scott Bevan, Simon & Schuster Australia. In post-war Australia, William Dobell was a household name. But the most famous artist in the land was a broken man. His Archibald Prize-winning portrait of Joshua Smith was the subject of a sensational legal case, challenging not only Dobell's right to the prize, but the very idea of art itself. Dobell won the legal battle but lost so much else. His health was shattered, and his desire to paint was wiped out. He had to get away. Just north of Sydney, Wangi Wangi is far removed from big city life. Dobell moved to Wangi to escape fame, but in that beguiling little place he found community and friendship, and he rediscovered the passion to paint - and the joy of life. Through years of research and interviews with Dobell's friends and long-time locals, acclaimed author and former Wangi resident Scott Bevan discovered how the village protected the artist, cared and posed for him, drank and partied with him. Wangi loved him as one of their own. To the world, he was Sir William Dobell, famous artist, but to Wangi, he was simply Bill. This is the story of one of Australia's greatest artists. It explores how ambition and talent took a working class boy a long way in the world, and how the reaction to one painting almost destroyed him. It's also a celebration of community, and how one man finally discovered where he belonged - in the unlikeliest of places. Scott Bevan is a Sydney-based writer, broadcaster and journalist. Like Dobell, he was born in Newcastle and has lived in Wangi Wangi. Unlike Dobell, Scott can't paint. Bill - The Life of William Dobell is Scott's fourth book. Paperback.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Newcastle finds itself on shifting ground. But it's not an earthquake, or subsidence due to an old mine. It's perception that's shifting.Not only is Newcastle rapidly changing, but so are people's views of the city. People are 'discovering' Newcastle. Or, more pointedly, they are seeing Newcastle for what it is. In Newcastle Scott Bevan examines the character and the soul of the city he grew up in, its past and where it's likely to head. He traverses from early contact between the Awabakal people and missionary Lancelot Threlkeld, Newcastle's convict and steel city past, its famous children (from Silverchair to William Dobell) and the city's role as the world's largest coal export port, to its recent blossoming as a tourist destination and creative hub. …

Secondhand, Hardback. , . NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. Author: Scott Bevan Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 320 What is it like to be an artist in war? How does the experience of war change artists and how, in turn, has their work changed Australians view of themselves, their country and their involvement in conflict? Award-winning journalist Scott Bevan put these questions to Australian artists who have recorded, been affected by and responded to theatres of war, including Sir William Dargie, Nora Heysen, Ray Parkin, Bruce Fletcher, Ray Beattie, Wendy Sharpe and Peter Churcher. Their stories are fascinating, painting a vivid picture of the artists experience of depicting conflict- the hope and tragedy, inspiration and frustration, humanity and beauty that can be found amid the death and destruction of war. Staining the paper with their own sweat, and drawing with whatever materials they had to hand in hostile and dangerous environments, the artists in BATTLE LINES- AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS AT WAR risked their lives to create their art. They were compelled to record what they were seeing, from Alan Moore s bleak sketches of the horror of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, to Ray Parkin s drawings of the tropical beauty that lay just beyond the barbed wire of the Japanese prisoner-of-war cam.
