"William Dobell - An Artist's Life" By Elizabeth Donaldson. A New book from Exisle Publishing
William Dobell is considered one of Australia’s greatest artists, with an international reputation. This book is a fitting tribute to both the man and his work. Written in a warm, accessible style, William Dobell will appeal to the mainstream art lover, not just art critics or those already familiar with his work.
Lavishly illustrated with artworks, personal photographs and newspaper clippings, William Dobell: An Artist’s Life paints a compelling portrait of both the man and the artist.

Dobell's style is unique in being able to adapt to suit the character of his subject. If the character of his sitter is broad and generous, he paints broadly and generously. If the character is contained and inward looking, he uses brushstrokes that convey this fact. In his later portraits one has only to look at a few square inches of a painted sleeve to know what sort of person is wearing it."
No Wonder Dobell is considered to be Australia's greatest Artist! |
