Stella Bowen: Art, Love & War presents a compelling retrospective of the expatriate Australian artist whose work bridged personal narrative and national history. Edited by Lola Wilkins, with essays by Jane Hynton, Joseph Wiesenfarth, Laura Back, and Fiona Clark, this art volume documents Bowen’s evolution from bohemian Parisian life to her role as an official war artist during World War II. The book illustrates Bowen’s stylistic maturity and emotional depth, particularly in her depictions of Bomber Command and returning POWs, arguing for her unique contribution to Australian war art. It also details her relationship with Ford Madox Ford and her struggle to reconcile artistic ambition with domestic life.
