This tenth volume in Dacre Smyth’s celebrated series of visual memoirs presents a personal retrospective through oil painting, poetry, and prose. Pictures in My Life chronicles the artist’s journey from naval service to peacetime reflection, illustrating scenes from Melbourne, rural Australia, and overseas postings with lyrical precision. Smyth argues that painting serves as both witness and meditation, capturing the emotional resonance of landscapes, architecture, and memory. Each image is accompanied by verse and commentary that deepen its narrative, offering insight into the artist’s values, influences, and aesthetic philosophy. As an autobiographical work, it stands as a testament to Smyth’s dual legacy as a painter and chronicler of Australian heritage.
