Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 0
One of Australia's best known and most popular painters writes about his life, from childhood in suburban Adelaide to his happy move to Tuscany 50 years later. In typically frank, witty and engaging style, he reveals how his lovers, friends, work and travel combined to change the boy from the city of churches to the sensualist whose work sells for vast amounts to appreciative collectors. Smart spares no-one his wicked perceptiveness, least of all himself. From his adventures as a sink scrubber on a slow boat to London to his time as one of the much loved Argonauts and his own sexual liberation, we get the full, colourful picture. This is a reissue of the title put out by Reed as a hardback in 1996. It has a stunning new jacket that will appeal to a broad cross-section of literary consumers, whose interest has been whetted by the major retrospective which has tours nationally over 1999-2000. Includes 2 x 8pp B&W pic sections
