Published by the Queensland Art Gallery, Fairweather is a landmark art monograph dedicated to the life and work of Ian Fairweather, one of Australia's most enigmatic and celebrated painters. Written by acclaimed Australian novelist Murray Bail, with contributions from Pierre Alechinsky, Mary Eagle, Ursula McEntee, Martin Kreuger, and Joanna Capon, the text presents a rich and authoritative account of Fairweather's singular artistic vision. Known for his reclusive life on Bribie Island and his deeply spiritual, semi-abstract canvases that synthesised Eastern and Western traditions, Fairweather remains one of the most compelling figures in twentieth-century Australian art. This volume chronicles his extraordinary journey across Asia and Australia, illustrating how his restless wandering and profound isolation profoundly shaped his distinctive aesthetic. An indispensable reference for collectors, curators, and enthusiasts of modern Australian art, it stands as the definitive survey of a painter whose legacy continues to resonate.
