Darleen Bungey has written a landmark biography of John Olsen, Australia's greatest living artist. From his childhood up until today, 'John Olsen: An Artist's Life' explores the life and qualities of an artist who was determined to depict the Australian landscape in a way that had never been seen before. "From a child who was never taken to an art gallery, who learnt how to draw from comics, we come to see the famous artist in the black beret, the writer and poet, the engaging public speaker, the bon vivant - whose life has been defined by an absolute need to paint." The artist himself will be present at Olsen Irwin gallery for the launch and book signing. Copies of the new book will be available for purchase while many examples of John's work will be hung on the walls.
