John Olsen: Drawing – The Human Touch | Publication


"Drawing is important in every stage of an artist's career. Drawing is the plank on which you build the architecture of your work. Drawing is a transferable energy, a life force, and it entails many ways of observing." - John Olsen interviewed by Ken McGrogor Author Ken McGregor has sought to identify as many of Legendary Australian artist John Olsen's drawings as possible in his latest book 'John Olsen: Drawing - The Human Touch.' Printed in colour, this catalog explores the length of a career spanning over 60 years.
