Description
The newest addition to the Artist's Materials series offers the first technical study of one of Australia's greatest modern painters.
"Paula Dredge's exhaustive technical analysis of the work of one of Australia's greatest and most complex painters, Sidney Nolan, . . . is essential reading to anyone curious to see how a particular alchemy works to make an artist's imagery unforgettable. Staring into her microscope with huge respect and admirable clarity of writing, the author never abandons the implication of Nolan's mystery beyond mere methodology. Better than that, she enhances it." --Barry Pearce, Emeritus Curator of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales "This extensively researched and amply illustrated book reveals important findings about Sidney Nolan's materials and methods, and makes a significant contribution to the understanding of his work. Its rich blend of scientific information, biographical narrative and relevant images makes it accessible to the interested reader as well as conservators and art historians. Much more than a technical guide, it is a key resource for any serious Nolan scholar." --Kendrah Morgan, Senior Curator, Heide Museum of Modern Art
