My brother Donald: Gwen Friend (engl.) 176 S.

Donald Friend - painter, sculptor, draughtsman, printmaker, writer, critic and traveller - was one of Australia's most flamboyant and gifted artists. Here, Gwen Friend creates an intimate and witty portrait of her famous brother, from their early family life on a rural property, through Donald's rebellious schooldays, to the bohemian world of prewar Sydney and beyond. Following the dramas of their wartime years, during which Donald finally became an Official War Artist, this elegantly told story traces his developing career, touching on famous feuds and feasts. Postcards and letters provide fascinating glimpses into Donald's adventures abroad, in England, Europe, Africa, Sri Lanka and later his beloved Bali.
