The book s. upports the exhibition and, in longer term, will provide a record of Hester's work in the National Gallery's collection" --Foreword.. Bibliography: p. 126-127.. "In this book, Deborah Hart, Senior Curator of Australian Painting and Sculpture at the National Gallery of Australia, recognises the significance of Joy Hester's contribution to Australian art ... Deborah Hart traces Hester's artisitic development thr. ough her life: from her student drawings, to her powerful shell-shocked faces of the mid-forties that drew upon film footage of the Nazi concentration camps, and the personal images of lovers and children in the 1950s. In both text and images, she makes us aware of an extraordinary artist who was able to focus her vision, recognising the power of the human face to express deepely felt emotions" -- Foreword, by Dr. Brian Kennedy.. |
