Brett Whiteley: Art, Life and the Other Thing

Brett Whiteley: Art, Life and the Other Thing
Ashleigh Wilson
Text Publishing

Ashleigh Wilson methodically tracks this mercurial artist from early family days to his final years – a motley of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, and importantly art. With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, Wilson’s book is an intimate biography filled with first-hand narratives, recollections and letters from friends and artists, notably his wife Wendy and daughter Arkie, artists Lloyd Rees, Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd, and writers Robert Hughes and Clive James.

The publication is illustrated with classic Whiteley paintings of emotive colour, alongside his black and white drawings, rare notebook sketches and candid family photographs.
