In their studios, over meals in their homes, on journeys together, in galleries and cafes, award winning journalist Janet Hawley has shared thousands of conversations with artists, all of whom have spoken openly about their driving passions, influences and creative needs; their immense joys, as well as their gnawing doubts and fears.
Artists in Conversation is a riveting glimpse into the lives, loves and inspiration of some of Australia’s most important artists, including Margaret Olley, Brett Whiteley and Sidney Nolan, as well as French artist Francoise Gilot, Picasso’s lover and muse. This book reveals the private thoughts and fascinating stories of the art, the artworks and the people behind them.
“Many interviews in this book required the most delicate handling of privileged information, intimate and revealing conversations, highly emotional moments and difficult situations. Janet has a special way of getting artists talking, because she asks the right questions, and has their trust… Brava!” – Jeffrey Smart
