Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At age fourteen, Donald Friend declared: 'Have done quite a lot of painting lately, and have made up my mind that I shall be an artist. And I shall be famous!'Friend achieved his aim. He also left behind more than two million words of brilliant, intimate diary entries-one of the greatest acts of autobiography in Australian history. This is the first single-volume selection of these writings and includes material from the two 'lost' wartime diaries recently unearthed in America by Ian Britain, along with handsome sketches by Friend.Everyone is here: Russell Drysdale, Margaret Olley, Jeffrey Smart, Robert Helpmann, Barry Humphries and Robert Hughes, Mick Jagger and Gore Vidal. Friend's frank and often acerbic reflections trace his career, acquaintances and love affairs-inAustralia, England, Italy, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Bali-as well as many of the notable characters and events of the twentieth century.Most of all, the diaries attest to his ceaseless desire to understand and master his art. 'Neither love, food, writing, money or music, nor flattery nor sincere admiration nor the company of friends (all the things I am most partial to),' Friend wrote, 'could seduce me from my painting.' Reworked into a chronological narrative, and supplemented by material from correspondence and interviews, The Donald Friend Diaries reveal an extraordinary Australian life.

Secondhand, Hardback. , . NB: This is a secondhand book in very good condition. See our FAQs for more information. Please note that the jacket image is indicative only. A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Ian Britain Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 304 The four Australians featured in this book - Barry Humphries, Clive James, Germaine Greer and Robert Hughes - are all writers and performers who decided to leave their native land in the late 1950s or early 1960s and to pursue their "brilliant careers" abroad. Ian Britain's profiles of their careers concentrate on the reasons for their expatriatism and consider what aspects of their Australian identity they have retained. His study of this generation of Australian expatriates combines elements of biography, cultural criticism and social history. The profiles are based on a wide range of their subjects' writings and public pronouncements in the press, or on radio and television, stretching back over nearly half a century. These sources, the author maintains, help to illuminate the inner life and abiding preoccupations of this famous foursome more effectively than any personal interviews with them. As well as charting the life and work of four vibrant individuals, Ian Britain's book seeks to suggest what is distinctive about them as a generational group, and contains some reflections on how far they may be seen as the "last expatriates" - the most vivid flowers of a dying breed.
