Book Description
Colin Colahan was an Australian painter of outstanding ability and reputation who from the 1920s to the 1970s was remarkably productive. Colahan was one of the more brilliant pupils of the painter Max Meldrum. Identification with the unfashionable 'Meldrumites' is one explanation for Colahan's disappearance from the public gaze. The other has murkier origins in the still unsolved murder of his girlfriend, Mollie Dean, in 1930. There was nothing of substance to link Colahan to the brutal murder, but fevered public speculation cast a depressing shadow for many years and helped propel him to Europe in 1935. There he stayed for the rest of his long life. The story of Colahan's personal life is tantalising in itselfandmdash;three marriages, five children, numerous lovers, beautiful houses in England and Italy, portrait painter of the rich and famous. It was an urbane life. He was a witty, charming, talented man. This intimate, engaging portrait is indeed most welcome, and will restore Colahan's life and work to its rightful place in the history of Australian art.

Book Description
Taking its cue from the artists, this publication embraces a variety of methodologies to consider Dusan and Voitre's unique visual world. It brings together the voices of eleven writers with varying histories and relationships to the artists and their work. Their essays loosely track six decades of Dusan and Voitre's unwavering commitment to their art, as they moved with ease between figuration and abstraction, and across diverse media: paintings, drawings, sculpture, films, prints, photographs and jewellery.
