Martin Sharp's art was as singular as his style. He blurred the
boundaries of high art and low with images of Dylan, Hendrix and
naked flower children that defined an era. Along the way the
irreverent Australian was charged with obscenity and collaborated
with Eric Clapton as he drew rock stars and reprobates into his
world. In this richly told and beautifully written biography, Joyce
Morgan captures the loneliness of a privileged childhood, the heady
days of the underground magazine Oz as well as the exuberant
creativity of Swinging London and beyond. Sharp pursued his
quixotic dream to realise van Gogh's Yellow House in Australia. He
obsessively championed eccentric singer Tiny Tim and was haunted by
Sydney's Luna Park. Charismatic and paradoxical, he became a
recluse whose phone never stopped ringing. There was no one like
Martin Sharp. When he died, he was described as a stranger in a
strange land who left behind a trail of stardust.
