An impressionistic and exuberant memoir by Australia's best-loved
artist. Ken Done has an extraordinary place in the hearts of
Australians - we've all worn or decorated our homes with his
artwork. His vivid, optimistic images are part of our collective
consciousness and have helped define us to the world. But what do
we know about the man behind the brand? A dreamy country
kid-turned-art student, Ken took off overseas for a Mad Men-esque
advertising career before an epiphany at a Matisse exhibition
showed him that painting was where his heart truly lay. But a
return to Sydney to paint saw his art overtaken by his
entrepreneurial instincts as 'Ken Done' became a sought-after
global brand. However there's more to Ken Done's story than just
commercial success: the sudden loss of the profits from a
lifetime's hard work and a resultant stressful court case was
closely followed by a shock cancer diagnosis. It was a dark time,
but the powerful paintings that came out of this bleak period have
brought him long-overdue acclaim as one of our great artists. From
his studio on sparkling Sydney Harbour to the ochre tints of the
outback or the luminous palette of tropical waters, Ken's artist's
eye is ever drawn to beauty and colour. But through good times and
bad, what has sustained him are the simple pleasures of life:
family, home and, of course, painting.
