Produktinformationen zu „Art & Life (PDF)“
Inside the fascinating world of the Heide modern art movement, written by a man who was an integral part.For Philip Jones and his long term partner Barrie Reid, Heide renowned as the birthplace of Australian modern art was a place to call home for more than twenty-five years and John and Sunday Reed were like surrogate parents. Art & Life, his deeply personal account of post-war Melbourne at Heide, is in part a debt of gratitude and in part an effort to set the record straight, to separate the real people from the larger-than-life mythologised figures the Reeds have become in the annals of Australian art history.Philip Jones was there, in the midst of this high bohemian world where the boundaries between art, sexual experimentation, indulgence and talent were stretched. The Reeds and their peers were his circle of friends from the 1950s to the present day. He knew them all Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Joy Hester, Albert Tucker, Fred Williams, Charles Blackman, Hal Porter, Sumner Locke Elliott, Don Dunstan, Jim Cairns, the Moras, Max Harris and saw them at their best and worst.Never short of opinions, Philip Jones offers a candid account of a time where art and life coalesced into a revolutionary gesture flung into the face of a rigidly conventional, bigoted, if happily provincial, society'. The rebels in this narrative changed the way we live and think, by embracing the modern and scorning the parochial. Art & Life lays out the canvas of their lives in all its messy and sophisticated glory.
Autoren-Porträt von Philip Jones
Philip Jones is a man of unusually varied achievement. He was raised in country Victoria to Anglo-Australian parents. He studied acting in London and went on to have a successful career on stage and in radio around Australia, acting with the likes of Sybil Thorndike and Ralph Richardson. In his late twenties, he relinquished his theatrical career to become assistant director of the Museum of Modern Art in Tavistock Place, Melbourne (now MOMA at Heide). In the early sixties, he established Eastend Booksellers with Sunday Reed, the business eventually transforming into a hugely successful supplier of books to libraries across Australia. Still not satisfied, Philip Jones reinvented himself aged 60, becoming Australia's foremost obituarist a task he regards as 'a rare honour'. He is a regular contributor to the Times, the Guardian and the Telegraph in London, in addition to the Australian and Fairfax presses. Art & Life is his first book.Bibliographische Angaben
