William Dobell: an artist’s life. Elizabeth Donaldson. 2010.

This exquisitely produced book is a celebration of the life and work of William Dobell, considered to be one of Australia’s greatest artists and the first to win both the Wynne Prize for landscape and the Archibald Prize for portraiture in the same year. However, William Dobell was a quintessential Australian - more at home in the local pub with his friends than on the international art stage. He was also no stranger to to controversy, famously being sued by fellow competitors after winning the Archibald Prize in 1943.
