This book is by the distinguished Australian critic and author Geoffrey Dutton, who has known Drysdale and his work intimately for many years.
Born in England in 1912, of Australian pioneer families on both his parents' sides, Drysdale went with his family to Australia while still a boy. He at first expected to become a sheep farmer and it was not until 1935 that he began his artistic training in Melbourne.
A countryman by upbringing and temperament, Drysdale communicates in all his work a passionate love of his native land - not the conventionally attractive scenery of the rich sheep stations, but the glaring light, the vast distances, the menacing skies, and the parched red earth of the interior.
