Australian Artists: Portraits by Greg Weight

Published by Chapter & Verse

Greg Weight's book Australian Artists invites us to visit more than 80 significant Australian artists. Many are captured in their studios, and each artist's portrait is accompanied by a personal response from Greg Weight to the artist or the shoot. Brief biographies of the artists provide more background information and help to place them in context in the current Australian art scene.

Greg's purpose is to close the gap between the artist and the general public. With each of these portraits, the artist becomes one of us rather than "the eccentric in the house at the end of the block" (even if some of these artists are among the more unusual members of our society). He extends our understanding of the creative process while paying due respect to these creative and inspired people.

This book invites you to enter the studios of some of Australia's most renowned artists: Brett Whiteley, John Olsen, Tim Storrier, Robert Klippel, Lloyd Rees and many, many more.

The same ability to "look inside" a subject that made Greg Weight the winner of the Inaugural Citigroup Private Bank Australian Photographic Portrait Prize in 2003 will give readers of this book a chance to answer some of their questions about artists and their studios.
