The revised edition of this book brings the study of Williams' career full circle and includes the climactic works of his final two years. These late works include the Pilbara series--Fred Williams's notable account of the outback landscape. The final landscapes and portraits of his last two years are also published here for the first time. Patrick McCaughey's scholarly and highly illustrated study of Williams was originally published in 1980, and was the first comprehensive and fully researched attempt to inform a wider public of the significance of Williams's work. The author traces the artist's career from his student days through his years of mature achievement to the flowering of his art in the last years of his life.
