Austrálsky umelec Kenneth Stephen Done je známy predovšetkým svojou maliarskou tvorbou, ktorá sa vyznačuje jednoduchými, jasne farebnými obrazmi austrálskych pamiatok. Jeho diela, hoci sa objavili na širokej škále produktov, majú svoj primárny záujem v umení ako takom. Jeho práce sú cenené pre svoju živosť a jedinečné zobrazenie austrálskej krajiny. Ako poznamenal umelecký kritik John McDonald, Done je vo svojom umeleckom smerovaní veľmi seriózny.
Featuring a vibrant array of Ken Done's artwork, this collection combines two previously separate volumes, showcasing his exuberant depictions of nature and life. Readers will encounter exotic flowers, tropical fish, and lively portraits, alongside still-lifes and nudes. This dazzling selection highlights Done's imaginative style and celebrates the beauty of Australia through his unique artistic lens.
In 100 Missions North , Ken Bell recounts the harrowing sorties that he and his comrades flew in F-105 Thunderchiefs, the famous "Thud", in 1966-67, when pilots faced a 50 percent loss rate. What was it like to face these odds day after day? We learn that men sustained by faith in each other and joined by the unique bonds of combat can overcome anxiety, fear, and even terror to achieve common goals.
