L'artiste australien Kenneth Stephen Done est surtout connu pour sa peinture, caractérisée par des images simples et colorées de monuments australiens. Bien que son travail ait orné une large gamme de produits, l'intérêt principal de Done réside dans sa vocation de peintre. Ses œuvres sont célébrées pour leur vivacité et leurs représentations uniques du paysage australien. Comme l'a noté le critique d'art John McDonald, Done est un artiste très sérieux dans ses démarches artistiques.
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.
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.
