This book allows us to appreciate the full extent of Johnson's achievement over four decades.

The book follows his development from early works painted in London, his activities in New York and eventual return to Australia, where his work remains a major force in contemporary Australian painting. Barry Pearce's text provides a fascinating insight into the determination of this independent and highly intellectual artist.
