"I live in a world that is both entrancing and disturbing. Feeling a modicum of social responsibility, I attempt to convey information about the human condition." Franz Kempf is one of Australia's foremost visual artists. This book illustrates much of the artist's finest works from the past 47 years. Franz Kempf is a celebration of an artist and educator renowned for his personality and humanism and whose ethical and political consciousness is vividly apparent in his art.
