Synopsis:

Ken Done's art and design style, with its brilliantly coloured images, has become familiar the world over as uniquely and distinctively Australian. This illustrated book features essays by curators from the Powerhouse Museum and Done Art and Design who look at the origins of and inspirations for Ken Done's work from his art school days in the 1950s through his years in advertising to his work now as an artist and designer. Additionally, leading figures in Japanese business and publishing discuss the phenomenal success of Ken Done in Japan. The book's focus is Ken Done, but it's also about the creation of an image of Australia and should therefore be interesting to those involved in all facets of art and design
