Content Summary:
Notes from Janet Hawley: Ben Quilty, Australian artist, also recent war artist to Afghanistan. I wrote the first interview/feature/profile on Ben Quilty, when he was announced War Artist to go to Afghanistan. This involved having several talks to Quilty before he left for Afghanistan, and also immediately upon his return. I went to Robertson to interview Quilty at his home and studio, over several days. Also interviewed his wife, Kylie Needham, and senior army officer John Oddie, who Quilty was painting. Trip to Canberra War Memorial to meet Quilty there. More visits to Robertson to see progress of paintings over the months, before feature finally published.
