"In their studios, over meals in their homes, on journeys together, in galleries and cafés, award-winning journalist Janet Hawley has shared thousands of conversations with artists, all of whom have spoken openly about their driving passions, influences and creative needs; their immense joys, as well as their gnawing douts and fears. Artists in conversation is a riveting glimpse into the lives, loves and inspirations of some of Australia's most important artists ... . This book reveals the private thoughts and fascinating stories of the art, the artworks and the people behind them."--Dust jacket.
