Author Talk – Ross McMullin, author of “Will Dyson: Australia’s radical genius”

Will Dyson was a talented, humorous and versatile Australian artist-writer. He was internationally acclaimed in several spheres: as a brilliant and powerful cartoonist; as Australia’s first and finest official war artist; and as an outstanding etcher.

His drawings, showing profound empathy and sympathy, remain a unique record of the Western Front experience.

With ANZAC Day approaching, reminders of this period are increasingly important. This fascinating biography illuminates the life and times of a remarkable Australian.
