Decades in the making, a biography that corrects some myths about the painter and ‘master escapologist and dreamer’, who chose Bali as his home in the 1930s, for its ‘incredibly advanced and fabulous culture’; draws on private letters and interviews with Balinese artists who knew the artist; covers the whole of his artistry: music, dance, painting; full-page reproductions of paintings, a checklist of all the known works, and an analytical index; inscribed to Barry Humphries by the author in 2012; English text.
