Tom Roberts, 1856-1931
A biographical study, critical analysis, and complete catalogue of the work of the great Australian artist. Two volumes. Vol. I: Text. 240 p. Vol. II: Plates.
Tom Roberts
"He was one of the first Australian painters to attempt to develop a distinctively Australian style of painting. In this he was clearly influenced by European art of his day, having travelled and studied in England and Europe. But always he modified techniques to suit the Australian scene. In particular, Roberts was impressed by the plein airists and by Whistler's suggestive rather than precisely descriptive, painting style. And, even though he did not use all the techniques of the French impressionists, he did heighten colour to represent his impressions of light. But basically, Roberts was a realist, and his best paintings are realist representations of his subject."--BOOK JACKET.

The Making of Murdoch: Power, Politics and What Shaped the Man Who Owns the Media
Rupert Murdoch's extraordinary career has no parallel. His control of Fox news, which so successfully supports the Trump presidency, is a key force in American politics. In the UK, his control of The Sun and The Times leaves politicians scrambling to get him onside. But what do we know about the man himself? This book looks closely at the Murdochs, focusing on Rupert's father Keith, who built the family's media power and cultivated the anti-establishment instincts that his son Rupert is known for. Roberts traces the life of the Murdochs, how Rupert Murdoch's view of the world was formed, and assesses it's impact on the media that influences our politics today.
