Jean Appleton: A Lifetime with Art is a richly illustrated art biography that celebrates the life and work of Australian artist Jean Appleton. The book traces her artistic journey from her studies at East Sydney Technical College and London's Westminster School of Art through a career spanning more than six decades. It examines her development as a painter, her early cubist experiments, her acclaimed still life's and landscapes, and her contribution to Australian art education. Essays by several contributors place her work in the context of twentieth-century Australian art and provide insight into her creative philosophy and lifelong dedication to painting.
