“This biography of Sir Hans Heysen has a scope as wide and colourful as one of his own great canvases of the Flinders Ranges.  As told by Colin Thiele, it reads as fluently and often as dramatically as a powerful family novel and is an intensely human account of the artist’s life and times.  Before writing the book, the author spent twelve months in research, including long periods with Sir Hams, who applauded the manuscript. The result is a finely wrought picture of the artist, the man, and three generations of his close-knit family.”
