BIOGRAPHY AUSTRALIAN ART

 Joy Hester was the only woman member of Angry Penguins, Melbourne’s radical art coterie of the war years, and the wife of Albert Tucker. Sunday Reed was her closest friend, a wealthy and charismatic patron of the arts.

Their correspondence follows the ebb and flow of their creativity, struggles with illness and poverty, losses and gains in love, and their heated intellectual and artistic debates. Friends and loved ones cross the pages of their letters: Albert Tucker, Max Harris, Sidney Nolan, Barrett Reid, John Perceval and the Boyds.

‘Dear Sun’ reveals a powerful and intimate friendship between two remarkable women.
