Donald Stuart Leslie Friend (6 February 1915 – 16 August 1989) was an Australian artist and diarist who lived much of his life overseas. He has been the subject of controversy since the posthumous publication of diaries in which he wrote of sexual relationships with boys.
Friend’s critical reputation in the 1940s equalled those of William Dobell and Russell Drysdale
