Voyage and Landfall: The Art of Jan Senbergs

Tracing the journey and development of Australian artist Jan Senbergs, this monograph provides commentary on his entire life—from fleeing violence in his native Latvia as a child to his prestigious posting as the visiting professor of Australian studies at Harvard University. Largely self-taught, Senbergs' expressive style, capable of great social and political comment, covers subjects ranging from dramatic landscapes and cityscapes to portraits of maverick, outsider figures in history. This warm and insightful chronicle of Senbergs' life provides a richly illustrated, comprehensive overview of his work, his sources of inspiration, and his significant contribution to Australian art.
