Sidney Nolan's Odyssey is a definitive portrait of Australia's most famous artist, drawing on many hours of candid, recorded conversations with the artist. Brian Adams created two major televison documentaries with Nolan as well as a biography, and this expanded work gives a more personal insight from the artist's own reflections and observations.The many books describing his art often fail to catch the character of this complex man, to see behind the myths and shadows. Nolan was as passionate about words as he was about crayon, ink and paint. He was showered with accolades from around the world, yet remained at heart the questing lad from working-class Melbourne. The young adult phase of his life was defined by his bohemian ménage à trois and the great narrative series of Ned Kelly; but his odyssey was only beginning. He was an inveterate traveller, constantly looking for ideas and stimulation, from Antarctica to Mao's China and everywhere in between. He chose rural England as a place to live believing he could view his homeland more clearly from a distance. Although he was born into an Irish-Australian family with no obvious connection to art or culture, he ended his life as part of the cultural elite on all continents. The centenary of Sidney Nolan's life falls in 2017.

Brian Adams has had a long and distinguished career in the arts, as a writer, and as a producer/director in international television. He was head of arts programming for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for more than 20 years. In 1990 he was awarded an Order of Australia, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the arts and entertainment. His books include the biographies of opera diva Dame Joan Sutherland ("La Stupenda"), Sir William Dobell (Portrait of an Artist), botanist Sir Joseph Banks ("The Flowering of the Pacific"), Ganna Walska, a femme fatale who created a great Californian display garden ("Ganna: Diva of Lotusland" - e-book) and co-authored "Australian Cinema: The First Eighty Years. Brian Adams' memoir ("A Pain in the Arts - Culture without Cringe in Australia") is available as a paperback and e-book on Amazon. Brian Adams lives in the South of France.
