Storm Approaching Wangi and Other Desires
A ballet about the life of William Dobell.
A collaborative work between choreographers Skip Willcox and Belle Beasley, painter / sculptor James Drinkwater, and composer Joseph Franklin.
William Dobell told the Court that he had shared a tent with Smith in the CCC for two years. They were camouflage laborers. He admitted that he had slightly exaggerated certain physical characteristics of the subject of the painting but not to the extent others said. He thought that he had succeeded in producing a work of art. –
Barrier Daily Truth, Broken Hill, 1944.
I still follow my immediate impulses, and paint just how I like, when I like, and not to order. Anything else but that, and I would be lost. – William Dobell, Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners’ Advocate, 1949.
