By A Customer
This review is from: Dear Sun: The letters of Joy Hester and Sunday Reed (Hardcover)
Joy Hester and Sunday Reed were two important women in Australian cultural life of the 1940s. Hester was an artist and Sunday Reed, her patron.Their letters to one another span 1940-1960, the year of Hester's death. Reed's home was a focus for Melbourne's radical cultural life. Hester was Reed's best friend. When Hester contracted cancer in 1947, Reed adopted her son.Their letters chart the passage of Hester's illness together with Reed's love for her garden, books, poetry, art and friendship.Despite poverty and illness, Hester produced fine, expressionist drawings which are now in Australia's state galleries. Reed was her constant and unflagging audience.
