John Glover: Patterdale Farm and the revelation of the Australian landscape
Ovata Press, $49.95 pb, 216 pp
Glover Country
If you think you know about John Glover (1767–1849) and his achievements, then think again. Read this publication and you will discover fresh and compelling information about Glover, his life in Australia, and his house and garden.
The book is also a great read. It reveals the author’s passion for his subject, his years of research, and the authority he brings to it. The emphasis is on an exploration of the paintings Glover produced at his Patterdale estate in northern Tasmania before his death at the age of eighty-two, as well as on the farm and house he created there.
The two previous authors who have written about this artist, John McPhee and David Hansen, have contributed much to our knowledge. This publication tells us much more, not only about Glover’s works, but also concerning the specific sites around Patterdale depicted in the paintings.
