Artist Geoff Harvey has won The Gallipoli Prize twice, and the current edition of The Desert Column by Ion Idriess holds last years winning work. This book is a survey of 50 paintings of his Gallipoli sequence, from Enlisting, through Landing, through the campaign to final embarkation.
It is very powerful, and coincides with his exhibition at Robin Gibson Gallery in Sydney during April 2022. Each painting has an eloquent section of Idriesss own WW1 experience as a Light Horseman at Gallipoli. Full colour throughout.
