Portrait of William Kelly OAM

Artist's book: Fellow travellers: an unfolding story.

William will research Australian visual artists practising between World War I and today, whose works have been informed by their beliefs about war and peace. The intention is to create an ‘accordion’ artist’s book – literally an unfolding story – that will celebrate and connect the work of these artists.

William Kelly OAM is a leading Victorian artist and former Fulbright Fellow and Dean of the Victorian College of the Arts (1975–82).
