Inscribed to the lower side: “R... has come down to his kitchen mountain village/ on a visit, because he had …. about my house/ He brings a gift of fruit and a … celadon jar”.

Born in Sidney, Donald Friend is one of the most controversial figures of twentieth-century Australian art. Intuitive designer and extraordinary writer, Friend has traveled extensively throughout his life, staying for more or less long periods in London, Nigeria, Italy, Sri Lanka and - for over a decade - in Bali. In 1990 the Art Gallery of New South Wales - which has a large core of his works - dedicated an important retrospective to him.
