Softcover. In 1936 Harry Lavers disappeared without a trace from Grenfell, NSW. Itinerant rural worker Fred McDermott was convicted of his murder in 1947. McDermott persistently protested that he was innocent and following an enquiry 5yrs later, he was released. But the full story of the injustice he suffered was not revealed. In this compelling narrative, the author, a lawyer, investigates how the false case against McDermott was built up, and shows the abuses and flaws in the system of criminal justice, which led to his conviction.

This first monograph on Canadian artist Steven Shearer plunges thereader into the phenomenally versatile work he creates based onmaterial in his extensive image bank of some 36,000 JPEGs ofclippings, Xeroxes, and found photos. Shearer's obsession is his owndevelopment as a teenaged boy, and issues around teen identity andsocial class. The 67 works presented here - a mix of paintings, posters,highly intricate photo-collages, drawings and written poems, from his2007 exhibitions at Ikon and The Power Plant galleries - while animatedby the culture of Heavy Metal music, ultimately reveal the - need tobelong - that helps define the human condition, especially duringadolescence. Excellent interpretive essays by curators Nigel Prince,Helena Reckitt and Nancy Tousley.

Adopting and elaborating upon stylistic repertoires drawn from the history of figure painting, Steven Shearer makes formal and thematic parallels between art history and the iconography associated with various contemporary subcultures including their modes of dissemination such as fanzines and image shrines on personal websites. He is interested in how contemporary society unconsciously echoes specific manners of appearance that have been explored by historical movements or schools. Seen in this light the resemblance between the long, flowing hair of his metal-head rockers and the tresses of Pre-Raphaelite heroines is not fortuitous. Central to Shearer's work is his ongoing compilation of an archive of thousands of images culled from magazines, songs and the internet. In his paintings, text-based works, sculptures and photographic compilations, these sources function generatively as they are combined and recycled across his works. By showing us aspects of popular culture anachronistically, Shearer exposes the false hierarchy of high and low art and prompts us to consider the differences between the cultural industries and the art world.

Drawing on the reminiscences of friends and colleagues, as well as on private archives, this evocative portrait of the great Hollywood star captures the triumphant film career and tragic private life of Norma Shearer

As the superstar of her day, Norma Shearer reigned supreme in the Hollywood hierarchy. A native of Canada, she emigrated to New York early in 1920 with the intent to enter show business. Failing to get a job on the stage because Flo Ziegfeld, the legendary Broadway producer, was unimpressed with her, Norma decided to try her luck in films. She began as an extra. Shortly thereafter, she was seen fleetingly in Way Down East, directed by D.W. Griffith, whom she greatly admired. Griffith saw no future for her as a screen actress, but she was too determined to let this discourage her, and she continued to look for work in motion pictures. In between, she modeled for noted illustrators and played the piano in cheap movie theaters. Finally she met agent Edward Small (later himself an important independent producer) who got her small roles in Torchy's Millions and The Leather Pushers. This led to some featured parts in several films. Small's biggest coup, however, was getting Norma a handsome salary after she signed a temporary contract with Louis B. Mayer. Irving Thalberg proceeded to groom her for a screen career, and eventually made her a star, as well as his wife. Miss Shearer soon became First Lady of MGM. Norma had a patrician kind of beauty, a special charm, and a certain vivaciousness that seemed to belong to the past. Once she was cast in romantic period dramas, like Smilin' Through, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Romeo and Juliet, and Marie Antoinette, she emerged as a compelling and touching actress. But as the modern young girl who defied conventions in The Divorcee, Strangers May Kiss, and A Free Soul, she was equally in her element, for as the sophisticate imbued with a genteel quality that was indelible in all her portrayals, Norma Shearer had no peer. This is her story, a story of a Hollywood that was golden. The book includes a complete index to her films, film synopses, general credits, and rare and beautiful illustrations highlighting her career.
