In One Small Measure Judith Brooks, an artist herself and Doreen Goodchild’s daughter, presents a lively account of her mother’s life as an artist in Adelaide and beyond, from the years immediately after World War One until the last years of the 20th century.
The monograph is presented to coincide with a retrospective of the art of her parents, Doreen and John Goodchild, for History Month at the Royal South Australian Society of Arts Gallery in Adelaide in 21 April – 12 May 2019. John Goodchild was President of the Society 1937– 40 and Doreen was the inaugural Secretary of the Society’s Sketch Club, founded in 1923.
Judith Brooks was born in 1936 in Adelaide. She grew up observing their lives as artists and later in life became an artist herself, exhibiting regularly in venues such as Kensington Gallery. She wrote a self-published book on her father after his death, in the early 1980s, with much of the research compiled by her mother, the subject of this book.
The monograph is published by the Royal SA Society of Arts.
