"Haunting and poignant, this collection of portraits from renowned Melbourne artist, George Petrou portrays a spirit like no other - the Anzac spirit. Australians from all walks of life have served our great nation with gallantry and sacrifice - ordinary people who displayed mateship, resilience and devotion to duty. The Art of Sacrifice captures the spirit of service in a fitting tribute to all Anzacs of every generation. Using images of the past and the stories of today, the artist travels Australia and overseas to connect the past and the present in a unique, powerful and evocative collection of outstanding portraits. The Art of Sacrifice is a stunning contribution to the understanding and commemoration of all those who have served our great country." -- Publisher.
