Sidney Nolan exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales

From November 2 to February 3, the Art Gallery of New South Wales will be featuring an exhibition by famous Australian painter, Sidney Nolan.

Nolan died in 1992, and this is the first major exhibition of his work since his death. Born in Melbourne, he would later study art in Paris and travel around Europe before returning to Australia. Nolan was a fervent supporter of the Australian cause, painting a huge selection of paintings about Australian outlaw, Ned Kelly, which were hoarded by his close friend, Sunday Reed.

While known for his Ned Kelly paintings and his landscapes, I prefer this one, The Slip.

From the site:

"Sidney Nolan A New Retrospective
2 November 2007 to 3 February 2008

Discover the genius of Sidney Nolan, one of Australia’s greatest painters, in this major survey of his celebrated career and extraordinary life.

Nolan transformed our view of the Australian landscape, creating spectacular and original compositions. His work was unpredictable, imaginative and poetic and led him to become our first internationally acclaimed artist.

The exhibition includes many of Nolan’s finest masterpieces which have become indelible icons of 20th century Australian art – the famed Ned Kelly works, early St Kilda and Wimmera paintings, the spectacular Riverbend landscape and Burke and Wills leaving Melbourne. It also features magnificent works from private collections which have rarely been seen by the public.

Drawing on the significant influence music and poetry had during his life, the exhibition’s audio guide and events feature poetry readings, original recordings and personal reflections by Nolan.
