THIS TALK REPLACES THE CHARLES RENE MACINTOSH TALK THAT HAS HAD TO BE CANCELLED.
Brett Whiteley is one of Australia’s most admired painters. After spending the 1960s in London and New York, Whiteley returned to Sydney in 1970 and made Lavender Bay his home. It was there that the artist created a body of work that is now regarded as his best. Habour landscapes, interiors and still life’s are a delicate combination of deep saturated colours and sensuous line. His work of this period is simultaneously sensual, erotic expressive, romantic and personal. Whiteley's work often shows an Eastern influence and reflect romantic ideas of man and nature, however, his works also shows the darker side of human life and the difficulties of the artist's own personal story.
