Working in the late forties and early fifties, Albert Namatjira is still considered by many to have been the very best at capturing the unique Australian landscape. This piece from the National Gallery of Austalia is a watercolour over pencil on paper.
We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Namatjira captured the feeling of my beloved Flinders Ranges better than any artist before or since.

I also like Matthew Percival for his amazing Australian Outback scapes.
ReplyDeleteThe song on Albert Namatjira by "Not Drowning, Waving" is also a masterpiece.
