Sir Sidney Nolan OM AC was one of Australia's leading artists of the 20th century. Working in a wide variety of mediums, his oeuvre is among the most diverse and prolific in all of modern art. He is best known for his series of paintings on legends from Australian history, most famously Ned Kelly, the bushranger and outlaw. Nolan's stylised depiction of Kelly's armour has become an icon of Australian art.
This fascinating piece was part of his New Guinea Series, which stretched from the mid 1960s until the early 1970s. This piece was exhibited in Switzerland!! 😍👌
