Curated by Anthony Fitzpatrick. Melbourne : TarraWarra Museum of Art, November 2021. Quarto, pictorial laminated boards, pp. 152, illustrated. New copy of an out of print title. Catalogue for an Exhibition held at TarraWarra Museum of Art from 4 December 2021 - 6 March 2022. With contributions by Anthony Fitzpatrick, David Hansen, Victoria Lynn, Sarah Midford, and Geoffrey Smith 'Developed by TarraWarra Museum of Art, Sidney Nolan: Myth Rider brings together more than 100 works by Sidney Nolan from the period 1955-1966, during which the artist grappled with the subject of the Trojan War, its parallels with the Gallipoli campaign, and its origins in the myth of Leda and the Swan.Throughout these interconnected series, Nolan employs his remarkable visual and mental acuity to meld classical allusions, literary sources, historical references, and his own personal response to war and its disastrous consequences, to convey a series of powerful insights into the broader mythic dimensions of human conflict.
