AUSTRALIAN ART West Australiana - First Edition. 116 p. : chiefly col. ill., col. ports. ; 25 x 31 cm. #0319/0919/06210/060722/070524/260726Born in Western Australia in 1949 of Greek and Anglo-lrish ancestry, Leon spent his formative years in the outback town of Meekatharra where his fath…er was a hotel licensee. His interest in art began early.At Hale School, art teacher Robert Juniper undoubtedly influenced his decision to pursue art studies. These culminated in postgraduate studies in the U.K. From an early age he won awards, quickly establishing skills and interests in a diversity of media such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, design and kitemaking.His great love for the outback of Australia shows clearly in his work and his imaginary town of Widjimorphup features prominently. As one noted critic has said. "The spirit of Widji emerges throughout Pericles' work and using the myths of Widji he distils the essence of the Australian bush, all imbued with the whimsy and enchantment which are his trademark."
