Signed on the front free end paper from Sidney and Cynthia. Black and white plus colour reproductions. Sir Sidney Nolan was one of Australia s most significant modernist artists, best known for his depictions of the history and mythology of bush life in Australia. His paintings, often rich in colour, striking in composition and deliberately awkward in technique, represent Australian stories of loss, failure and capture, featuring figures such as the bushranging Kelly Gang, shipwreck victim Eliza Fraser and the explorers Burke and Wills. Nolan s iconic paintings of the Kelly Gang contributed to the development of the image of Ned Kelly.
