| Sam Fullbrook: Delicate Beauty |
| PAGES: |
88 pages paperback colour and black-and-white illustrations |
|
One of Australia’s most influential postwar painters, Sam Fullbrook was a highly skilled colourist and tonalist, variously described as a classical artist, a painter’s painter and an art outsider. Admired by the public, critics and artists alike, Fullbrook’s works are absorbing and ambiguous, evocative and timeless.
Published in association with the exhibition ‘Sam Fullbrook: Delicate Beauty’, this catalogue features some of Fullbrook’s most important portraits – including Ernestine Hill 1970, one of the Queensland Art Gallery’s most beloved paintings.
The exhibition ‘Sam Fullbrook: Delicate Beauty’ will be on display at the Queensland Art Gallery, 5 April – 10 August 2014. |

| Yirrkala Drawings |
| PAGES: |
176 pages paperback colour illustrations |
|
In 1947 a group of senior Aboriginal leaders and bark painters in Yirrkala, north-east Arnhem Land, collaborated with anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt to document the intricacies of their culture and history. The result was the Yirrkala Drawings, a group of over 360 works in crayon on paper. Dynamic, vivid and unlike any other Indigenous Australian art in medium, style and colour, this is the first comprehensive publication of these magnificent drawings.
The exhibition ‘Yirrkala Drawings’ will be on display at the Queensland Art Gallery, 12 April – 13 July 2014. |
