‘Mouse and Gorgonzola’ sparkles with humour. Legend of Australian art, John Olsen, turns his formidable talent to capturing a mouse and his Italian blue cheese. It is a tale as old as time and under the artist’s hand, captured with a tail as long as a road. Whether the dynamism of the Australian landscape or a mouse’s lactic love, Olsen injects his work with personality and optimism, treating all creatures great and small with the same degree of delight.

Winner of the Wynne, Sulman and Archibald Prizes, represented in all major institutions and a recipient of an Order of Australia, Olsen is an icon of Australian art. Exceptionally rare to market, this work is a hand-signed archival pigment print on paper. It will charm collectors of Olsen, important Australian art and those about to catch their cheese.
