{"product_id":"whiteley-brett-light-globe-17648","title":"Brett Whiteley 'Light Globe'","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrett Whiteley had a unique understanding of the nude. His approach, likened by art historian Lou Klepac to a cellist, centred around impact. He struck a line, reverberating it into a curve that formed the boundary of the body, anchored by a muss of face or hair. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis appears profoundly in his 1981 linocut 'Light Globe'. Alive with contrast and bold mark-making, this sensual image appears to radiate light. In 1989, he reflected that “The nude has been predominant really… a very major part of my work. Even when I was painting abstractions, in a way I was painting the nude”. Indeed, it seems to precede his very approach to art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong Australia’s most celebrated artists, Whiteley won the Art Gallery of NSW Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes several times. ‘Girl Warming and Reading’ is a sublime find for collectors of Whiteley and the nude. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/collections\/brett-whiteley\"\u003eBrett WHITELEY\u003c\/a\u003e (1939 - 1992)\u003cbr\u003e'Light Globe' 1981\u003cbr\u003elinocut on paper\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 30 x 30 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 88 x 78 x 4 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Numbered, signed and stamped with monogram below image 'AP, Brett Whiteley, BW'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(c) Wendy Whiteley \/ Copyright Agency\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art \u0026 Collectors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44796949266502,"sku":null,"price":20000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0499\/8229\/files\/whiteley-brett-light-globe-17648.jpg?v=1774398759","url":"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/products\/whiteley-brett-light-globe-17648","provider":"Art and Collectors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
