Brett Whiteley is an icon of Australian art. His work, varied yet always distinctly his, was informed by his travels, the Vietnam War, Sydney, bohemia, Vincent Van Gogh and Francis Bacon.

In exploring these worlds, Whiteley fused the abstract and figurative, creating emotionally heightened worlds of ballooning forms and elongated lines. His imagery is always immediate, reflective of his pursuit for “beauty which can best be described as being on time for the appointment.”

Whiteley’s work is represented across Australian public collections and internationally at the Tate Gallery in London and MoMA in New York. An adjunct of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, his studio has become a permanent public gallery. For lovers of important Australian art, this now out of print poster from the National Gallery of Australia is superbly framed and ready to enjoy.
