Sidney Nolan, Flinders Street at Night c.1945
I adore this piece. The darkness, the ill-defined ill-focussed buildings, especially to the left, the broad brushstrokes of yellow indicating the lights reflecting in the river. If this was an impressionist piece, the reflections would likely be mottled, but I love love love the way Nolan has just plastered the strokes over the canvas...
