Art Club 12

Getting towards the latter part of Nolan's career, and the google monsters are helping less and less, so if anyone can find Young Monkey or African Landscape, both of 1963, it would be helpful to the completist in me - though not a big issue per se.



Sidney Nolan, Glacier 1964

Again, not a piece in the retrospective exhibition itself, but the best online example I could find of Nolan's Antarctic series.  The colours on this are simply marvellous, especially the blue, and this work absolutely puts me there, on the mountain, on the ice, with a sense of a shiver.  This is a cold painting, meant in the most positive of senses, as, being Antarctica, the way it should be.
