The catalogue cover will illustrate Russell Drysdale’s major painting, Going to the Pictures, 1941,
a masterpiece of Australian art.
“Drysdale as a consciously modern artist takes the rural motifs of the old guard and uses them for his own purpose, preparing the way for artists after him, for Nolan and Boyd,” Dr Heathcote says. “This is where modern Australian art starts to go somewhere different and takes on the old guard and beats it at its own game.”
The auction includes further, remarkable works by luminaries such as Streeton, Williams, Fairweather, Smart, Olsen, Audette and Upward and quintessential works of contemporary art by Gascoigne, Arkley, Onus and Quilty.
