Brett Whiteley Graphics 1961-1992
Brett Whiteley, noisy child of 20th century Australian art and nemesis of critics, was one of this country's most gifted draughtsmen. This talent inevitably spilled over into a substantial body of graphics, many of which will be exhibited at the Brett Whiteley Studio from 9 September to 21st January 2001.

Whiteley produced over one hundred and fifty original prints between 1961 and 1992 and used various media of printmaking to express the full range of his subject matter, from figurative abstraction through to landscape, still life, nudes, animals and birds, to the most explicit erotica. Indeed the very breadth of techniques employed by Whiteley, including etching, lithography, woodcut and hand-worked photo-screen, echoed the boundaries that he challenged through his painting and sculpture. One hundred and forty works have been selected for this exhibition.

BRETT WHITELEY GRAPHICS 1961- 1992 showcases some of the finest impressions of Whiteley's most memorable images, from Figures on an ochre background of 1961, a silkscreen executed when the artist was receiving extraordinary international focus in London; the powerful heads of his friend Francis Bacon to the small exquisite linocuts of waves and rivers, and lithographs of nudes of the late 1970�s.

"Brancusi in sculpture and Matisse in graphics were the two artists that particularly made one aware of respecting the integrity and truth of each medium whether it be marble, cedar, lithography, charcoal etc; that the pen behaves so differently from the brush, that to draw on copper with a fine nail suits certain subjects, that to draw with a greasy crayon on stone is perfect for others, the nude for example. I am not interested in the Marxist side of printmaking�cheaper originals. A good print should have the same feeling of 'rightness' that a one-off drawing should have." Brett Whiteley December 1982

An exciting public events programme, Sundays at 2.00pm, complements this exhibition.
