Having fun and learning at the same time
This is from a page I started a while ago where I mix art, memes and information about the artist! Hope you enjoy :)
"Kelly and Red Horse" by (Sir) Sidney Nolan. He was an Australian abstract artist dedicated to represent Australia and its stories. The painter can't really be attached to a particular movement, he was a modern painter trying to put Australia on the map, show its landscapes and legends. He famously depicted Ned Kelly's stories who was the symbol of struggle and persistence in a wild country.
Both Nolan's and Kelly's lives are entangled with Australian history and nationalism, well known figures still to this day.
The artist complained only once in his lifetime to mumble this words :"All the bloody animals are tryin' to kill ya in here mate".
