About

Sidney Nolan's first major retrospective since his death presents an opportunity to unravel something of the artist's enigma and understand his achievement throughout an entire career. He is best known for his various series, inspired by landscapes, myths or historical events. His output was prolific, ranging across various techniques and media. This retrospective features critical phases from the St Kilda and Wimmera themes through to the first 'Ned Kelly' series, Australian landscapes and his explorer subjects from around the world, including Australian-inspired abstractions.
