Female Figure 1966

Sydney Nolan (1917-1992)

Sydney Nolan is best known for his Ned Kelly series, although during his career he also focussed on early Australian history, the vast and dry Australian landscape as well as many other iconic stories using his minimal and modernist style. Nolan was a member of the Angry Penguins, a group of ‘angry’ young creatives that introduced modernism to Australia. The artists included Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan and Albert Tucker. Sydney Nolan is a highly collectable artist whose work has steadily increased in value and will continue to do so.
