A modern master, Australian icon, British treasure – is there anything more we could know about Sidney Nolan?
Less than 50km away, TarraWarra Museum of Art explores another aspect of Nolan, almost as a counterpart to the Heide exhibition, with Sidney Nolan: Myth Rider.
Curator Melissa Keys shared that Cross’ engagement offers the opportunity for visitors to reinterpret Nolan in the critical contemporary context. ‘It’s a work that taps into Heide’s significance as a locus of Australian modernism … it’s part of an ongoing body of work in which he both imaginatively, and critically, explores Nolan’s legacy,’ said Keys.
