Heide Museum of Modern Art

Recently I visited the Heidi Museum of Modern Art, and I thoroughly urge everyone to attend.  It is jam packed full of brilliant exhibitions - Mirka, Albert Tucker's 'Images of Evil', Colour Bazaar and Drawings.


John Olsen Pelicans and waterway 1978

There were numerous accounts for inspiration and quotes that are completely sinominous with that of Roar Drawing.  I shall share a few.........

At the Drawing exhibition by artists such as Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Erica McGilchrist, Fred Williams and Peter Booth they quoted that.......

'Drawing is widely considered to be the most personal and immediate of art disciplines.'



Peter Booth said.....
...... he draws constantly to discover images and subjects arising from observed and imagined realities.


......the drawings attempt to reveal the forces within nature rather than the external appearance of it's forms.


......the atmosphere of a place would determine the style and mood of those images.  He would begin by focusing on a small detail of the landscape then allow the drawing to develop spontaneously, combining his observations with the imagery from memory and his imagination.


MIRKA MORA


MIRKA a Melbourne favourite.

Mirka has a long time attachment to Dolls, she has said that.......
'A doll to me is not an inanimate object; a doll captures childhood........ it means that ....... I am still able to search and discover.  Because childhood means discovery in the sense that nothing is fixed yet; all roads are still open.'
