John Henry OLSEN O.B.E., A.O. (b.1928)
Limited Edition Print 8/65 THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER - THE BANQUET, 2004
John Olsen is one of the most senior, respected Australian artists. He is greatly influenced and inspired by the Australian landscape. His work shows none of the European concern for scale. Rather, his loosely brushed canvases have no distinguishable fore, middle or background, and they are bought alive with light-filled, scrawly images that at the same time manage to give both a bird’s eye and snake’s eye view. The series Journey into the you beaut country, created after his return to Sydney in the early 1960s, is among his greatest poetical visions of place. Olsen said: “I wanted to really come to terms with the experience of a total landscape. Not like there is the foreground, there is the middle distance and there is the horizon. I wanted that overall feeling of travelling over the landscape. There you can see the dry creek beds, the nervous system… Then you begin to somehow see the wholeness, the essential untidiness.”
