Description

Organised by AGWA, sponsored by the Christensen Fund. In 1982-1983 a team comprising John Olsen, Dame Mary Durack, Vincent Serventy, Geoffrey Dutton and others, made a 'modern’ exploration of the North-West of WA, John Olsen’s paintings and drawings from this expedition are a unique collection, which, with his sketch books, notes and photographs, form a complete record of experiences over 15 months and the results of his unrivalled talent to express the richness of colour, the diversity of life and the vastness of this country.
