John Brack b. 1920

  • Artist (Printmaker),
  • Artist (Painter),
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
A painter and printmaker, John Brack is considered one of Australia's most significant artists, whose subject matter was resolutely urban, modern life. Brack's extensive body of work across several decades is largely defined by its caustic realism, sense of alienation and sense of humour.
