  • Artist (Painter)
Painter John Peter Russell spent three decades living and working in Europe where Vincent Van Gogh was a fellow student in Paris. With his extensive knowledge of colours and their properties, Russell encouraged Henri Matisse to exchange his earthy Flemish palette for intense, pure colours. For several summers he was also the painting companion of Claude Monet. Russell returned permanently to Australia in 1921.
