Roger Kemp b. 3 July 1908

Also known as Francis Roderick Kemp
  • Artist (Painter),

The Melbourne based Roger Kemp developed his angular abstract paintings and prints in harmony with his deep felt spiritual values. Although he was hailed at first for his abstract work, there was always an underlying structure, citing Christian and other religious iconography.

  • Baillieu Library Print Collection, University of Melbourne, Vic.
    Description

    This Collection began when Dr John Orde Poynton generously donated 3,700 Old Master prints in 1959. In 1964, the Collection was enhanced by Harold Wright’s bequest of half his collection of Lionel Lindsay prints and prints by W. P. Robins and H. J. Stuart Brown. It has since been supplemented by gifts and purchases to number over 8,000 prints and volumes from the 15th to the 20th centuries, including paintings.
