Albert Tucker was one of the Angry Penguins group of artists who were at Heide in the 1940s. His art was shaped in part by the poverty he experienced and saw during the Great Depression and his experiences in the Army and Melbourne in World War II. He also worked to ensure the posthumous reputation of his first wife, Joy Hester.
