Event description
Curator Talk: Kendrah Morgan on Nolan's Search for Paradise
Join Kendrah Morgan from the Heide Museum of Modern Art, and her talk about Sidney Nolan and his lifelong fascination with the elusive notion of paradise and the consequences of its loss. This illustrated talk considers the theme of paradise and its inversion in Nolan’s art, beginning with images of Heide, where he lived with art patrons John and Sunday Reed in the 1940s, followed by paintings of the Australian landscape and its mythic figures, images of later restless travels, a selection of telling self-portraits and the seductive yet toxic tropical jungle of his Paradise Garden series.
Tickets $10. Bookings essential
