Lecture: Tuckson, Fairweather and the Crisis of Easel Painting by Terence Maloon

In conjunction with the exhibition SYNERGY: TONY TUCKSON - Drawing into painting, art historian and curator Terence Maloon will present a lecture on two major Australian 20th century artists, Ian Fairweather and Tony Tuckson.  

In particular, he will discuss how each artist responded to, and acted out, what the critic Clement Greenberg described in 1948 as the ‘crisis of the easel picture’. 

Re-inventing themselves in an extraordinary degree of isolation, these two expatriate Englishmen were united in their ambitions as modern artists, but divided by their generational difference.

Exhibition viewing and refreshments from 3pm | Lecture commences at 3.30pm
