Abstract

Brett Whiteley’s talent and energy are legendary in Australian art. This Art Gallery of New South Wales travelling exhibition traces the nine phases of the artist’s life and career – from his earliest painting Self portrait at sixteen 1955 to Port Douglas, far North Queensland 1992, painted just a few months before his death.
