ENGLISH

The artist Sidney Robert Nolan was born in Australia, Melbourne, in 1917 and trained at the National Gallery School in Melbourne before moving to London. He was one of the founders of the Contemporary art society (1938) and one of the first Australian art exponents known on the international scene (awarded, among other things, at the Venice Biennale in 1954).

His painting presents strong surreal suggestions and naive accents, but has attracted our attention because of the subjects he loved to represent, not only landscapes, but especially myths of his native land.

In this art puzzle, leaving aside the famous series Leda and the Swan (1958/1960 paintings exhibited both at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth, and in Edinburgh at the Scottish national Gallery of Modern Art), we have collected some of his paintings of worldwide success dedicated to Ned Kelly, the heroic Australian Robin Hood (1946, in Melbourne, Reed coll.).
