Andrew Sayers, director of the National Museum of Australia, in his catalogue essay states, “His interest in the landscape has been compared to Fred Williams. But ask yourself; ‘Have I ever heard the wind or felt the chill air of the bush in Fred Williams?’ You haven’t. But you can feel these things in John R.
