  • Brett Whiteley: on the Water
    Brett Whiteley: On the Water Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre 16th November 2012 – 27th January 2013 Education Kit: Year 7 to 12 Contents: About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley: brief Artist Biography Process Curriculum Connections Art Historical and Critical Study Questions Artmaking Activities Cross-Curricular activities Glossary of Terms References Acknowledgements Images About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley was one of the most celebrated Australian artists of the twentieth century. This major exhibition Brett Whiteley: On the Water features over 60 works including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. A highlight being his last unfinished work, Unfinished Beach Polyptych: six imposing panels leaving the Brett Whiteley Studio for the first time in 17 years. Whiteley was an artist who had a deep fascination with nature. Two subjects were the mainstay of his work – the landscape and the nude – and with stunning virtuosity and outstanding draughtsmanship he rendered them with a sensuousness and unique lyrical quality. Brett Whiteley: On the Water explores this special relationship Whiteley had with these subjects, the deep blue of Sydney Harbour, the glistening beaches, and the pleasurable lifestyle of the bathers languidly basking in the sun. The images tell of sensory pleasures derived from total immersion in the surf, to the meditative mood of simply staring out to sea and gazing at the harbour from his beloved home in Lavender Bay. Brett Whiteley: On the Water is presented by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Brett Whiteley Studio and works from private and public collections. This exhibition is especially relevant given Hazelhurst Regional Gallery’s location in Sydney’s south, surrounded by beaches, bays and rivers nestled in the Royal National Park.
