Brett Whiteley 'Sydney Harbour Bridge' flora

Brett Whiteley 'Sydney Harbour Bridge' floraOne of Australias most iconic artists, Brett Whiteley was deeply preoccupied with the relationship between self and place, often questioning the extent to which environment shapes identity. This inquiry is powerfully expressed in his depictions of Lavender Bay, the small Sydney suburb that housed his studio and home, where landscape becomes inseparable from lived experience. Whiteley's 1977 etching 'Sydney Harbour Bridge' engages directly with place.
