JAMES GLEESON (b.1915) A SURVEY PAINTINGS AND WORKS ON PAPER 1930S - 1970S James Gleeson is Australia's best known and most important Surrealist. He has been painting and exhibiting consistently from the 1930s to the present. He has played a significant role in the Australian art scene, not only as a painter and poet, but as a critic, writer and curator. Gleeson combines skillful draughtsmanship with a great facility in handling paint. Delving into the subconscious, Gleeson uses literary, mythological or religious subject matter to allow the viewer glimpses of extraordinary beauty. Regardless of their scale, the resulting paintings convey a sumptuous monumentality. Gleeson is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, most regional galleries, university collections, Artbank, and many corporate and private collections. click here for James Gleeson's biography click here for available paintings by James Gleeson click here for James Gleeson: paintings from 1980s to 1990s click here for James Gleeson works on paper please be patient while the page loads click on the images to open another window with a larger view all prices are in Australian dollars and are subject to change click here to return to eva breuer art dealer home |
