Bio
Brett Whiteley AO (7 April 1939 – 15 June 1992) was an Australian artist. He is represented in the collections of all the large Australian galleries, and was twice winner of the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prizes. He held many exhibitions, and lived and painted in Australia as well as Italy, England, Fiji and the United States. Whiteley studied at the Julian Ashton art school in Sydney and spent several months in Italy on a traveling art scholarship. In London he was an instant success in the “Recent Australian Painting” exhibition (1961) at Whitechapel Gallery. The Tate Gallery purchased his “Red Painting” from that exhibit, making him the youngest artist so honoured by the gallery. Under the influence of such artists as his friend and mentor Francis Bacon, whose portrait he painted in 1972, Whiteley abandoned his early abstract style in favour of a more figurative Expressionism. His best-known works of the 1960s included a series of paintings inspired by the British mass murderer John Christie. After visiting the United States and Fiji in the mid-1960s, Whiteley returned to Australia and created a series of Expressionist landscapes. He was made Officer of the Order of Australia in 1991.
