Bio
Dickerson is one of Australia's most recognised figurative artists and one of a generation of influential artists who include Ray Crooke, Charles Blackman, Laurence Hope, Margaret Olley and Inge King. A self-taught painter, Robert Dickerson was a founding member of The Antipodeans art movement. Inspired by people and scenes of everyday life, his work is often described as melancholy, with isolated figures, menacing dark streetscapes and anguished facial expressions characterising his painting.Dickerson was a self-taught artist who refused to go to art school. His art has been described as angular and high contrast chiaroscuro and executed in a range of materials including paint, pastels, charcoals and other graphic media.
Born in the Sydney suburb of Hurstville and raised in inner-city Surry Hills in straitened circumstances, Dickerson was a child of the Great Depression. He left school at 14 to work in a factory, taking up boxing as a hobby and turning professional at 16. Two years later he joined the Royal Australian Air Force and spent time in Darwin and South East Asia during the Second World War, where he made drawings in his downtime. He began to paint in 1947. Of finding his affinity for art he said: ‘It was terribly exciting. I knew I had stumbled on the most important discovery about myself that I’d ever make.’
Dickerson continued to paint and exhibit regularly for the next five decades before his death in Nowra, on the New South Wales south coast, in 2015
