Bio
Sir George Russell Drysdale AC (7 February 1912 – 29 June 1981), also known as Tass Drysdale, was an Australian artist. He won the prestigious Wynne Prize for Sofala in 1947, and represented Australia at the Venice Biennale in 1954. He was influenced by abstract and surrealist art, and "created a new vision of the Australian scene as revolutionary and influential as that of Tom Roberts".
One of the first Australian artists to examine the complex relationships between the landscape and inhabitants of inland Australia, Russell Drysdale attained international status for the distinctly ‘Australian’ character of his work. His depictions of Aboriginal people, small town dwellers and rural workers isolated within a harsh and dramatic environment were in stark contrast to the dominant imagery of the Australian landscape as a land of pastoral plenty.
An innovative photographer, Drysdale also produced a significant body of work from 1955. In his final years, he moved to the New South Wales Central Coast and was an active member of the Commonwealth Art Advisory Board and a Trustee of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He was knighted for his contributions to Australian art in 1969.
