Russell Drysdale (1912-1981) Original Ink & Wash "Post Office' 21cm x 24cm

Russell Drysdale (1912-1981) original unsigned ink and wash study titled 'B _ [Bayswater?] Post Office' (Circa 1941) in Drysdales handwriting. I have discussed this rare artwork with leading Drysdale author and authority Lou Klepac and he feels its is most likely Albury, VIC given the buildings and the old truck.  The painting also has the catalogue page verso: Geoff K Gray 14th & 15th November, 1962, lot 122A as confirmed by Dr Ian Geraghty, Davidsons Auctions. (Please see attached image for proof of provenance). Both the artwork and frame are in good condition. A rare opportunity to purchase an original verified Drysdale at an affordable price.

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".

Drysdale’s family immigrated to Melbourne when he was 11, and he began painting, perhaps as a form of therapy, while recovering from an eye operation. Drysdale’s vision of the desolate landscape of the outback, expressed in his paintings and drawings of the 1940s, was influenced by English artists of the time but depicted a distinctly Australian reality. His work was first exhibited in London in 1950, establishing his international reputation, and was represented in the Tate Galleries in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, as well as in all Australian state galleries. He was knighted in 1969 and made a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1980.
