BW77
Brett Whiteley ( 1939-1992 ) ‘Harbour in the Rain‘ 1977, oil on canvas
Whiteley’s greatest and most revered series - his Lavender Bay works, the ‘canvas‘ of the harbour being directly in front of where he and his wife Wendy lived. It’s quite a minimalist work capturing glimpses of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Walsh Bay jetties and Lavender Bay’s own jetty, with a wonderful small ferry coming in to dock there.
