Sindney Nolan at the Scott Polar in Cambridge

Whale


I thought this was a great collection of works by Nolan, I loved the combination of science and art and the way his gloves and gear inhibited (or improved?) his painting style.
The images have so much character, like the landscapes and the sweeping brush marks and the scientists, cold but sweet, in this vast alien landscape. Almost a psychedelic feel to the eyes.
