Jan Nigro Hill End 1986 Etching, artist’s proof 251 x 200 mm Signed, titled & dated Australia has remained important to Nigro since 1948 when she moved and lived there, briefly. She would travel back often invigorated by the acceptance of the figure there and stimulated by the colours of Australia. In 1982 she and her husband visited Queensland and stayed at Charters Towers. In 1986 Nigro visited Hill End, another old mining town, not far Bathurst, and popular with artists. Russell Drysdale, Donald Friend, Brett Whiteley had all painted there. Later in Sydney she would use her drawings of Hill End as subjects for etchings. |
