About This Item
A conservationist ahead of his time, and "the first Australian painter to focus on the eucalpytus tree as an artistic subject", the celebrated artist Hans Heysen (1877-1968) fell in love with the landscape around the Flinders Ranges, travelling there for the first time in 1926, and making many more trips between 1927 and 1949. His work reflects his deep appreciation and understanding of nature. This atmospheric landscape study reflects the wild untamed scenery of the Bunyeroo Valley, one of the main gorges which runs through the range of mountains named for the artist, towards Lake Torrens. The Heysen Trail, a walking track stretching 1,500 kilometres from Cape Jervis to Parachilna Gorge in the Flinders Ranges, was also named in his honour.
. Provenance: Sir Val Duncan, London, thence by descent; private collection New South Wales.Reviews
