Baldessin/Whitely: Parallel Visions at the NGV
Exhibition dates: Fri 31 Aug 2018 - Mon 28 Jan 2019
George Baldessin and Brett Whiteley were both born in 1939, and in the 1960s and 1970s experienced meteoric success in their respective cities of Melbourne and Sydney. Baldessin's prints and Whiteley's drawings and paintings share many startling and unusual synergies. Both were figurative expressionists, attracted to popular culture, to the avant-garde and existentialist ideas. Both were innovative in their use of mediums, were brilliantly provocative in their artistic language and ultimately created art that epitomised their epoch. Tragically, both men also died unexpectedly young. Baldessin/Whiteley: Parallel Visions is a visually exciting and innovative blockbuster exhibition that brings together for the first time the work of these two giants of Australian art.
