Abstract

The first major survey of Tony Tuckson's work since 1976, Painting Forever charts the progression of Tuckson as an artist from prominent student of naturalist watercolours and post-war murals to pre-eminent abstract expressionist. Painting Forever is weighted towards the latter half of the artist's 30-year career and includes paintings, drawings, sketchbooks and photographic ephemera, balancing the most radical, extreme and beautiful late paintings and drawings with his earlier works.
