• Notes:
  Though most people know about his paintings, Drysdale was also a photographer. He travelled around the outback of Australia working and taking photos to help with his paintings. Drysdale’s use of colour photography as an aide-mémoire was the subject of an exhibition in 1987 at the NGV and a publication which reveals, in previously unknown photographic imagery, this method of working and his stylisation in interpretation of subject matter and specific locations. Christine Wallace suggests that Drysdale “was the visual poet of that passive, all-encompassing despair that endless heat and drought induces.”
