• Notes:
  1961: 'Durack remains a lyrical painter; however harsh her subject there is a dreaminess in the expression ... ' ; Patrick Hutchings, 'Elizabeth Durack' The Critic, UWA Perth, October 1961: 'There is a kind of tough wit displayed in putting man back in as the measure and the end of the most accidental seeming patterns. The human being is in these paintings as he is in Australia - almost by accident. But once in, he is in to stay; and to dominate even the most inimical of emptiness.'
