- Summary:
- The first major work on abstract painter John Firth-Smith, regarded as one of the leading Australian painters of his generation. Initially influenced by color-field painting, Firth-Smith has explored a diverse range of images and symbols derived from marine imagery, organic forms in nature, and archetypal aspects of ancient cultures. The brilliance of Firth-Smith's work invites a rich diversity of interpretation and also suggests an invigorating freedom that manifests itself in the painter's spirited rejection of ideology.
