Albert Tucker: Explorers and Intruders

This exhibition traces Albert Tucker’s persistent fascination with outsiders, here conveyed through his haunting depictions of explorers and intruders, tragic and often menacing figures who trespass upon the Australian bush. These anonymous figures pre-occupied Tucker for around a decade from the late 1950s, the earliest painted prior to his return to Australia after a long period spent aboard
