Dobell, Whitely, Nolan and Boyd Masterpieces On Show Newcastle

NEWCASTLE Art Gallery is hosting Australia’s most important modern artworks next month will be a ‘‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’’ for art lovers. Rarely seen away from Sydney, a collection of 20th-century Australian masterpieces will soon adorn the walls of the Newcastle gallery.

Legendary artists such as William Dobell, Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan and Brett Whiteley are on loan to Newcastle from the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of NSW.
 
Iconic works by Newcastle-born painter William Dobell are among the paintings selected for the Australian Modern Masterpieces exhibition.

They include Dobell’s 1941 painting Portrait of a Strapper, which the Newcastle gallery owns and which will sit alongside his Archibald Prize-winning portrait of Margaret Olley from 1948.



Entry will be $8 per adult, with children under-12 free.
