LITERATURE
Christopher Coventry, The Wrong Place, Five Sydney Painters: David Aspden, Sydney Ball, Michael Johnson, John Peart, John Firth-Smith, Tasmanian School Art Gallery, University of Tasmania, Hobart, p. 3 (illus.)
This lot is offered with wide discretion on the reserve.
Christopher Coventry, in his catalogue essay for the 1983 exhibition The Wrong Place, notes that 'Where these five painters choose to locate themselves is painting. Their sense of place is painting, no matter where they live. Any of their paintings may suggest to the audience that it depicts a scene, or something of a landscape, but it will express more strongly a sense of the fact that art exists in artifice and deliberated structures, and of the peculiar presence of painting's finite form.'
