Russell Drysdale b. 7 February 1912

Also known as Sir George Russell Drysdale, Tas Drysdale
  • Artist (Painter),
  • Artist (Draughtsman),
  • Artist (Photographer)
Russell Drysdale painted some of the iconic landscapes of the Australian outback, and in the 1940s his paintings and drawings enabled city people to see the devastation of drought on a dry land. His modernism was sufficiently muted to enable him to be accepted by many conservatives, and the exotic nature of his subject matter led to significant international success.
