John Olsen (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Olsen born 1928, is an Australian artist. Olsen's primary subject of work is landscape, however he has been labeled an abstract artist which he rejects "I have never painted an abstract painting in my life". Olsen attempts to try and display the living experience of landscape. Olsen describes his work as exploring the "totality of landscape"
The influence for Olsen's work is said to be derived from when he travelled to Spain and picked up on their culture.[citation needed] He then returned to Australia and wanted to represent the Australian Culture in such a way that the whole world would see the diversity between the changing seasons.
John Olsen's son, Tim Olsen, owns several private gallery spaces in suburban Sydney, and has become well known around Australia for his expertise in the dealing of art.[citation needed]
