Drysdale: outback visionary
Sir Russell Drysdale, who died yesterday aged 69, will be remembered as the artist who for more than two decades impressed into the Australian consciousness his own strong, idiosyncratic image of the Australian outback.

It is his classic paintings and drawings of the 1940s that assure Drysdale a permanent place in the history of our art. He ventured into a largely unrecorded landscape the Heidelberg School did not want to know, and helped shape our image of our country.
