Fred Williams: The Pilbara Series
The Pilbara Series celebrates one of the great series of landscape paintings in twentieth century Australian art. Fred Williams pioneered a new vision of the Australian landscape, and became one of the most important Australian artists.
Fred Williams first visited the Pilbara 鈥� a remote area in Australia鈥檚 far north-west 鈥� in May 1979 and was motivated by the exceptional beauty. By mid June, Williams had produced almost 100 gouaches of the Pilbara.
Williams continued to produce works years after his visit. Large in scale and striking in colour, they are powerfully evocative of the Pilbara and in many ways operate as both symbolic and representational depictions of inland Australia.
