A Sydney Impressionist in Mosman: The Art of A.H Fullwood by Dr Gary Wersky
A.H. Fullwood is perhaps the most important impressionist artist you’ve never heard about!
Fullwood lived and worked on the Lower North Shore and Mosman and one of his favourite subjects was painting the harbour from either the Curlew artists’ camp or Livingston Hopkins’ artist camp at Balmoral.
His work also included commercial ephemera such as postcards featuring local scenes which he later published and which provided vivid images of Mosman before Federation and after the First World War.
Dr Gary Werskey is currently an Hon. Associate in the University of Sydney’s Department of History and his book Picturing a Nation: The Art & Life of A.H. Fullwood has been praised by Don Watson as an “essential and rousing portrait raising Fullwood to his rightful place in the pantheon of Australian art.”
Weskey’s talk promises to be a fascinating overview of Fullwood’s engaging art, with special reference to his Mosman connections.
