SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.- The Museum of Contemporary Art presents “Howard Taylor – Phenomena,” on view through November 30, 2003. Howard Taylor (1918 - 2001) is one of Australia’s most revered artists. Based in the forest town of Northcliffe, Western Australia, Taylor captured the changing light and colour of the Australian bush with unparalleled subtlety and precision in his drawings, painting s and sculptures.
This exhibition, organised in association with the Art Gallery of Western Australia, will be the first major survey of Taylor’s work in almost twenty years and the first to be presented outside of Western Australia. The core of the exhibition will focus on the last two decades of Howard Taylor’s fifty-year career with references to significant earlier works.
Taylor’s work of the mid-1950s reflects his fresh and concentrated engagement with the Australian landscape following over a decade spent abroad. 1969 marked the beginning of Taylor’s immersion in a new locale, the Karri country around Northcliffe, WA. During this time he produced a unique group of sculptures that responded to his confrontation with the overwhelming presence of natural phenomena. Key works from these two important periods highlight the influence of over half a century of observing his immediate environment. Organised in association with the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
