Lawrence M. Daws (Australian, b.1927)

 

Window, n/d. Oil on board, 100 x 120 cm

Lawrence Daws (born 1927) is an Australian painter and printmaker, who works in the media of oil, watercolour, drawing, screenprints, etchings and monotypes.
In the 1980s he started making computer prints, and was possibly the first established Australian painter to use this medium.
His subjects are often landscapes, including deserts, of Tasmanian forests and the tropical rainforests of Queensland.
Daws grew up on the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, and from 1970 until 2010, lived by the Glasshouse Mountains at Beerwah on the edge of a Queensland rainforest, where many of his best-known works were created.
In the 1960s he lived and exhibited in London in solo shows and with other Australians, including Brett Whiteley.
From 1977 he was a Trustee of the Queensland Art Gallery and was responsible for acquiring some major paintings for the gallery, including a major painting by Victor Pasmore.

Griffith University, Brisbane, and University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland have awarded honorary doctorates to Daws.

In 2016 Lawrence Daws was interviewed in a digital story and oral history for the State Library of Queensland's James C Sourris AM Collection. In the interview Daws talks to Bettina MacAulay, a Brisbane Art Valuer about his life, his paintings and computer generated prints, and how his interest in philosophy, literature and psychology has influenced his work.

Eugène Fredrik Jansson (18 March 1862, Stockholm – 15 June 1915, Skara) was a Swedish painter known for his night-time land- and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue.

Drei Jünglinge (1951)

Karl Christian Ludwig Hofer or Carl Hofer (11 October 1878, Karlsruhe – 3 April 1955, Berlin) was a German expressionist painter. He was director of the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts.

One of the most prominent painters of expressionism, he never was a member of one of the expressionist painting groups, like "Die Brücke", but was influenced by their painters. His work was among those considered degenerate art by the Nazis, but after World War II he regained recognition as one of the leading German painters.

William Haskell

 

Nestled in the high desert terrain of Santa Fe, William Haskell creates visually distinctive work that reflects his passion for diversified landscapes of the West. Whether uniquely capturing weathered adobe structures, mesas or emotionally charged tornados, his focus on detail defies description. The viewer is intimately drawn to each painting, emotionally connecting to the power displayed over the entire panel. With the use of his original dry brush style, William Haskell takes acrylic to an entirely different level.
