Alisa will share her research into Thake’s experiences in Australia and then then-Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), his visual responses, influenced by British Surrealism, and his own personal accounts from letters written to his wife Grace. Discover how this fascinating period shaped his artistic practice and inspired some of his most compelling and thought-provoking works.
Ticket includes exhibition entry.
