Earth to sky : the art of Victor Majzner By Leigh Astbury Published by Macmillan Art Publishing (2002) |
Book description
Victor Majzner arrived in Australia
in 1959 as a Jewish refugee from Russia. His career as a painter accelerated
during the 1980s when, as a migrant seeking identity, he began to travel inland
and study the antiquity of the ancient continent as well as forming close bonds
with several important Aboriginal artists from the Warmun Community in the
Northern Territory.
His spectacular and unconventional paintings deal with issues of identity and,
over recent years, with his developing sense of his Jewish heritage. Some
paintings, more ‘surreal’ than his Australian landscapes, emerged from his late
1990s travels to the Negev Desert in Israel. [Publisher's website]
