Theme: Encounters Artist: Harold THORNTON Birth/Death: 1916 Title: Doctor Brown and green old time waltz Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

It was the work of eccentric Sydney artist Harold 'The Kangaroo' Thornton, and was based on his 1983 Archibald Prize entry Doctor Brown and green old time waltz. More details Click image to enlarge
