		Russell Drysdale was born of Australian parents in Bognor Regis, England, in 1912, arriving in Australia in 1923.
		Drysdale declined because the war was almost over, but he continued to record scenes of wartime Australia and showed special interest in events such as troop movements at stations and airports.
		Drysdale's men are huddled together in a group - without individual facial characteristics or identities - at a bleak, impersonal station.

	Russell Drysdale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Bognor Regis, Sussex, England, to an Anglo-Australian pastoralist family, and settled in Melbourne from 1923, Drysdale seemed destined for a life on the land until a chance encounter in 1932 with artist and critic Daryl Lindsay awakened him to the possibility of a career as an artist.
		Supported by a stipend from his family, Drysdale studied with the modernist artist and teacher George Bell in Melbourne, as well as undertaking a number of trips to Europe to experience modernism at first hand.
		Drysdale's 1942 solo exhibition in Sydney (his second in point of time - his first had been in Melbourne in 1938) was a critical success, and established him as one of the leading Sydney modernists of the time, together with William Dobell, Elaine Haxton, and Donald Friend.

	Drysdale dreaming - theage.com.au
		Sir Russell Drysdale's iconic images of the outback and the gaunt figures who inhabited the bleak landscapes transformed the way Australians in the 1950s and '60s saw their country.
		Drysdale's pictures were among the first significant paintings of Aboriginal people since the 19th century, when they were depicted either as noble savages or curious survivors of the Stone Age and European massacres, McPhee adds.
		Drysdale told biographer Geoffrey Dutton: "The way in which a man comports himself in an environment which is his and has been his and his alone - he's at ease in it.

		Russell Drysdale was born of Australian parents in Bognor Regis, Sussex, England on 7 February 1912.
		Drysdale's Study for The broken windmill is related to his group of drought subjects of 1945, painted following his commission from the Sydney Morning Herald to record the drought devastation in New South Wales.
		Keith Newman, the journalist who accompanied Drysdale on this journey, wrote that `Dead trees, a tragic number, loom through the hot dusk in a variety of fantastic shapes as though they died in agony beneath the axe or tortured by thirst as the wind blew the soil from their roots...

		Russell Drysdale's masterful portrait, The countrywoman 1946, has been donated to the National Gallery of Australia from the collection of James Fairfax, where it held a special place for many years.
		In 1944 Drysdale was commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald to produce drawings of that year's devastating drought in New South Wales.
		This stoic figure has many connections with the National Gallery of Australia's other iconic Drysdale painting The drover's wife 1946; in fact The countrywoman could be seen as the drover's wife in younger days and will make an ideal and revealing exhibition companion, while contributing greatly to the Australian art collection in her own right.

	Drysdale masterpiece fails to attract a suitor - Arts - www.smh.com.au
		A Drysdale portrait of a World War II soldier sold for $525,900 was in the expected $450,000-$550,000 range.
		Drysdale's fascination with the outback was first tapped by the Herald in 1944, when the newspaper sent the artist, accompanied by a journalist, on a trek through western NSW and Victoria to record one of Australia's worst-ever droughts.
		Drysdale proceeded to shock the newspaper's readers with his sketches of rotting sheep and gnarled skeletons of trees that had wilted in the heat.

	Icons of Isolation
		Drysdale worked largely from memory, summoning up characters such as Brandy John (painted in 1965) from his many travels, and reproducing his rheumy-eyed essence in a Sydney studio, a skill honed during his early training with Melbourne modernist George Bell in the 1930s.
		Indeed, essence is all in Drysdale's Woman in a Landscape, 1948, which is not so much a portrait of a woman as a monument of stoic strength.
		Drysdale's loss of sight in one eye as a young man also probably shaped his telescopic view of the landscape.

	Donald Friend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Donald Friend's reputation in the 1940s stood beside those of William Dobell and Russell Drysdale; by the time of his death it had sunk so far that he was totally missing from the 1988 Bicentennial exhibition, a show meant to include every artist of importance since white settlement.
		Friend - and to a lesser extent Drysdale and Dobell - suffered from their adherence to an earlier, mannered modernism based in the figurative tradition.
		But for Friend, rejection by the critics (not the public, with whom his postcards from Paradise remained ever popular), except for a few champions like critic Robert Hughes, was made the more acute by what was seen as the frivolity and self-indulgence of his work and life.

	Artists - George Russell Drysdale - Carrick Hill
		Russell Drysdale arrived in Australia from the United Kingdom as a child, and began his working life as a jackeroo, later being employed in Queensland in the family sugar mills.
		Drysdale has no intention of hiding the ugliness of the scene, but presents it with authenticity and dignity.
		Drysdale was also a brilliant draughtsman, and throughout his career his first love was drawing.

	The Cross of Erosion
		Drysdale, who until then had never painted a religious subject and does not seem to have been at all devout, was probably equally sceptical.
		According to the Gallery's director Hal Missingham, the Crucifixion was 'the peak' of Drysdale's 'pictorial study of soil erosion'; it suggested 'the soil of Australia crucified on the cross of erosion'.
		The same was true of another of Drysdale's drawings of 'an isolated dead tree from which the sand had blown and exposed a couple of feet of roots'.

	Australian painting education kit: Russell Drysdale
		The drought, which had so influenced Drysdale in this and other paintings, and which he was originally commissioned to cover for the Sydney Morning Herald in 1944, had finished, but a massive rabbit plague sweeping Australia was a major new concern.
		Drysdale was an excellent draughtsman and photographer, but he seldom used his location sketches or photographs directly in his paintings.
		In this and other works by Drysdale it has been observed that the landscape seems to take on a personality of its own.

	Australian painting - the value of tradition
		Drysdale's work is interesting to contrast to the optimism of previous pioneering artists.
		If appreciated in a historical context, Drysdale's works are not mere depictions of the outback; they record Australians changing their attitude towards their identity.
		Rather than depicting the bush as the place of opportunity, Drysdale's works are a record of a time when Australians began seeing the bush as a place of broken dreams and hence, began to look elsewhere for their heroes.

	Print Article: Who drew this?
		But Sir Russell Drysdale, who died in 1981, is the most desirable name in Australian art.
		In spite of the provenance, the old materials and the plausible signature, he wrote, "I do not feel confident that the pastel is by Drysdale." Pearce explained that he had never seen a pastel by Drysdale on fl paper.
		Even though he and other fakers can convincingly "age" their work, the conservator Alan Lloyd said he was certain that details such as rust marks from nails in the pastel's frame and dried mould were authentically old.

	Scotsman.com Sport - Hard luck on the cards
		While golf is the ultimate game of ifs and buts, Drysdale has reason enough to consider himself more than a little unlucky to be, for the moment at least, on the outside looking in on the riches available to those carrying European Tour cards.
		In contrast, Russell's eventual fate was a slower-burning affair.
		Not until teaming up with another instructor, Gary Nicol, who also works with Drysdale, did he break out of his funk, though after a long season of almost constant struggle, he is, perversely, looking forward to what lies ahead.

		Russell Drysdale holds a unique place in Australian art of his time.
		In 1944 Drysdale translated his expression of tragedy to a very different landscape, the drought-stricken country of northern NSW.
		Drysdale’s travels through Central and Western Australia between 1957 and 1965 led to some of his most dramatic paintings; with large, full figures of Aborigines dominating the foregrounds in place of the former vast, silent spaces.

	Artist: Russell Drysdale
		Russell Drysdale became an artist relatively late in life.
		As a young man, Drysdale was a director of the family owned sugar mill in Queensland and he travelled widely throughout the outback and Northern Queensland but it struck him that no one had ever portrayed the characters of the bush, aborigines, other than as decoration and the reality of the harsh yet beautiful landscape.
		An exhibition of Drysdale's work is showing at the National Gallery of Victoria until the 9th March, after which it will travel throughout the country.

	Art Gallery of New South Wales: Russell Drysdale
		This was the first of Drysdale’s works to be purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales (in 1942), and, indeed, was the first of his works to be purchased by any public art museum in Australia.
		As one of the artist’s earliest paintings with an inland theme, it broke radically with the established Heidelberg school vision of rural Australia as a sun-drenched pastoral arcadia — imagery which decades previously, had come to epitomise for Australians the essential characteristics of their land and people.
		Instead, in a painting which revealed an emerging personal style, and signalled the future importance of the figure to his image of Australia, Drysdale focussed on an evocation of strange human survival amidst the isolation and hardship of the interior.
