Henry Moore, (1898-1986)

Lot nos. 1300, 1320 Most people know Henry Moore for his big sculptures installed across the world in public spaces, but Moore also liked to work on a small scale. He made prints at a drawing studio very close to his house, and he would go there most working days to work in sketchbooks or on his prints.

Norman Alfred William Lindsay (1879 - 1969)

Lot nos. 1301, 1322 From an early age, Norman showed an outstanding ability to draw. He became the principal cartoonist for the Bulletin magazine, fought many controversies against "wowsers", particularly defending his right to paint the nude, wrote novels and children's books including 'The Magic Pudding' and also made ship models and garden sculptures. His major work was, however, the torrent of pen drawings, etchings, watercolours and oil paintings.

Greg Hyde, (1950 - ), Lot 1310 Greg Hyde was born in Sydney in 1950 to Russian/Australian parents. As both his parents were trained as commercial artists they encouraged him to paint and sketch from an early age. As such, Greg’s work is usually colourful, often whimsical, and carries a twist of pseudo-intellectual aestheticism.
