Product Description
Synopsis
Since the 1970s, Rod Milgate has established his reputation as a prominent Australian painter. An early recipient of the Harkness Fellowship Award, Milgate developed a style that was both distinctive and philosophical and at times explored terrain that was profoundly spiritual. His art and his life have remained complicated, and provide the subtext of his creative and everyday existence - his painting reflects his view that all aspects of life are essentially interrelated. In more recent years Milgate has worked as a university professor as well as continuing with his painting, but he also made a living in earlier times as a nightclub singer, as a television newsreader and as an actor. He is also a poet and playwright. Milgate has won the Blake Prize for Religious Art three times and has held more than 40 solo exhibitions. This work studies Rod Milgate's artistic influences and achievements, and summarizes the career so far of one of Australia's most respected painters.
