Brett Whiteley - Art, Life and The Other Thing |
|
This
self portrait by Brett Whiteley has three major elements.
The baboon is a reference to his addiction to drugs,
the central portrait refers to the struggles of portrait
painting and the Joshua Smith painting by William Dobell,
and the photo is an actual picture of what the artist
physically looks like.
