Image description

African Head (1963) is one of the richest figural works from Sidney Nolan’s unique African Journey series. The pillared hat sweeps to the sky, while the tattered shirt is reminiscent of the robes of Bacon’s ‘Popes’ and the sinews from Nolan’s carcasses of the 1950’s – a tribute to Rimbaud’s descriptions of the poor - “Betail de la misere” (poverty’s cattle).
