Description
This painting depicts Melbourne based model Darcy in an authentic Australian Army World War II trousers, hat and soldiers belt known as a Sam Browne. He holds a pair of officers boots. Ambiguous to the viewer is whether the model has stripped to swim or dressing after cooling off in his tropical location.
The Hon. Michael Kirby has held many discussions with Ross about the lack of depiction of male nudes in contemporary art. Watson is rare amongst artists, with few painting full frontal male nudes, and with the fineness and sophistication demonstrated in this striking painting.
About Limited Edition Canvases
These are our most collectable editions.
All available Edition Canvases are in an edition of three with two artist's proofs. They are hand-signed and numbered by Ross Watson on the reverse (non-image) side of the canvas. Your preferred edition number to purchase can be selected from the top menu.
An Artist's Proof is the same quality as the editions numbered 1-3, and is the first print produced when colour and quality is perfected. Each canvas is of equal quality and value.
Edition Canvases are printed with archival inks on the world's leading archival canvas: Hahnemühle Daguerre.
Use of glass in framing is optional, eliminating potential of reflections when viewing your canvas.
The sizes provided are the unframed image size. The canvases are printed with a generous white border and we recommend they be placed on a wooden stretcher before adding a decorative frame.
