Day 12 - My favourite Australian Artist of all time.........




Rupert Bunny (1864-1947), was one of the most successful expatriate artists of his generation: indeed no other Australian achieved the critical acclaim nor enjoyed the artistic affiliations which Bunny experienced in Paris in decades around the turn of the century.


When i first viewed his work i was 14 yrs of age, instantly drawn to his work, i have had a strong love for it my whole life. Oh to have an original Rupert Bunny in one's house would mesmerize everyone with it's beauty and we would all sit around on the carpet staring, dreaming and lazily gazing our lives away.......
