Kenneth Jack Kenneth Jack was born in 1924 and became an Australian watercolour artist who specialised in painting the images of an almost forgotten outback life; old mine workings, abandoned ghost towns, decaying farm buildings, and paddle steamers operating on the River Murray. He became a professional painter at the age of 39 after giving up his job as senior instructor at the Caulfied Institute of Technology. In 1977 he was elected to The Royal Watercolour Society and in 1982 was awarded the MBE, and the Order of Australia (AM) followed in 1987. He continued working right up to his death in 2006, following a long struggle with cancer. For sale is a signed 1982 coloured lithograph (A/P) entitled Murray Paddle Steamer (actually PS Gem), measuring 38 x 67 cms. The sale price is $600. |
