Description:
Stunning large oil by the Archibald winning early C20th Australian painter of the Haweksbury.
Artist:
Henry Aloysius Hanke (14 June 1901-1989)
Born in Sydney in 1901, Hanke was an Australian painter and teacher, who won the Archibald Prize in 1934 with a self-portrait, and the inaugural Sulman Prize in 1936 with his painting ‘La Gitana’. He served in the Army during World War II from November 1942, initially as a Signaller and later commissioned as an Officer and war artist from December 1943, during which he completed many paintings in New Guinea. He was the first war artist into Milne Bay after the Australians inflicted the first defeat on Japanese troops during World War II. Hanke was later made a director of the Royal Art Society art school.
