Sidney Nolan captured the spirit of Australia with his iconic series of paintings done in house enamel on composition board. His subject was the outback landscape of a raw and untamed country. The Ned Kelly paintings were narratives illustrating the life of an outlaw/poet. They became symbols of the Aussie myth that is still prevalent today.
