OTHER NOTES:
"Aldinga dates from an important phase of experimentation with abstraction though screen printing, which Chapman took up following retirement from teaching in 1969. Its distinctive palette evokes the opalescent clarity of light at this small settlement near the coast, south of Adelaide." (Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney)
Other impressions of this print are currently held in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide.
