Gift of the artist
The collection of the Jewish Holocaust Centre (the following painting is being auctioned to raise funds for the above)

Artist's statement:
"These images are the result of when I was a teenager seeing concentration camp newsreels at the old Wynward Newsreel Theatre, Sydney, in 1945-46. Secondly they arise from having lived in Bucharest for 4 years from 1951-55, where at the art institute I was befriended not only by Romanians who had terrible stories to recount - but also by Jewish Romanians and Hungarians, who had somehow survived the horrors of the Fascist Iron Guards."

Autumn: 'The time of ripe fruit, of harvesting the benefits of labour, of falling leaves, of the casting of seed - an inverted human figure, castrated, swaying in the wind.'
