Ann Thomson & Contemporaries-NAS

Ann Thomson by Greg Weight

Renowned artist, Ann Thomson in conversation with Dr Margaux Dombkins on Arts. Ann’s exhibition at the National Art School: celebrates the heady times at East Sydney Tech in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a period which produced a significant group of Australian artists including Godfrey Miller, John Passmore, John Olsen, Vivienne Binns, Elisabeth Cummings and Martin Sharp. The National Art School is also going retro and paying tribute to the swinging 60s and the revolutionary spirit of the Beat Generation with NAS nights: The Beat Generation, celebrating the style, music, spontaneous creativity and non-conformist ideologies which defined this bohemian sub-culture in the 1950s and 60s.
