CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS by
RICHARD BAXTER
The figures here are from the 50's, usually seen as a time of prosperity
and unbridled optimism in the US and Australia, but also a time of naivety
and imperialism. This trio, happily participating in such a time and place are
suddenly beckoned by a challenge emanating from an unknown source. Perhaps
this is the double helix of genetics forever altering the comfort of what they think they
know. Will they climb it, continue their Sunday stroll or shoot it down?
