of Women About the Helena Rubinstein Painting William
Dobell was just as comfortable painting in broad, expressive brush strokes as
he was with tighter, more constrained brush strokes. The Australian artist and
writer James Gleeson was quoted as saying.. "One of the astonishing
things about Dobell's portraiture is his ability to adjust his style to the nature
of the personality he is portraying. If the character of his sitter is broad and
generous, he paints broadly and generously. If the character is contained and
inward looking, he uses brush strokes that convey this fact." James Gleeson
