About The Strapper Painting
This work
was painted just a couple of years before the "Portrait of an Artist"
painting that won the Archibald Prize.
The Australian surrealist 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
