An Interview With Jenny Hall About Australian Artist Brett Whiteley

Brett Whiteley is arguably Australia's most original artist. Though no longer alive - his studio - based in the Surrey Hills, Sydney is a wonderful place to see, explore and absorb! Towards the end of the 90's I got the chance to speak to Jenny Hall about Brett, his artistic life/work and his love of music. Bob Dylan held a press conference in the same building (1986) and Dire Straits used a small portion of Brett's painting 'Alchemy' for the cover of a double live album. This interview is interwoven with music from some of the songwriters Brett most admired. For more information see http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/brett-whiteley-studio/
