ABOUT THE ARTIST
Australian artist Thomas Balfour Garrett (1879-1952) began his art career after becoming disenchanted with his work as a minister of religion in Melbourne for what he perceived as the institutionalization of the church. Moving to Sydney to pursue his painting practice, he exhibited for the first time in 1929 at the age of fifty to receive wide recognition for his lyrical, romantic landscapes. Garrett continued to show regularly in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide and became well known for his painterly, atmospheric monotype prints.
The monotype medium employs the technique of painting on a glass or metal plate and applying the painted matrix onto paper. Garrett refined the method to his exacting standards, regularly adding oil paints to the watercolor or ink conventionally used in monotypes to achieve the qualities of depth and light for which his finely nuanced prints were acclaimed.
Garrett remained loyal to his romantic impressionist vision throughout the 1930s and 1940s despite the development of modernist genres in Australia. His work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of South Australia, and the National Gallery of Victoria.
