Albert Tucker Animal Prints
Albert Tucker was an Australian artist born in 1914. Tucker left school at 14 to help support his family and had no formal art training, but obtained work as a house painter, cartoonist and commercial illustrator in an advertising agency before joining the commercial artist John Vickery. For seven years, he attended the Victorian Artists Society's evening life drawing class three nights a week. Tucker's main inspirations include Post-Impressionists, Expressionists and Social Realists, as well as personal experience. Tucker's work was strongly influenced by the realistic reflections of two important émigré artists, Josl Bergner and Danila Vassilieff, who arrived in Melbourne in the late 1930s about the same time that Tucker began to explore images of the Great Depression.
Tucker's first significant works were produced during his involvement in the army. In 1940, Tucker was called up for army service and spent most of his time working in Heidelberg Military Hospital drawing patients suffering from wounds and mental illnesses as a result of war. He produced three important works at this stage, "Man at Table," a pen and ink illustration of a man whose nose had been sliced off by a shell fragment, "The Waste Land," an image of death sitting on a stool watching and waiting, and "Floating Figures," of two figures floating down a hall, a third with a demented smile. All of these images illustrated the horror and madness of war, but in a style reflecting his Social Realist's Surrealistic and Expressionistic style. He later married and had a son before his death in 1999.
