Carcase in Swamp 1955

"Carcase in Swamp" is a 1955 painting by Australian artist Sidney Nolan. The painting depicts a surreal landscape with a large, decaying fish carcass emerging from a swamp. The distorted forms and muted colours create a sense of unease and decay, reflecting Nolan's exploration of themes of death and decay in the Australian outback. The work is characteristic of Nolan's artistic style, which often featured stark imagery and bold brushstrokes to evoke a sense of psychological intensity. This artwork is a testament to Nolan's artistic vision and his ability to capture the harsh realities of Australian life.
