Some thoughts by Brett Whiteley from the lovely little drawing retrospective of his at the AGNSW which shows that apart from being an accomplished draftsman, he also had a sense of humour.
I think the saddest drawing in the show was an interior of his blues point home that included his arm with a needle in his vein. Tragic that a man can have so much and yet be in so much pain. Great show though and a testament to his creativity and skill.
