Description: One of Queensland's greatest living artists, Madonna Staunton has made a major contribution to Australian modernism over the last five decades. Esteemed for her collage and assemblage work -- which is often noted for its complex lineage of Dada, Constructivist, Fluxus and Abstract Expressionist precedents -- Staunton has more recently committed her famed eloquence to figurative painting. Composed with the talents amassed during this long commitment, these late representational works make evident the weighty insights that can come with age and deep reflection. Out of a Clear Blue Sky is beautifully illustrated and the most comprehensive representation of Madonna Staunton's whole career, showcasing her most recent works.
