john brack -lrb- 10 may 1920 -- 11 february 1999 -rrb- was an australian painter , and a member of the antipodeans group .
according to one critic , brack 's early works captured the idiosyncrasies of their time `` more powerfully and succinctly than any australian artist before or since .
brack forged the iconography of a decade on canvas as sharply as barry humphries did on stage . ''
