Rupert Bunny - Artist in Paris - Exhibitions and Shows
Rupert Bunny (1864-1947), was one of the most successful expatriate artists of his generation: no other Australian achieved the critical acclaim, or enjoyed the artistic affiliations which Bunny experienced in Paris in decades around the turn of the century. He has been called, with some justification, “the Australian Renoir”.
Bunny’s paintings range from large mythologies and narratives, to religious works, portraits, landscapes, fabulously coloured decorative allegories and the Belle Epoque paintings of Parisian women at leisure for which he is most widely known.
He was a consummate draughtsman of the human figure. His great power of composition on a large scale, and his passionate interest in the play of light on fabrics was commensurate with the practice of French painting at that time. Urbane, civilized, well read and very well connected, Bunny was also the epitome of the late 19th century cosmopolitan.
