Dr. Philippe Lane, chief representative of Alliance Francaise in Australia, opened the
exhibition."

less familiar with these sources, the vanitas still lifes of earlier centuries; as well as such
artists as Hieronymous Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, and Guiseppe Arcimboldo. [...]"

French Surrealist artist draws big crowds
"[...] Gathering together many different elements he composes them as if arranging a cabinet of
curiosities where each object, idea, and sensation is faithfully described and then left suspended
and alienated in the viewer's imagination.[...]"
