Love this description of John Olsen painting Lake EYRE IN 1977 From a book " Secret Australia" BY KEN TAYLOR
Surely the filling and emptying of this enormous body of water will continue to bewitch, poets, artists and travellers for all time.
"Beneath that sun
he could paint the dry rivers and
occasional waterholes,
flick across the membrane of the earth,
( thin, drawn as rabbit gut)
colours matched to the memory of a Ming Dynasty vase
( a light blue, white and brown)
search for seeds and speckled eggs
and other patterns so long hidden,
On the needless, thick papered surface
of that salt flat
and faded
place."
