James Gleeson Biography

(b Sydney, 21 Nov 1915). Australian painter, writer, critic and administrator. He studied at the East Sydney Technical College from 1934 to 1936 and was represented in the first Contemporary Art Society exhibition in 1938. Gleeson is widely regarded as Australia’s leading Surrealist, often compared in style to Dalí. His work is frequently described as macabre, threatening and erotic, and his forms range from the recognizable to indeterminate imagery from the darker depths of the mind, as in the Siamese Moon (1951; Melbourne, Joseph Brown Gal.). Gleeson is highly praised for his superb brushwork and use of colours and textures. Apart from painting, he produced drawings, watercolours, pastels and collages. He wrote numerous books on Australian art and monographs on William Dobell and Robert Klippel.
