Arthur McIntyre - Collage


Arthur McIntyre (1945 – 2003) was an Australian artist and art critic. He was born in Katoomba, New South Wales.As an artist he primarily worked in the media of collage, drawing and painting. Many of his works were controversial for their sexual content, often utilizing collage elements sourced from pornographic magazines. In 1987 the artist Jan Senbergs awarded McIntyre the acquisitive Gold Coast City Art Gallery Prize for one such painting/collage called "Flesh and Blood" (1987). A less controversial, autobiographical drawing about growing up in the Blue Mountains was awarded the acquisitive Kedumba Art Award by artist James Gleeson in 1992. McIntyre's work is held in many other public collections including most Australian State gallery collections, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the National Gallery of Australia, who has more than 100 of his works. In 1994 Ted Gott curated McIntyre into the groundbreaking group exhibition "Don't Leave Me This Way: Art in the Age of AIDS" at the National Gallery of Australia. Wikipedia
