I stumbled on the news that Australian artist Robert Juniper had died just before Christmas on the 21st December 2012. Being a Western Australian artist we unfortunately didn’t get to see much of his work over this side of the island.
I was saddened and wanted to share my admiration of his work. I had blogged about him previously in “No, He’s Not the Black Wiggle.”
I copied this work from Australian Painting Today an old and treasured book and it taught me a lot in early painting days about colour. My teacher had commented, “Robert Juniper, we all love Robert Juniper at some stage…”
Paint later, a painter's blog. 
Looks like he was rather brilliant! 🙂
These pieces are extroidinary.
really beautiful
I just went back to that Brett Whitely painting and the early Guston’s. I like both and enjoyed the review. Thanks Carla
Sad news – he was a terrific artist, and like you say, because he was a West Australian, I had never heard of him until I moved to Perth in 2004.
I love some of the block buster exhibitions but how fabulous it would be if we filled the galleries looking at Australian artists. Cheers Sue
