Coburn : John Coburn, paintings

Amadio, Nadine1988
Books, Manuscripts
As a painter, James Coburn has refined and intensified a unique personal language of symbols for his work. Within his immediately recognizable and highly individual form of abstract expressionism he has developed a compressed emotional power reminiscent of Mark Rothko. Acknowledged as a leading painter and an elder statesman in the Australian arts, Queensland-born John Coburn is represented in all Australian State galleries and many overseas collections, including the Vatican Museum. He has also achieved international recognition for his magnificent Sydney Opera House Curtains of the Sun and Moon and his Seven Days of Creation tapestries hanging in the Kennedy Centre, Washington.
