Sir Sidney Robert Nolan (April 22, 1917 - 28
November, 1992) was one of Australia's most
well-known painters.

Nolan was born in Melbourne and attended the
National Gallery Art School. He was close friend
with the arts patrons John and Sunday Reed. He
later studied at the Atelier 17, Paris, under the
famous S. W. Hayter.

Nolan painted a wide range of personal
interpretations of historical and legendary
figues, including explorers Burke and Wills, and
Eliza Fraser.
Probably his most famous work is a series of
stylised depictions of the bushranger Ned Kelly in
the Australian Outback. 

In 1950 Nolan moved to London, England, where he
lived until his death.
Nolan is less well known for his skilled
theatrical set designs and book illustrations.
