| Summary |
Adrian Feint (1894-1971) was a painter, printmaker, bookplate designer, illustrator, commercial artist and gallery director. In his home city of Sydney, and elsewhere in Australia, he was known as 'a man of unerring taste and colour sense'. Adrian Feint: Cornucopia showcases the range of works of this unjustly neglected artist, focusing especially on his stunning flower paintings and landscapes. |
