Summary:"Philip Wolfhagen is prominent among a new generation of artists reinventing the traditions of Australian landscape painting. Drawing on a surprisingly wide range of predecessors from Cézanne to the convict painter William Buelow Gould Wolfhagen skilfully evokes the bleak, romantic beauty of the Tasmanian high plains, an environment that he has known since childhood and has come to love. Through all his work run the themes of human responsibilities to the natural world; memory and forgetfulness; change and continuity; and the relentless passages of time. His paintings reward careful examination, suggesting much about how we might respond to the idea of nature in the twenty-first century." -- Publisher's website
