Alfred Munnings
Artwork Detail
Shrimp the stable-hand (whose real name was Fountain Page) is riding Augereau, the artist’s favourite pony. The work is a study for The Coming Storm (Art Gallery of New South Wales). Laura Knight, a life-long friend, said of Munnings, ‘His extraordinary vitality, his joy in his work – none of us could forget him. He was a fighter. He fought the wind that shivered his easel and canvas. He fought the heat and the cold. He fought the shifting sun and the changing shadows’. (20th Century Modern, 2003)
