The Max Gimblett Gift. Gift of the artist through the Queensland Art Gallery Foundation 2000

The skull motif comes from the painting of Japanese Zen monk, Sengai Gibon. In 1982, Max Gimblett made his first visit to the Idemitsu Museum in Japan and, as a consequence, Sengai became the chief exemplar for Gimblett's calligraphic work. The cranium is based on a skull Gimblett acquired in Amsterdam.
