Theme: Encounters
Artist: Sidney NOLAN Birth/Death: 1917–1992 Title: Ned Kelly 'Nobody knows anything about my case except myself' Credit Line: Purchased with funds provided by the Friends of the Museum of Modern Art at Heide and the Heide Circle of Donors, 1998. Heide Museum of Modern Art Like Ned Kelly, Sidney Nolan was of Irish descent, and a self-styled rebel.
