Getting to Nolan you

Tim Ross: Constant

Published 27 November 2020
36 minutes

Constant, presented by Tim Ross in partnership with the National Gallery of Australia, is an experimental digital exhibition highlighting the formative power of art, exploring its role as a silent influencer and sometimes unacknowledged yet constant presence in our lives.

Getting to know Sidney Nolan was a fascinating project for Sally Aitken, the award-winning director behind the ABC documentary Nolan. Sally talks about the incredible insight she uncovered during her deep dive into the life of the acclaimed Australian painter.
