Culture for Matt
The National Portrait Gallery is putting on a travelling exhibition ( 19 June to 1 Sept ) of portraits of Paul Kelly by artists and rock photographers. Images from 1970s to now.

Yes I have heard it quite exceptional and a great tribute to one of Australia's greatest lyricists. I'll be going along for a squizz.

Re: Culture for Matt
G'day Neville,
One of my daughters gave me a book of Paul Kelly's poems for Christmas. After liking his lyrics and recorded music, I was rather disappointed in the poetry. Mostly free verse and all very short. I guess it was too 'hi brow' for my brain.

I am afraid Paul Kelly is an acquired taste, Zondrae. To me he always sounds like a bloke with great ideas for songs but just doesn't get there technically. I have tried hard to like his work but it always just falls short.

Heather. Neil. I don't know how to do links but if you google " paul kelly and portraits " you should get it. I think it is on at the Mornington Art Gallery Vic. and then other places later.
Matt, I would be happy to do his portrait at the Singleton Art Society, ........ for a modest fee of several thousand, as befitting a cultural icon

Re: Culture for Matt
More than a cultural icon, Nev - he's a marvel is Paul Kelly . . . besides his songwriting brilliance he captained the Sydney Swans for ten years, playing over 200 games, then moved into journalism becoming one of the countries most distinguished political commentators.
