Art as Therapy Kids / Australian Gordon Bennett: Be Polite follows

Gordon Bennett: Be Polite follows the exhibition of largely unseen works on paper by one of Australia’s most visionary and critical artists

but also helps to shape and form artistic ability and confidence

others unfamiliar - from the Renaissance to the present day

and vegetables - are simple and elegant

as well as his constant attention to the junctures between Indigenous and non-Indigenous subjectives

Art as Therapy Kids / Australian Gordon Bennett: Be Polite followsThe conventional framework of art history, which tells us when, where and by whom an artwork was made, does little to make the case for why art is so important. Passionate, thought provoking, often funny and always accessible, this book reframes art as a therapeutic medium that can guide, console and exhort us, and along the way, help us to understand both art and ourselves better.
