Brett Whiteley

Story

Synopsis

This short film by Frank Eidlitz shows a snippet of Australian artist Brett Whiteley at home with his wife Wendy and daughter Arkie. It was likely filmed in late 1966 or early 1967, before the Whiteleys moved to New York in late 1967. The film shows the artist and his family at home in the evening, reading the newspaper and watching television. Whiteley’s paintings line the walls of the living space, including ‘Fidgeting with Infinity’ (1966), a large triptych painting that dominates the space.
