Robert Dickerson: Against the Tide

Produced by Afterglow Film

From an impoverished background in Depression-era Sydney, Robert Dickerson became renowned and revered as one of Australia’s most significant figurative painters. MAG&M worked closely with the family of Robert Dickerson to produce the 2018 exhibition Against the Tide, which featured a unique selection of Dickerson’s works from private collections. This short film gives rare insight into the character of Dickerson and the extensive legacy of his art.
