Robert Jacks - The Artist's Journey

Robert Jacks is recognised as one of Australia's most significant abstract artists.

I have always worked by simplifying and eliminating. I try to draw to a point where there is nothing more I can take out of a painting and then I start adding until they become overly full.

In the 1960s, Robert Jacks was determined to live and work in New York, this film explores that journey and the journey home again. Back in contemporary Melbourne, join Robert Jacks and Anna Schwartz as they set up the exhibition Never Ending Project at Anna Schwartz's Gallery.

'My art has become radical and minimal.'
