Nolan's Gallipoli (1983) By Gavin Fry
 
Sidney Nolan describes Gallipoli as "the great modern Australian legend, the nearest thing to a deeply felt common religious experience shared by Australians - even today". In this major series of paintings Nolan has combined the historic source material with his own highly expressive imagery, creating a penetrating comment on the familiar account. He chose to depict a number of small elements and develop them as themes - the head of a soldier, the single drowned figure, the uninhabited landscape, the soldiers swimming and playing on the beach, and others. Numerous color plates within.
