- John_Coburn abstract "John Coburn (23 September 1925 — 7 November 2006) was an Australian abstract painter, teacher, tapestry designer and printmaker.John Coburn was born in Ingham, Queensland, Australia on 23 September 1925. John moved from town to town with his mother and two younger sisters as his bank manager father went from branch to branch. His father died when the boy was 10.While enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy during World War II he travelled around the Pacific and Indian oceans as a radio operator, drawing images from these places whilst aboard HMAS Nepal, including Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and others.Coburn studied art at East Sydney Technical College in 1947. He finished his four-year training dissatisfied:I'd learned to paint portraits and landscapes and to draw from the human figure ... but at the end I said 'So what; what's it good for?'By 1955–1956 Coburn was starting to find his own style:It's a flat-patterned style of painting, using brilliant colour combinations based on natural or organic images.In 1956 he joined the ABC when television came in, working on set design and art work.Coburn taught art at East Sydney Technical College from 1959–1966 and he later became Head of the National Art School at the College for two years.He won the Blake Prize for Religious Art twice, in 1960 and again in 1977 (shared with Rodney Milgate).All the major galleries in Australia have collected and displayed his works as well as many major private and corporate collections, such as the Cbus Collection of Australian Art [1]. Two of his tapestries hang in the Sydney Opera House and seven hang in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington D.C. His works are also displayed in the Vatican Museum, Rome.".
