Durack, Elizabeth

Durack, Elizabeth
▪ 2001

      Australian painter (b. July 6, 1915, Perth, Australia—d. May 25, 2000, Perth), created oil paintings using Aboriginal themes, a variety of artistic techniques, and natural materials and drew international applause beginning in the 1960s. In the 1990s many of her paintings were shown as authentic Aboriginal art created by a young man named Eddie Burrup, but she was caught up in a national furor in 1997 when her professional alter ego was revealed at her request. Durack defended her use of Burrup as an artistic persona, a stand supported by many in the Aboriginal community. She was appointed OBE in 1966 and CMG in 1982.
