Description

The all-hands-on Rigby – what you see is what you get. The Genre category is a reference to people’s activities. Where a work is outside the main categories such as portrait or landscape, we show here as miscellaneous.

Description

In his later decades, Rigby showed a significant shift towards colour pieces, revelling in colour for its own sake. If Rigby were to be restricted to being remembered for one thing, it would be as a colourist.

Description

In this small selection of Rigby’s drawings & prints, Rigby weaves his own magic. We note the sadness expressed in the Brisbane Flood – many of us local Brisbane residents recall.
