Michael Leunig 'Untitled (I can't sleep...)' fantastical

Michael Leunig 'Untitled (I can't sleep...)' fantasticalFor more than fifty years, Michael Leunig gently and brilliantly skewered the absurdities of everyday life. Now, as one of Australias most cherished and quietly missed voices, his work feels more luminous than ever. A domestic scene, this petite 5 5 cm original image is small in scale but full of heart, insight and that unmistakable Leunig spirit. For admirers of Leunig and collectors of works on paper, Untitled (I can't sleep) is a captivating find.
