Veil - Nurse's
This nurses veil is preventative of what was part of nurses uniforms in the mid 1900's.

Painting, Robert Klein-Boonschate, Departure 7, 2003
Finalist Robert Klein-Boonschate in the ANL Maritime Art Prize 2003 Biography: (https://www.artpartners.com.au/robert-kleinboonschate/) Born in The Netherlands, Robert migrated to Tallangatta, Australia with his family in 1971. Robert completed a degree in Graphic Art at Swinburne College and settled into Melbourne for the next seven years as a professional artist and art facilitator. Robert moved to Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the 1980’s where he worked closely with Arrernte Peoples for the next 12 years. Robert’s beautiful landscapes reflect the influence of Arrernte artist Albert Namatjira and his love of the Australian landscape reflects his experiences with the Arrernte Peoples and their connection to ‘Country’. Robert opened the art studio located at his home in Alice Springs to Arrernte, Luritja, Warlpiri & Pintupi artists and worked alongside such artists as Johnny Warrangkula Tjupurrula. Robert helped to facilitate Johnny’s later body of work by constructing special brushes which could be used by Johnny after breaking his wrist. Robert has returned to NSW and now lives in Walla Walla surrounded by the rugged natural landscapes of Australia.Large scale Oil on Belgian Linen depicting dockside and ships.docks, waterside, maritime art, robert klein-boonschate, artwork-paintings, maritime art prize, anl -
