The arrangement of shapes and the distribution of color define the visual structure of the piece.

Artist Biography
The Life and Artistic Journey of John Passmore
Born in Redfern, Australia, John Richard Passmore began his professional life as a signwriter's assistant after leaving school at thirteen. He pursued formal training at the Julian Ashton Art School, where he studied alongside Jean Bellette and Paul Haefliger. Seeking further education, he traveled to England to study at the Westminster School of Art under Bernard Meninsky and Mark Gertler. During his time in England, which included service as a conscript in the Royal Air Force, he worked as a layout artist with Lintas. While staying in a cottage in Suffolk, he produced landscape compositions that were strongly influenced by Paul Cézanne.
Upon returning to Australia in 1951, Passmore became a significant educator, teaching at the Julian Ashton School, the Newcastle Technical College, and the East Sydney Technical College. His teaching philosophy encouraged students to view subjects through a lens of mathematical shapes, facets, and a connection of rods, emphasizing tone and structure. His own body of work occupied a space between expressionism and abstraction.
Legacy and Final Years
Passmore's later years were marked by a period of reclusive painting following a heart attack in the early 1960s. His final weeks were spent in a home for the destitute near his birthplace. In a notable turn regarding his estate, Passmore left his collection of 270 paintings to an acquaintance, Elinor Wrobel, while his son was left £70,000. This bequest was subject to an out-of-court settlement, after which Wrobel retained control of the estate, eventually leading to the opening of a museum displaying over forty of his works.
His artistic legacy is preserved in several major institutions, including:
