In Australia he was part of the circle of artists concerned with social conditions, known as the Angry Penguins, the group included, Joy Hester, Sidney Nolan and Arthur Boyd among others. His international career took off when the Guggenheim Museum purchased some of his work and the Museum of Modern Art in New York mounted an exhibition.
