A Day At The Races

Ivan Durrant has certainly attracted his fair share of controversy over the years but he is a wonderful painter of characters.  Back in the days when I had REALLY nothing better to do, I would occasionally go to the races ( if I could get access to a members guest ticket) and these were the characters I would see in the crowd.  The disdain of the rich was evident everywhere I looked.

This painting was included in an exhibition called "A Day At The Caulfield Races" staged at the Caulfield Arts Complex in 1994.
