Arguably the most monumental of Australian artists, Leonard French experienced extraordinary fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Some of French’s most available work still commands the respect and awe of the public: none more so than his glass ceiling of the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria, but also the windows of the National Library of Australia, the Regeneration mural in the hall of Canberra’s University House, and the Blackwood Hall windows at Monash University.
