Michael Leunig

Below you can find a selection of hand signed, fine art limited editions by Michael Leunig, from work that features in a landmark collection of Michael Leunig artwork, Holy Fool published by Allen and Unwin 2013.

A couple of salient quotes from Michael's essay in Holy Fool about his enduring central protagonist and pointing style in general.

 "A peculiar central character has inhabited my drawings and paintings for as long as I care to remember…Only in recent times have I come to realise that what I have been so constantly depicting is the world of the holy fool: the people, the creatures, the circumstances and the peculiar ecosystem of the spirit. If you yearn for something you may end up creating it."

"The most joyous painting is not done for the art world, it is done for the inner world; it is a self delighting other-worldly thing—a getting lost in regression and solitude, a subliterate, semidelirious way to be with the spirited little fool in the depths of one’s being for a while—there to invent one’s art freely, and there to find enchantment, infinite surprise and the bright wondrous question, ‘What is this?’"
