“I saw flowers springing up in Central Australia after they had lain dormant in the sand for twenty years. The pitiless wasteland throws up this extraordinary garden -- like the Paradise Gardens of the Islamic peoples. Like Milton, I would like to inhabit Paradise.” – Sidney Nolan
Nolan’s experience of the Australian outback blooming with wildflowers was the inspiration for numerous floral-themed works, including the huge multi-panelled paintings Flowers (1968) and Wildflowers (1970), as well as Paradise Garden, images from which were reproduced with accompanying poems by Nolan, in his artist book, also titled Paradise Garden, published in London in 1971.
An impression of this print is included in the Tate Gallery collection reference PO 4706 presented to the Tate Gallery by Rose and Chris Prater of Kelpra Studios through the Institute of Contemporary Prints in 1975.
