James Egan (born 1929) is an Australian artist. His work has featured in exhibitions around the world and he still is painting from his studio near Ballarat, Victoria today. Egan was born in Melbourne Australia. From the age of 14 to the age of 19, James worked as a boxer and came into a contact with an Englishman on the run from the law. This Englishman, name unknown, taught James how to draw and the arts in general as he himself had previously learnt at the Slade Art School in London. Egan's inspiration has come from many interesting places including the Australian outback and bush land to the third world countries of Mexico and Cambodia as well as some of the poorest areas of Spain, England and the United States. In 1986 the state of Victoria recognized Egan's contribution to the art work deeming him a ''Living treasure in Perpetuity''. == Collections == His work has been displayed in many notable exhibitions such as: *The Prince of Wales collection at Buckingham Palace *San Francisco Airport *World Trade Center *Moscow Parliament Collection 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Egan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
