Literature & references:
Graeme Sturgeon, Michael Shannon, Painting and the Poetry of Daily Life, Craftsman House, 1990, see p. 44;
Elwyn Lynn, From Sublime to Ridiculous, the Weekend Australian, 17-18 September 1988, p. 12, for the review of the exhibition:
Michael Shannon's exhibition of landscapes places him in the front rank of our most consistently penetrating landscape painters .... [the] modest master whose genius emerges quietly,
See also p.43 for Gary Catalano's comments of the 1985 exhibition at Powell Street Galleries: One of the most interesting things about these paintings is the nimble and unforced way in which they reconcile two sharply differing intentions, for they provide us with records of the landscape .... and simultaneously invest these records with symbolic resonance. Put simply, Shannon's paintings are meditations on the continuance of life.
