Elders: The Old Magic

Elders: The Old Magic

Vol 26 no 4


A group of art practitioners, artists, curators and writers, in their seventh and eighth decades are the subject of our focus.

The issue of creativity and how it sometimes becomes enhanced in old age, and questions around how we regard our elders, are canvassed. The extreme youth orientation of society today does not always appreciate the value of a fifty year practice.
