As part of the december 2015 series of the Culture Club Arts Talk at the Sydney Opera House, Caroline Baum was speaking to visual artist John Olsen. The talk took place infront of his mural “My Salute To Five Bells” in the Concert Hall Northern Foyer, which was commissioned by Danish architect Jørn Utzon.
The living treasure spoke about the mural and his inspiration for it which he got from Kenneth Slessor’s poem “Five Bells”, his ongoing art practice and his respect for the Sydney Harbour.
