From the mid 1950s until his death in 1997, Elwyn Lynn was a remarkable figure in the Sydney Art World. Over these four decades, he held an astonishing number of influential positions: President of the Contemporary Art Society, author, chairman of the Visual Arts Board, art critic for The Australian and The Bulletin, Editor of Quadrant, and Curator of the Power Gallery of Contemporary Art at the University of Sydney (which later became the basis for the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art). He also established a considerable reputation as a painter dealing with expressive and evocative textures. As a painter, he received a number of significant awards, including the Blake Prize for religious art, the Wynne Prize for landscape painting, and the prestigious Emeritus Award which was awarded by the Australia Council.
