Albert Tucker (artist)

Albert Lee Tucker (29 December 1914 – 23 October 1999), a pivotal Australian artist, was a member of the Heide Circle, a group of leading modernist artists and writers that centred on the art patrons John and Sunday Reed, whose home, "Heide", located in Bulleen, near Heidelberg (outside Melbourne), was a haven for the group. Tucker's major series Images of modern evil (1943–47) depicted prostitutes and soldiers in Melbourne.
