Early in 2018 Robert Ingpen completed a mural which is now donated by him to the National Library of Australia under the Cultural Arts Program of Australia. The large painting depicts a bookcase without any books. The shelves are filled with characters from classical stories who, through the imagination of the illustrator, are borrowed from the pages of books where they traditionally belong. Robert Ingpen was filmed and recorded while creating this mural. The result will soon be available as an on-line ‘Masterclass’ in storybook art and theory.
