Frank Hinder was a pioneer of abstraction in Australia, driven, in his work, to make modern philosophy and science visible. The artwork of Frank and his wife Margel Hinder has been recognised for the conceptual link it provides between the emergence of abstraction in Sydney in the 1930s and the development of Abstract Expressionism that became prominent in the late 1950s and 1960s. This artwork compliments over 150 Frank Hinder sketches and paintings in the collection.
