Lin van Hek

Coming Soon !! New Work in 2023

Artist: Lin van Hek
photographed by Gordon De'Lisle

In the 1960s, Australian photographer Gordon De’Lisle did a series of photographic portraits of painter and writer, Lin van Hek, when she was still in her teens. Many of these beautiful photos appeared in his book, Of Woman Love and Beauty (Joey Books, 1970). Others were auctioned, after De’Lisle passed away, by Leonard Joel, in Prahran, Victoria.

Lin’s name has never appeared on any of the photos and this is the first time they have all been collected in one place to celebrate this unique collaboration between two extraordinary artists.
