New House is a 1953 painting by Australian artist John Brack. The painting depicts a man and a woman standing in front of their fireplace in a room.
The work "includes a sense of flatness, manifested by Brack's fine paint applications, emphasizing clean and sparse quality of the room."
In New house , Brack boldly answered the question of what Australian art could be in the 1950s.... The painting was aggressively shared with the two most obvious choices at the time; epic, folkloric figuration and cosmopolitan abstractions. Dangers and explorers are being replaced by new pioneers, young home-buyers in the suburbs
Previously part of the Grundy collection, the New South Wales Art Gallery gained employment in 2013 for A $ 1.6 million.
