Notice on death of Jan Senbergs

   

The artist, Jan Senbergs, who created the Constitutional Wall Mural and the States Wall Mural which hang in the Great Hall of the High Court building in Canberra has died. He was a great Australian artist who came to Australia in 1950. The works he created for the High Court building are an enduring reminder of his talent and skill but also the themes, both historical and aspirational, which those works depict.
