Boissevain, William

William Boissevain was a prominent Australian painter, widely admired for his versatility across various genres — from still life and landscapes to figurative works and portraits. Boissevain was celebrated for his exceptional draughtsmanship, keen eye for design, and masterful use of colour. His contribution to Australian art was significant. His work is held in numerous public and private collections across the country, and in 1978 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to art — a fitting recognition for a truly dedicated and distinguished artist.
