An artist, who also served on the board of the National Gallery of Australia, was a truly original painter. By the 60’s, many of his paintings had homoerotic undertones, something which reflected on Gleeson's own homosexuality. Here he uses the Greek myth of Icarus, to explore his interest in homoeroticism.
