John Olsen 'Mouse and Gorgonzola' italian artists The diverse colours and texturesMouse and Gorgonzola sparkles with humour. Legend of Australian art, John Olsen, turns his formidable talent to capturing a mouse and his Italian blue cheese. It is a tale as old as time and under the artists hand, captured with a tail as long as a road. Whether the dynamism of the Australian landscape or a mouses lactic love, Olsen injects his work with personality and optimism, treating all creatures great and small with the same degree of delight.
