Ron Harbeck 'Where Crimson Parrots Call' Printmaking at the crest of historyRon Harbecks work is dreamlike. Washed in pastel light, he envisions a grand tree the home of possums, lizards, spiders, koalas, bees and birds. Also, its Where the Crimson Parrot Call. This tree fills the frame, its lace like branches a lifeforce for many. Like a portrait of a human, Harbeck treats his subject as a worthy subject. Harbeck is an accomplished printmaker. An edition of this work is represented at the National Gallery of Australia,
