The Penguin Men

'The Angry Penguins' was a modernist literary and artistic movement that sought to shake up the entrenched art establishment of Australia in the 1940s. The movement was run by a group of passionate and 'angry' young men - the rebels of their day. Centred around poet Max Harris, the movement took their name from an art and literary magazine first published by Harris in 1940.

The Angry Penguins, to quote Max Harris, expressed 'a noisy and aggressive revolutionary modernism' and represented the new language and the new painting of Australia. They were forthright and unapologetic, 'demanding' to be heard and seen.

The Penguin Men are continuing the Angry Penguins work through this drum and bass collaboration.
