Different Places
•Artists have travelled the globe to seek out new places to draw and paint. The fascination in other cultures, their art, their buildings, their dress and their way of life have been a source of inspiration.
•Artist Paul Gauguin left France in 1891 and sailed to the tropics to paint. His style of painting, using bold experimental colour and a certain primitivism, was not well accepted back in Europe where painting followed certain conventional traditions.
•Many Australian artists in the 19th century left Australia to travel overseas to exotic places and to Europe to seek new inspiration and learn new ways of painting. Artists such as Lionel Lindsay, Arthur Streeton and Emanuel Phillips Fox are all Australian artists who have painted different places overseas.
•Artists who travel to different places often see those places differently than those who live there. They notice things that perhaps those who see it every day don’t.
•Different places offer artists not only new subject matters but also the opportunity to take risks and experiment with colours, techniques that capture a different light and landscape.
