SUMMARY:Of Brushes and Light
DESCRIPTION:Of Brushes and Light celebrates the evolution of Impressionism in Australia in the late nineteenth century\, and the impact the en plein air movement had on the portrayal of the Australian landscape. During this extraordinary period of change and independence\, artists discarded conservative customs and embraced the greater freedom of a more bohemian life and outlook.  Liberated from academic and formal traditions\, they created artistic communities\, camps and societies that were brimming with camaraderie\, comradeship and irreverence. Artworks created during this time form a cornerstone of art history in Australia today\, influencing the generations of artists that followed\, and were pivotal in recognizing the extraordinary quality of light\, colour and air of Australian landscape. \nThis exhibition explores iconic artworks collected by Howard Hinton from this period and draws out the extraordinary beauty of many artists less well known from this time. \nImage: Walter Withers\, On the Beach\, (c.1902)\, oil on wood\, Gift of Howard Hinton 1939\n  \n
