Friends of LWAG Lecture Series: Australian Landscape Then & Now (CANCELLED) (expired event)

Join the Friends of LWAG group for their 3-part lecture series on Australian landscapes.

The Friends of Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery present the next theme in their Art History Lecture Series: ‘Australian Landscape Then and Now’. Presented by Carl Altmann, this new series will look at numerous different aspects of landscape paintings from the late nineteenth to the twentieth century. Refreshments are provided.
Many artists have struggled to depict the Australian landscape. Some, like Arthur Streeton, have portrayed a picture-perfect view of rolling hills and verdant valleys while others, like Russell Drysdale, have shown the harshness of the climate. In more recent years, artists have endeavoured to portray their personal and political thoughts on the country
