Join SWIC on a Private Guided Tour of the first Streeton exhibition in 25 years. This is a landmark exhibition of works by Australia’s iconic Impressionist painter, Arthur Streeton, whose brilliant evocations of light, land and sea captured the spirit and optimism of Australia.
AGNSW Director, Dr Michael Brand has described this expansive exhibition as follows: ‘Streeton’s poetic and technically brilliant impressionist paintings were made during vivid periods of joy and periods of duress: from abundance and economic boom to drought, bushfire and war. This exhibition is the most significant retrospective of Streeton’s work ever held. These timeless works have enduring relevance as we navigate the extraordinary events of our own time.’
Featuring more than 150 paintings, drawings and watercolours from 42 public and private collections, some not exhibited publicly for more than 100 years, Streeton is an in-depth survey of the artist’s unique contribution to Australian art from the 1880s to the 1940s.
