wow factor

Today we visited Turner to Monet.

Five rooms featuring works by the great landscape artists of the 19th century.
The experience left me calm, surprised, inspired and enriched.

Constable, Roberts, Streeton, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Pissarro, Turner and many others...

Congratulations NGA

This weekend I'm visiting the Turner to Monet exhibition.

The following will no doubt effect my appreciation.....

Warhol exhibition to open in Brisbane - ABC News

An exhibition of work by pop art icon Andy Warhol opens at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Brisbane on Saturday, in Australia’s first major retrospective of his work.

The exhibition marks 20 years since the artist’s death in 1987 and brings together more than 300 works from the 1950s on, including Warhol paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, photographs and films.

Brisbane has come a long way. A Warhol would have been burnt during the “white shoe brigade” days.
