Not just Scottish generated or centred work but a range of artwork from those Galleries. It is a wide ranging exhibition with landscapes, portraits and sketches. Something for everyone.
The exhibition is spread over seven rooms;
My personal favourite is this portrait of Lady Agnew of Lochnaw by John Singer Sargent which seems to me to be both periodic and contemporary in its appearance and style;
It is a nice painting. It almost looks like her head has been photo shopped onto the work.
ReplyDeleteI should have taken a close up photo. It is a common failing of my photography; I don't get close enough.
DeleteThis looks good. Thanks for the tip. Will check out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in your thoughts.

ReplyDeleteThere was quite a variety of art on display Gosia.
DeleteGood to see a lot of visitors in your shot. For one of Australia's most visited cities, NSW really needs to invest more into making the AGNSW a real showcase in Sydney, especially for Australian art.
ReplyDeleteI noticed there was a display of what appears to be planned extensions to the Gallery. I don't know the status of those plans.
DeleteI was introduced to Sargent in the late 90s at a special exhibition in Washington, DC, and was enthralled.
