A new exhibition is on at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, from Saturday 14th August to Sunday 14th November, 9am to 5pm daily. Entry is free. The Exhibition will travel to the South Australian Museum in 2022.
The exhibition looks at the life of George French Angas and his works. He was a painter, a naturalist, poet and explorer, and the Museum holds many examples of his work in its collection. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the South Australian Museum, and features works from national and state cultural institutions, as well as private collections.
Angas was 21 when he came to the Antipodes, and is a child of the colonial enterprise. It is said that his meticulous and sensitive portfolio transports us to the moment of his encounters with its people and landscapes.
