Land and Landscape Tasmania: Artists of Tasmania's Midlands ($15.00)
One of the most popular forms of art is landscape painting. However, landscape is more than what we see with our eyes. It is a way of understanding the land, our history and who we are.
The picture cards in this package suggest different ways to look at landscape and the land it describes. The images connect us to particular places, particular times in history and particular times of day. You are invited to travel the roads of the Midlands of Tasmania, taking time to stop and notice what the land knows.
This package contains eleven picture cards of works by artists who have a strong connection to the Midlands - John Glover (1767-1849), Tom Roberts (1856-1931), Bea Maddock (b. 1934), Philip Wolfhagen (b. 1963), Michael McWilliams (b. 1956), Julie Gough (b. 1965).
