Arts National Cairns Presentation – AUSTRALIAN IMPRESSIONISTS IN FRANCE Presented by Anne Harbers at Stratford Library Meeting Room
From the 1880s, Australian artists joined the many who flocked to the art world of Paris including E. Phillips Fox, John Russell, and G.W. Lambert. How did these artists bring back their experiences to Australia and influence our own familiar Golden Summers paintings of the Australian Impressionist era?
