Catalogue:
A comprehensive catalogue (by David
Hansen, Senior Curator of Art at the Tasmanian Museum and
Art Gallery) will accompany the exhibition.
A major resource for study and enjoyment,
it is beautifully designed and presented, with full colour
illustrations. It includes a thorough and accessible account
of the artist’s life and work and specialist essays
by leading scholars (on Glover’s Australian landscapes,
his representation of Aborigines, his painting materials
and methods, his sketchbooks and his prints), as well as
detailed notes on individual works and an extensive bibliography.
Senior Secondary students will find
the catalogue invaluable for in-depth study of particular
aspects of Glover’s work.
