Abstract

This is the first major survey of John Glover for almost a quarter of a century. The exhibition draws on public and private collections in Australia and overseas and incorporates a number of rediscovered pictures which have come to light in recent years. The exhibition addresses a range of issues including Glover’s early career and reputation in England; his representations of the Australian landscape and its Indigenous inhabitants; his painting technique and style; and questions of attribution. John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque is a Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Art Exhibitions Australia Touring Exhibition. [Gallery media, 2004].
