Abstract
George Lambert (1873-1930) was one of Australia’s most brilliant, witty and fascinating artists.
The most comprehensive showing of Lambert's work for over 50 years, this exhibition will present the diverse range of Lambert’s work from his Australian bush subjects to his Edwardian portraits and figure groups, from his sparkling oil sketches to his major battle paintings and large sculpture. It will show the full breadth of Lambert’s approaches to image making and the variety of his handling of pencil, pen and paint. It will demonstrate his sure draughtsmanship and the seductive glamour and sensual appeal of his paint surfaces. [Gallery media, 2007].
