Man Ray, in black and whiteThe majority of the 200 works in the Man Ray exhibition comprise vintage photographs made between 1917 and 1939, considered to be Man Ray's most influential and productive period. Some of these works have never been published. The works are drawn from the collection of Lucien Treillard, Man Ray's assistant in the last years of the artist's life, the Musée Nationale d'Arte Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris, the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra and the National Gallery of Victoria. Man Ray is the first large-scale exhibition of Man Ray's photography presented in Australia. One of the most famous and original artists of the 20th century, Man Ray produced iconic photographs: eloquent portraits, dreamy solarised nudes, divine fashion photography and enigmatic images.

Australia's first colonial artistNGV Director, Dr Gerard Vaughan says the John Glover exhibition offers visitors "an exciting journey of discovery". John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque is the most extensive exhibition of Glover's work ever undertaken. Dr Vaughan says that other exhibitions of European artists in Australia have focussed on the Australian work alone and "therefore presented only half the history". "Being able to present such a broad selection of Glover's work allows the viewer to appreciate how much Glover evolved as an artist, and to understand the dramatic impact the Australian landscape had on his life and work." Regarded as the one of the most important artists working outside Europe in the 1830s, British-born John Glover produced numerous historically valuable images showing the unspoiled Australian landscape. His images also provide an understanding of early Australian colonial life. Have a sneak preview of the Gallery Magazine story on John Glover. Sam Parker Bowles writes: "Known by his contemporaries as 'the English Claude' due to his classical artistic style, John Glover had immense success as an artist in England before he moved to Van Dieman's Land in 1831. He was second only to Turner in financial achievement, wowing critics with his landscapes and drawings." John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque is organised by the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Art Exhibitions Australia. Principal Sponsor
