NGV Curator Sophie Gerhard provides an introduction to Watercolour Country: 100 Works from Hermannsburg just for Members and guests, taking a closer look at works that represent the ethereal beauty of Arrernte Country and the cultural stories that are embedded within the landscape.

This exhibition brings together one hundred watercolours made by Arrernte, Western Arrernte, and Kemarre/Loritja artists working at Hermannsburg, across generations. Featuring many artists who produced work over more than half a century, such as Gerhard Inkamala, Cordula Ebatarinja, and contemporary artist Benita Clements as well as key new acquisitions by Albert Namatjira, one of Australia’s most well-known artists, whose landscapes are synonymous with the Central Australian outback.
