Pissarro: The First Impressionist Conference
Dates
Saturday 19 November 2005
Venue
Art Gallery of NSW
Conveners
Mr Terence Maloon AGNSW and Dr Caroline Turner, HRC, ANU
In 1984 the HRC theme was 'Landscape and the Arts', confronting
the relationships between ideal and real landscapes and the role
of landscapes in a culture's projection of itself. Twenty years
later as part of our broad treatment of the theme “Cultural
Landscapes” we will reassess approaches to representation
of landscape in the arts. As one project a conference with the
Art Gallery of NSW in November 2005 will explore FRENCH IMPRESSIONISM
and in particular the landscapes and cityscapes of Camille Pissarro
and his experiments with pictorial composition in the context
of the contemporary ideas surrounding Impressionism and neo-Impressionism.
