National Interests – Australian Art in the 20th Century
This exhibition explores the cultural legacy of Australian Modernism in the 20th century, pairing artworks from the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery Art Collection with significant works from Australia’s national collection.
Featuring works made from 1936 to 1997, each grouping of works of art acts as an entry point into a thread of Australian art history. Considered together, the works in National Interests paint a picture of Australia’s search for a national identity in a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
National Interests includes works on long term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection.
