| Hilda Rix Nicholas - The Man for the Job
|
|
Date: 23 January - 5 AprilVenue: Bendigo Art Gallery - 42 View St Bendigo Free entry to the exhibition on Australia Day, Tuesday 26 January.
Hilda Rix Nicholas: The man for the job will focus on the Australian images of Rix Nicholas’s career. The exhibition title comes from a statement made by Rix Nicholas’s herself in 1922 when discussing the new direction in her work: ‘It has not been done to any extent … and I feel I am the man for the job.’
Her images of both men and women in Australian pastoral scenes challenged the male-dominated cultural and artistic establishment and effectively isolated her from contemporary Australian women artists’ practice. Her aim however was to present these works to European audiences and in 1925–26 she was the first female Australian artist to have a solo exhibition in both Paris and London with the exhibition then touring to regional galleries throughout the United Kingdom.
Admission fees apply for this exhibition.

| Excellence of Ware, Bendigo Pottery Majolica 1879-1911
|
|
Date: 6 March - 9 MayVenue: Bendigo Art Gallery - 42 View St Bendigo A Bundoora Homestead Art Centre touring exhibition
Bendigo Pottery is one of Australia’s best known potteries but an aspect of its history has been neglected. Majolica wares were popular in Western Europe in the late 19th century. It was produced by a few Australian colonial potteries. However the finest quality and quantity were produced by the Bendigo Pottery from 1879 to 1911. Bendigo Pottery regularly won medals and certificates for its pottery internationally.
This exhibition will trace the range of majolica wares that emerged from Bendigo pottery. It will include works from public and private collections revealing some extremely rare examples. |
