Figures in an Exhibition
The figure, through its many invocations, has been the muse to the imagination of many artists across periods and styles. Figures in an Exhibition draws together sculptures, paintings and photography from Australian art, ranging from the Colonial era, through early Modernism to the inspiring examples of the present. These various representations of the human figure reflect a variety of concepts of beauty and style as well as portraying various ideas of personal and national identity.
Within the exhibition, amongst others, the poetic feminine figures of the sculptors such as Bertram Mackennal and C.D. Richardson stand in elegant contrast to the masculine hyper-real detail of Ron Mueck and Sam Jinks figures. Figures in an Exhibition encapsulates the changing ethos of Australian art.
