Eternal Present
Old Government House
14th July - 25th June
William Robinson is known as one of Australia's greatest landscapists, but from 2010 he has been mainly a painter of still life. Eternal present is the first survey of this important body of work. It brings together some 60 paintings, spanning a period from the early 1960s to today.
In the studio Robinson draws upon his extensive knowledge of art history, finding inspiration in artists from Chardin to Bonnard. Accepting that he is working within a tradition, he includes fruit, flowers, books, colourful fabrics, and all the other things that have attracted still life artists over many generations. These diverse, intelligent paintings add a new chapter to the history of the genre in Australia.
