It was such a pleasure to host our colleagues for the Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) annual general meeting earlier this month. We immensely enjoyed the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with members, and to hear some valuable insights into the successes and challenges faced by other Victorian institutions. Many thanks to all who joined us, and to the wonderful team at PGAV for their hard work and support!

What if you could hear a painting? In this pastoral scene by Paul Gauguin, the artist’s slanted brushstrokes and chromatic mosaics of colour bring the picture to life—focus, and you almost catch the breeze whispering through the long grass and rustling amongst the leaves.

A principal artist of the Post-Impressionist movement, alongside Paul Cezanne and Vincent Van Gogh, Gauguin mused in 1888:

“Art is an abstraction. Derive it from nature as you dream in nature's presence, and think more about the act of creation than the outcome.”

What do you think Gauguin felt while creating this work? Experience it for yourself at SAM in ‘Facing Modernity: Degas to Picasso from Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki’, now showing until 20 September - visit our website to get tickets: https://sheppartonartmuseum.com.au/whats-on/now-showing/facing-modernity-from-degas-to-picasso/
