Reflections: Australian Landscape & Still Life is an exhibition put together by the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum Collection. This free exhibition will run at the Bundoora Homestead from Friday 18 July to Sunday 28 September 2014.

The exhibition takes the viewer on a journey from the Golden Period of Australian Impressionism through the Edwardian era to modern and contemporary art.

The exhibition includes still life works by A.M.E. Bale, Clarice Beckett, Rupert Bunny, Arthur Streeton and Margaret Preston. Preston’s Flannel Flowers (c.1928), is a strong example of the fine line work and two-dimensional interpretation of still life via printmaking. Proteas, daisies and native flowers were carved into a woodblock and remind us of the vibrancy and colour of the bush.

The exhibiton also includes several landscapes, from the soft purple and blue brushstrokes of Frederick McCubbin’s towering gums, to the isolated Surrealist cityscape by Rick Amor, the many facets of urban, rural and seascapes are represented in the exhibition.

Reflections: Australian Landscape & Still Life also features well known works by Geoffrey R. Anderson, Norma Bailey-Ramsey, John Borrack, Penleigh Boyd, Louis Buvelot, Elizabeth Colquhoun, Sybil Craig, Philip Davey, John Farmer, Ethel Carrick Fox, William Frater, Ian Fairweather, Craig Gough, John Longstaff, Dora Meeson, Lloyd Rees, Elma Roach, Jeffrey Smart, Alan Sumner, Fred Williams and Walter Withers.
