Join Curator Dr Sally Quin for a discussion of the life and work of German artist Elise Blumann who, on arriving in Western Australia in 1938, was struck by the intense light and colour of the local landscape. This tour will investigate the artist’s response to her new home through analysis of her bold and evocative paintings.

This public program event presented by the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery is part of the WINTERarts program of events hosted by the UWA Cultural Precinct in collaboration with the 2015 City of Perth Winter Arts Season.
