The Impressionists - Geelong Art Gallery visit
On Monday afternoon (24th August) we met in the foyer of the Geelong art gallery to view The Impressionists exhibition.
A good number of Rotarians, partners & friends of Rotary attended and were suitably impressed by the impressionists!
It is amazing to have some very well-known artists and their paintings in our local area, most notably Claude Monet, whose works are the most well-known, and also some lesser known impressionist artists, whose works I found personally even better than Monet (I know slightly controversial).
We’re very lucky that both private and institutional collections have allowed these paintings to be released so the general public can enjoy them as well. There were quite a few discussions had over different artworks, and this is what it’s all about - generating conversation.
It was great to catch up with a few people that we haven’t seen for awhile. A number of us decided to drop into the Grovedale Hotel on the way back to Torquay and enjoyed more time catching up. A lovely way to spend a Monday afternoon.
Thanks Neil for organising and we hope you and Mary are enjoying Croatia!
