1 0345 001 22cm ThursdayIslandPub WEB VERSIONA Creative Spirit - Douglas Annand Watercolours celebrates the studio practice of Toowoomba born artist, Douglas Annand (1903-1976). Annand was one of a group of exceptionally talented artists who were active in Sydney during the post war period at the time when modern Australian painting began to flourish. While Annand is recognised primarily for his graphic designs and large public commissions, this exhibition highlights a little known aspect of his practice, his skill as a painter of highly original watercolours. 

 

A sketch book tour of Toowoomba in conjunction with this exhibition is also open: http://user.toowoombarc.qld.gov.au/component/jevents/eventdetail/6175/-/sketch-book-tour-of-toowoomba?Itemid=186

 

Curated by Ross Searle. The Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery wishes to acknowledge the support of the Gordon Darling Foundation. Touring to Cairns Regional Art Gallery and Tweed River Art Gallery in 2016.
