Our gallery walls are aglow with oil paintings from the nationally significant Lionel Lindsay Gallery and Library Collection. The Lindsay Collection was established by William and Marion Bolton in Toowoomba in the 1950s. It was officially opened by Prime Minister Robert Menzies in 1959 and has been housed at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery since 1994.
Guided by the collection’s namesake Sir Lionel Lindsay and his brother Sir Daryl Lindsay, the Boltons acquired works by ‘Masters of Australian painting’ (Bill Bolton letter to Sir Lionel, 1 July 1957). The Lindsays were eminent artists and Sir Daryl was Director of the National Gallery of Victoria 1941-1956.
This exhibition showcases most of the oils held in the Lindsay Collection. Featured artists include Will Ashton, Rupert Bunny, Herb Carstens, Mary Edwards, Emanuel Phillips Fox, Melville Haysom, Ivor Hele, George Washington Lambert, Daryl Lindsay, Percy Lindsay, John Longstaff, Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton
