Access info
One ticket, two exhibitions.
Presented In conjunction with Pre-Raphaelites: Drawings and watercolours, the exhibition In the company of Morris celebrates the ongoing legacy of the Pre-Raphaelites and William Morris in the work of Australian artists in the Art Gallery of Ballarat Collection from the 19th century until today.
The influence of Morris’ radical, anti-industrial ideas in both design and politics continues to be visible in the Australian cultural landscape today. His writings were used in early art school teachings, his workshop produced tapestries for families across the country and his philosophies influenced countless artists.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood discussed migrating to Victoria as a group, though in the end only Thomas Woolner and Bernhard Smith made their way continuing their artistic careers and furthering public knowledge of the movement in Australia.
Artists included in the exhibition include Norman Lindsay, Deborah Klein, Elizabeth Pulie, William Strutt, Emily Floyd, Fiona Hiscock, Deborah Klein and Paul Yore.
