Elioth Gruner was one of Australia’s most celebrated Australian artists in the early twentieth century and won the prestigious ‘Wynne Prize’ for landscape seven times between 1916 and 1937.
The Canberra Museum and Art Gallery presents the first significant exhibition of Gruner’s art in 30 years, with a particular focus on his visual explorations of the Canberra region. The exhibition includes seventy paintings; from the artist’s impressionist beachscapes and farmland views of the 1910s to the subtle and distinctive modernist landscapes of his maturity from the 1920s and 1930s.
