Visiting QAG and stopped to appreciated Rupert Bunny’s 1906 masterpiece, “Bathers”.
Gorgeous women languishing around a pool (like a fantasy harem). The two reclining women at the front, look as though they earned a break. I love the fact that Rupert decided to place them there together with one taking a big draw and the other simply enjoying the atmosphere with a ciggy and a cuppa. He must have had a quiet snicker as he painted these two. I had to quickly sketch one with the pencil and paper provided.
(I might have to go back and sketch the other girl, ha. 😂)
The Queensland Art Gallery is looking gorgeous with some fabulous exhibits and artworks. I found some Picasso etchings and Rubens portraits down the back! I highly recommend a drop in.
