‘A Feeling for Light’ explored the evocative paintings of Isaac Walter Jenner (1836–1902), a self-taught marine and landscape painter. Following his arrival in Brisbane in 1883, Jenner spent the last two decades of his life as a major force in the city’s burgeoning cultural life, including as a founding member of the Queensland Art Society.
Alongside works on loan, ‘A Feeling for Light’ featured 27 works from QAGOMA’s Collection, including two paintings that underwent significant conservation treatment. Find out more in the special Collection Online feature.
