TRANSPARENT: Queensland watercolourists
‘Transparent: Watercolour in Queensland 1850s–1980s’ — a 2014 exhibition held at QAG — demonstrated the enduring appeal of watercolour as a medium with 150 works from the Gallery's Collection. Used by early settlers to depict the landscape, by later artists to evoke the growing city of Brisbane and by wartime artists to record daily activities, watercolour is portable and adaptable, perfect for capturing quick impressions.
