On Monday 3 February we were welcomed by the Benalla Art Gallery's new Director Eric Nash.
Eric introduced himself and expanded on his hopes and dreams for the gallery. He advised how the Gallery has been digitally recording unframed prints and paintings and showed us one painting held in the gallery’s archives by Russian Painter Danila Vassilieff who spent some time in Australia in the middle 20th century. He also showed us other examples of this artist’s work and explained his influence on several Australian Artists.
We thank Eric for his efforts and look forward to the March ‘First Monday’ where he has organised a lecture by the artist Phillip Edwards who has a number of paintings of Mount Buffalo in the Simpson Gallery.
