Cootamundra Girls Tackle Day
On a bright and sunny morning on the 20th September, four young budding art students embarked on a trip to our nation’s
capital to attend the National Gallery of Australia and the Portrait Gallery. Madeline Hartwig, Riley Southwell, Abbey Wade
and Liz Shorrock all piled into the car and headed to Canberra to be wowed by the current exhibitions and permanent col-
lections, including the infamous and very expensive Jackson Pollock, Blue Poles.
First stop the National Portrait Gallery, where the Nicholas Harding Exhibition was in full swing. The Australian Artist had 28
works of famous Australians all staring demurely off into the distance posing for the artist. The permanent collection had a mixture of both photographs and paintings, the paintings that were larger had more impact demonstrated by a “wow” each
time we walked into the different spaces.
The National Gallery of Australia next on the list. We walked up to the second level and saw artists such as Lichtenstein,
Warhol, Pollock and Kiefer who are big names in the art world and adds significant weight to the galleries collection. The
girls were impressed with all the works they saw.
Wrapping up by about 2pm we all were tired and got back into the car and headed home.
