aitland Regional Art Gallery presents Masters & Apprentices, an exhibition featuring the Lakeview Collection of Old Masters with responses from local school students.
Apprentices
The Masters element of the exhibition comprises of 21 artworks from the Lakeview Collection. Acquired by private collectors over four decades these works on paper feature artworks by Picasso, Rembrandt, Goya, Renoir, Chagall, Miró and Destino (a collaboration by Salvador Dalí and Disney) and span the 17th to 20th centuries. To complement these works and to provide creative input from budding Apprentices, students from local schools were invited to make artworks in 2019 responding to these Masters’ artworks. Together we have Masters & Apprentices.
