THE ARTIST

plein air; portraiture and still life and
aims to keep it simple and 'painterly'.

New ABC series 'GREAT SOUTHERN LANDSCAPES' explores the art of Australia's great southern landscapes. Actor and art lover Rachel Griffiths travels across Australia visiting iconic sites that have inspired important artworks to encourage a deeper appreciation of our breathtaking landscapes.

“This vast southern continent has captured the imagination of our artists for millennia,” the actor says at the start of the six-part series, which sees her track down six Australian artworks and travel to the spots where the artists captured the scenes, uncovering the personal and cultural stories behind them along the way.

In EPISODE 1, Rachel visits the Victorian Artists' Society in Melbourne, where Ray teaches an impressionist painting class.
