The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Colonist: George Alexander Gilbert 1815–1877

Speaker: Dr Margaret Bowman OAM
Time: 6.30 pm for 7.15 pm start
Cost: $25 (including refreshments)

Dr Bowman will discuss the life and work of George Alexander Gilbert, the topic of her Creative Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria in 2011. She will shed light on an artist familiar to us through his exquisite watercolour of La Trobe’s Cottage, but about whom relatively little is known – until now.
