Major exhibition featuring Nora Heysen – In the Pacific Islands
Nora Heysen was sent to the Pacific Islands post-World War II to document island life in an era when such a venture was unique for a female artist. Using pastels, paint and conte, Heysen created some of her finest pieces during this time, capturing the people and culture of the region with striking detail and authenticity. The exhibition offers a look at her significant contribution to art through her powerful depictions of the Pacific Islands.
