Robert Jacks: Rhythmic Compositions
Benalla Art Gallery
30th Apr – 1st Aug 2021
From the time of his debut solo exhibition in 1966, Robert Jacks forged a reputation as a leading proponent of abstract art in Australia, and is duly recognised as one of the most important artists of his generation.
Jacks also holds a special place in the history of the Benalla Art Gallery; several pieces by the artist are held in the permanent collection, most notably the painting Compelling vesture no. 4, which was astutely selected by art critic Patrick McCaughey as one of Benalla’s very first acquisitions.
In recognising Jacks’ incredible legacy, Benalla Art Gallery is proud to present 'Rhythmic Compositions', an exhibition drawn entirely from the estate of the artist through the profound generosity of Julienne Jacks.
