Description
Macdonald, a member of the Painters Eleven and a highly respected teacher, had a powerful impact on many of his students. He transformed their work, made them see things inside themselves, made them wonder who they were and why. His teaching is said to be the catalyst for innumerable careers. The works of fifteen artists are included in this exhibition; among them are David Blackwood, Dennis Burton, June Handera, Alexandra Luke and William Ronald.
