NGV Magazine - September/October 2023 issue 42

In this issue of NGV Magazine, we introduce new exhibitions - Watercolour Country: 100 Works from Hermannsburg and Photography: Real and Imagined at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. We continue our deep dive into Bonnard with insights into Pierre Bonnard's love of motoring and new technology, alongside a new essay by Northern Irish author Dr Louise Wallace on a recurring figure in the artist's lifelong visual studies - his partner and wife Marthe de Meligny.  Dr Ted Gott shares the story of an ambitious painting by Marie-Victoire Lemoine, A young woman leaning on the edge of a window (circa 1798-99), and Imogen Mallia-Valjan looks at the rise of the influential Shaker movement in the United States in the nineteenth century.
