Stewart MacFarlane
Small Observations: A survey of small oil paintings 1967-2005

Stewart MacFarlane's small paintings are the focus of this catalogue and survey exhibition at Carnegie Gallery in Hobart.  The small paintings are direct observations, foundations for the major works, while still standing alone as complete in themselves.  Seeing a large group of these works together, painted over more than three decades, displays a consistent vision and working discipline as well as the range of subject matter favoured by the artist.

The monograph includes an informative essay by Dr Veronique Helmridge-Marsillian entitled The Small Painting: How and What.
