Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack is a key figure within Victoria's cultural history. A master of the legendary German Bauhaus design school, Hirschfeld Mack emigrated to Australia in 1941 and taught at Geelong Grammar School. He experimented with colour theory, materials and techniques to create paintings, prints and drawings that harness the dynamic and rhythmic qualities of colours and shapes. This exhibition investigates the progressive and experimental aspects of Hirschfeld Mack's practice through a display of over forty artworks and visual tools such as colour charts.
