Artist helps museum
The Canterbury landscape artist, Austen Deans, has given a set of prints to the Canterbury Museum to be sold to help the museum’s “Sponsor-a-Stone” appeal. The appeal has been organised by museum staff to raise money for the $1.4 million restoration project now under way for the nineteenth century building. The prints are of two works by the artist painted during a visit to Antarctica in 1981. One is of Mount Discovery, as seen from Scott Base, and the other is of Mount Erebus. A feature of the paintings is the crystalline markings caused by the paint’s freezing on the canvas — these are clearly visible on the prints. The prints are available at the museum’s foyer shop at $2O each.
