Modern art meets traditional art in a majestic setting, the view from the Jülich Museum.
Here are some photographs taken before and after Chris Billington’s ‘Colour and Reduction ~ Landscapes to J.W.Schirmer’ exhibition. This was an exhibition where modern art met traditional art against the backdrop of a classic structure in the magnificently elegant and traditional Chapel at The Jülich Museum during October and November last year.
Here is an opportunity to see the paintings in better detail within the context of the exhibition and juxtaposed with some of the Schirmer originals which were displayed alongside the Billingtons.
The first few shots show the initial setting up of the exhibition by the Museum Director and some of the Museum staff.
