Talk by George Hofsteters
Our planned activity for last night fell through, and George Hofsteters came to our rescue with an entertaining and thought-provoking look at some of his past works (both prints and slides).
George once took pictures for giant corporations and for normal individuals – he took them for money and for art. He has been an active judge on the camera club circuit and has judged for such major competitions as the Sydney International Exhibition of Photography. Four of his best prints are held in the permanent collection of the Melbourne Art Gallery.
George talked about his art, his motivation, his philosophy and, in response to one member’s question, his epitaph.
You can see more of George’s work on the web at the Bundeena Art Trail site, or if you’re in the neighbourhood pop in and check out the Art Trail itself.
If George’s photos are anywhere near as informative and entertaining as his presentations, they would be well worth a trip up to Bundeena.
