5 | The Art and Life of Vida Lahey

Vida Lahey (1882-1968) is regarded by art critic, Bettina MacAulay, ‘as one of the most influential figures in the history of art in Queensland'. As sister of conservationist, Romeo Lahey, Vida also has connections to Binna Burra. In today's episode, we hear from Glenn Cooke, a former curator of the Queensland Art Gallery about this important Queensland artist. Glenn is compiling what we know of Vida Lahey's artworks and shares his knowledge of her art and the positive impact her advocacy work had on many.
