exhibition. The work of many artists was on display and the exhibition aroused a lot of public interest. Crowds of people filled the galleries. The pictures were, with a few exceptions, mainly by relatively unknown artists. Many of them were traditional pictures of landscapes and portraits.I particularly liked a picture of an old farmhouse by a stream with a few sheep in a field. The strangest picture I saw was an untitled abstract painting by a well-known modern artist. It consisted of swirls of different colours which had been rubbed into the canvas with the artist's fingers. The picture looked a mess, but was also very effective, attracting a lot of comment.
I couldn't help overhearing what people said, things like?I could paint a picture like that with my eyes shut?or?Look how perfect the sunset is in that painting. I'd love to own a picture like that?, and so on. There is no doubt it was an excellent exhibition because there were so many different styles on display. There was something to suit everyone, but only if you could afford the high prices! (200 words)
