There arc countless renowned examples of stillllle and flowerpieces, interiors and garden scene works which had their origin in the familiar humble contents of the artist's home or a cherished garden. The Robert McDougall Art Gallery's collection is rich in images of the home and garden from the European traditions of art practice. It is the intention of this exhibition to share these, and those on loan from other sources, with the Canterbury public as the summer exhibition of 1991-92. A major acknowledgement must be extended to TRUST BAKK CAI\'TERBURY for their generous sponsorship support. The Gallery would not have been able to mount this present exhibition without TRUST BANK CAt-.'TERBURYS partnership. IMAGES Of HOME k'iD CARDEN would not have been possible without the co­ operation of many other individuals and institutions.
