In Melbourne in 1889 they gave the 9 by 5 Impression Exhibition its name: Roberts, Streeton and Conder painted small plein-air impressions on cigar-box lids supplied by the cigar merchant Louis Abrahams, and the show became a landmark of Australian art. This little landscape sits in that same improvising tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bremen cigar stamp on the reverse keeps the reuse visible. A panel that began as packaging for a German cigar brand became the ground for a painting, which turns a modest picture into a record of thrift and reuse as much as image-making. A tiny work, but not a minor object.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KILL OR BE KILLED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43248760684657,"sku":"KOBK.26.OBJ.005","price":165.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/5800\/9201\/files\/download_6075d2f9-37be-42b8-b398-305e31196af4.jpg?v=1779781448","url":"https:\/\/kobk.online\/products\/miniature-landscape-on-cigar-box-lid-artist-unknown","provider":"KILL OR BE KILLED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
