On display are not only a wide selection of Pro\u2019s own paintings, but also hundreds of works by an impressive range of other artists including Arthur Boyd, John Constable, Claude Monet, and Albert Tucker. The paintings are arranged higgledy-piggledy and virtually cover the gallery\u2019s walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most widely represented is the Australian artist Sir William Dobell. \u2018I\u2019ve probably got 300 Dobells counting drawings,\u2019 said Pro. On the walls of the \u2018Sir William Dobell Room\u2019, located near the gallery\u2019s entrance, are photographs of drawings from Dobell\u2019s sketchbooks, while the sketchbooks themselves are displayed in glass cabinets underneath. The room also contains Dobell memorabilia including his tatty old carpet and his art smock decorated with cartoons by his artist friends. Pro\u2019s quirky curatorship is evident everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gallery is also interesting because it is possible to discover things that perhaps motivated Pro\u2019s work. Painting horses with little wheels on their legs is one of Pro\u2019s distinctive touches. Where did this idea come from? The answer may well be found in a glass cabinet tucked away in the gallery, containing three old tin toy sulkies pulled by horses with wheels on their front legs, similar to those in Pro\u2019s paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro designed the gallery himself, doing \u2018just a rough sketch\u2019 of what he had in mind. The rambling ground floor is the largest of the three levels, while the first and second floors have a large square hole or atrium in the middle of them, so they resemble a pair of misshapen doughnuts. The gallery is far too small, although plans are afoot to enlarge the ground floor and to fill-in the atrium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Address:<\/strong>  108 Wyman Street, Broken Hill, NSW  2880\u0003<br><strong>Phone:<\/strong>      (08)  8087 2441<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","listing-category":[120],"list-tags":[],"location":[112],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v14.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Attractions in Broken Hill | Country Airstrips Australia<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/attractions-in-broken-hill\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Attractions in Broken Hill | Country Airstrips Australia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Miners Memorial The Line of Lode Lookout and Miner&#8217;s Memorial is a dramatic, iconic structure on the edge of the mullock heap that dissects\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/listing\/attractions-in-broken-hill\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Country Airstrips Australia\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-07-16T09:35:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/MinersMemorialBH.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"276\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"183\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":[\"Person\",\"Organization\"],\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#\/schema\/person\/80124d79dedf8684f066a78e14eada5a\",\"name\":\"admin\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#personlogo\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/wp-content\/plugins\/userswp\/assets\/images\/no_profile.png\",\"caption\":\"admin\"},\"logo\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#personlogo\"}},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/countryairstrips.com.au\/\",\"name\":\"Country Airstrips Australia\",\"description\":\"Airstrip, Accommodation, Food &amp;
