New find: it appears George French Angas trimmed the left edges of two paintings to remove S T Gill's signature for his 1846 London exhibition. Paintings considered to be Angas's best, evidence shows, are actually by Gill. In this new overview I examine Gill's work for and relationship with Angas, 1844 to 1852. Gill as ghost artist. Much praise bestowed on Angas has rightly belonged to #S_T_Gill. #colonialArt #historyAU #artHistoryAU #ozGLAM #catalogueRaisonne
