Sculptor, Hans Knorr (1915-1988), and his writer wife, Hilde Knorr, moved to Emerald in 1949 and established the Emerald Gallery (a sculpture gallery) in 1961 in Emerald-Monbulk Road, Emerald. Hans Knorr was an abstract sculptor who lived in Emerald until 1979. This Art Gallery was the first privately owned rural art gallery in Victoria. Hans became a pre-eminent sculptor of his generation, working in aluminium, bronze, steel, glass and wood. Much of his work was commissioned for churches and cathedrals in Australia and overseas. Pieces of his work can be found in every state of Australia, USA, Hong Kong, France, England and many other countries. This sketch of the gallery was done as part of the publicity of the launch of the book, 'The Hills of Home: A Bicentennial History of the Sherbrooke Shire', in 1988. As well as doing this particular sketch, Jillienne Winzenried's pen and ink drawings feature throughout this book.
