Grace Crowley: being modern
Saturday 14 June @ Midday
Elena Taylor, Curator of Australian Painting and Sculpture, National Gallery of Australia, will be delivering an overview of the exhibition. She will be looking at Grace Crowley's remarkable artistic journey from the 1920s to the 1960s. Crowley began as a painter of conventional pastoral scenes, yet after four years study in Paris she returned to Australia a committed modernist painter in a cubist manner. During the 1940s she was one of the first Australian artists to turn to abstraction. These late works have rarely been seen and count amongst her greatest achievement.
