Download or read book Australia written by Wendy Eriksson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wendy Eriksson is a contemporary award winning Australian artist. She has been painting for many years, originally working with watercolour and then moving on to acrylics and mixed media. Over this time she has built up a collection of artworks that reflect the Australian culture. A few years ago, the largest dry lake in the centre of Australia, Lake Eyre came to life when it filled with water due to heavy rains. This lake had been dry for 100 years so to see the desert abundant with plant and animal life was a rare occurrence. This incredible change to the landscape was the subject of her Flooded Plains series. The Australian Outback with its little shacks, unusually shaped trees, iconic people and wildflowers also feature in her artworks. Being a country surrounded by water, this book would not be complete without a selection of paintings that typify the Australian beach and outside lifestyle. An iconic landmark dear to Wendy's heart is the Sydney Opera House. Her mother was an opera singer and she grew up surrounded by music and culture. The wonderful shapes of the building's structure and its many facets are often the focus of her Sydney paintings. Wendy now resides in Airlie Beach, North Queensland, Australia, surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, sail boats and colourful characters; a constant source of inspiration which motivates Wendy to paint her contemporary, bright art pieces. This book is a collection of artworks that are closely related to Australia including desert, coast and of course, Sydney.

Download or read book Modern Australian Women written by Jane Hylton and published by South Australia State Government Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1920s when Australian art was beginning to atrophy into clichéd conservative landscapes, it was saved by women, who injected vitality and a new approach to style and subject matter.Artists such as Margaret Preston, Thea Proctor, Grace Crowley, Dorrit Black and Ethel Spowers were the pioneers and promoters of modernism in Australia, exploring new ideas about what art could portray and introducing artistic developments such as Cubism. Their paintings and prints challenged other artists and certainly challenged Australian audiences.Many of these 'modern' women led adventurous and unconventional lives. They travelled and studied in Europe. Many were financially independent and did not need to conform to the requirements of a (largely male) conventional and conservative art-buying public. Most chose to remain unmarried and childless so as to devote themselves to their art.Modern Australian Women: paintings and prints 1925-1945 is a major exhibition focussing on Australia's great women artists of the modernist period. It includes important and iconic works by the well-known names of Australian art history - Margaret Preston, Grace Crowley, Grace Cossington Smith - as well as works by artists such as Clarice Beckett and Stella Bowen who have only recently begun to receive the attention they deserve.Modern Australian Women: paintings and prints 1925-1945 is an Art Gallery of South Australia Travelling Exhibition. This exhibition is supported by Marsh, the Australian Women's Weekly and Visions of Australia.
