Curator's Choice with Tracey Lock

Over the summer of 1928, Dorrit Black, Grace Crowley and Anne Dangar experienced a time of artistic transformation while students painting in the sleepy, medieval village of Mirmande in the south of France.  This quiet bucolic location was an unexpected wellspring of modernism. What followed for these three woman artists would have a generative impact on the development of the twentieth century Australian art. 

Join Tracey Lock, Curator of Australian Art, as she discusses this significant moment, sharing insights gained from her site visit to the village during her Churchill Fellowship, with a special focus on the reassembled rare trilogy of Mirmande paintings showcased in Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890-1940.

We will meet in the Atrium at 4.45pm for a drink before settling in for the presentation at 5pm.

Please contact David Cornish, Philanthropy Manager, if you have any questions.
