The Moderns: Highlights from the Queensland Art Gallery Collection
Rockhampton,
Rockhampton Area
05 October - 18 November
Description
Australian Modernists will focus on the Queensland Art Gallery's treasured modern masterpieces of Australian art, telling the story of artists' responses to the experience of modernisation in the first half of the twentieth century.
Several contending forms of Modernism developed in Australia. Sydney artists in the 1920s and 1930s were closer to the urbane Modernism of European design and decor, as seen in publications of the time, such as, Art in Australia and The Home.
By contrast, in the 1940s and 1950s, Melbourne artists became famous for a raw expressionist idiom that drew its passion from the turbulence of the war years and, later, from the struggle to develop an authentically Australian cultural vision.
