It is hard for us to imagine the oppressed lives of single women in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet a few determined Australian women took a leap into the unknown and carved careers for themselves in Paris.
They studied, painted, and haunted galleries and salons. They exhibited in the Paris Salons and in private galleries on the Left Bank. They received prizes and awards out of all proportion to their numbers. And they brought back to Australia not only greatly enhanced skills but also Modernism – to a country that had barely heard of it.
This book examines a selection of the best artists among them, including some who have all but been forgotten, giving them back their rightful place in Australian art history.
