O’Keeffe, Preston, Cossington Smith : making modernism

Sydney : Art Gallery of New South Wales and Bulleen  : Heide Museum of Modern Art, 2016. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, pp. 206, illustrated. New copy.

“Making Modernism brings together the iconic art of American painter Georgia O’Keeffe and pioneering Australian artists, Margaret Preston and Grace Cossington Smith. Though not bound by personal familiarity or direct correspondence, they each forged a bold and original modern art and envisaged alternative ways of seeing the complex new world of the twentieth century. Their contributions to national culture reveal the shared contours of American and Australian art histories, while underscoring the broader story of modernism’s global evolution” — back cover.
