about Margaret Preston’s ideas on art and Australia –
as captured in her own words. |
‘I’m personally
aiming at the simplification of all forms and to express the monumental
form and dry colour of Australian landscapes … I wish to continue
the basic work of the Aborigines … What I am after in my work
is to give the national, spiritual and characteristic features of
this country’.
(‘Australian Artists speak’,
radio 2FC 1945)
