Over 50 of the finest works of Australian modernist art from the past 60 years, selected by Edmund Capon AM, OBE, will be exhibited at TarraWarra Museum of Art.
Commissioned by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre in New South Wales, ‘The Triumph of Modernism in the Art of Australia’ presents a compelling view of the emergence of Australian modernism, with works dating from 1935 through to 2012. Curator, Edmund Capon, describes ‘The Triumph of Modernism’ as “a rich and representative display of the story of modern Australia, with a particular and deliberate emphasis on Australian identity.”
