A couple of weeks ago I went to the latest exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery 'Art, Love and Life: Ethel Carrick and E Phillips Fox' and was blown away by the paintings. The brushstrokes, colours and light in the paintings on display were so inspiring. If you are in the Brisbane area I would strongly recommend you see the paintings in the flesh yourself because they are amazing and so painterly!
'The ‘Art, Love and Life: Ethel Carrick and E. Phillips Fox’ exhibition
tells the story of an artistic marriage and partnership, one of the most
significant in Australian art. Both were painters of modern life at the
turn of the last century, and the exhibition will explore the
inflections of life and society in their work, from bustling scenes of
markets and beaches, to intimate views of families, women and children'. - http://qag.qld.gov.au/exhibitions/current/ethel_carrick_and_e_phillips_fox
I so want to go and see the show again, it was that Spectacular.
After seeing the show I wanted to get the book too!
