Dorothy Braund Retrospective
19 November 2006 - 21
January 2007
A comprehensive restrospective exhibition of this modernist
artist, in conjunction with Eastgate & Holst Fine Art.
A student and associate of influential Australian modernists
Alan Sumner and George Bell, Dorothy Braund has had a long and
productive career, all periods of which are represented in the
exhibition.
Braund's work, in a restrained figurative style, begins with
the natural world, people and activity, observed with distinctive
wit and humanity. The subject is explored often through a series
of works and refined and simplified. Characteristics of her works
are economy of means, rhythmic tension of line, close colour
harmony, and subordination of the object, focusing attention
on the form and design which are the artist's primary vehicle
of expression.
