一位差點被遺忘的傑出女畫家

 

Clarice Beckett, 1887-1935,  Australian, a great female artist almost lost to oblivion, is now often quoted as "one of the leading female Australian artists". But I think the term "female" can be dropped for she is not inferior to her male artistic accompanies. I came across her works in a very brief Youtube clip this summer, it was love in first sight. But it took a while to fully recognize the quality that made her works great: besides the true minimalism and the rather direct (and charming) tonalism, it is the imagination so naturally borne in her colors, which appears so accurate and innocent that it easily escapes your inspection. Only in comparisons with others of more or less similar styles her superiority becomes clear.

So, this post is intended to bring attention to her colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I particularly love this one. The pristine sun of the morning.
