J. W. Power is the Australian artist most closely identified with the Parisian avant-garde in the interwar years. From the mid 1920s Power maintained a studio in Montparnasse and from 1924 studied with Fernand Léger at the Académie Moderne. Power exhibited with Léonce Rosenberg’s Galerie de l’Effort Moderne, best known as a champion of the Cubists Léger, Juan Gris and Pablo Picasso. By 1930 Paris had become the centre for abstract art, and Power became a founding member of the Abstraction-Création group. In 1934 held the first one-person exhibition at their gallery.
