Grace Crowley’s Girl with goats

With Beckett Rozentals, Curator of Australian Painting, Sculpture & Decorative Arts to 1980

Grace Crowley was pivotal in developing abstract art in Australia. After a trip to France, she was seduced by the modernism movement, shifting from a more conservative painting style toward the abstract approach seen in Girl with goats.
