Ethel Carrick | Anne Dangar

This summer, the National Gallery explores the lives and artistic legacies of Ethel Carrick and Anne Dangar.

Ethel Carrick was a gifted painter and colourist who was among the first artists to introduce a post-impressionist approach to Australia. An intrepid traveller, Carrick had a fascinating life and this retrospective brings new insights into her remarkable artistic legacy, nationally and internationally.

Anne Dangar places the artist at the forefront of modern art in Australia. Living in France, she worked and exhibited alongside European cubists as their artistic peer, all the while exerting an irrevocable influence on the course of Australian abstraction.

These simultaneous exhibitions are Know My Name projects, the National Gallery’s initiative celebrating the work of all women artists to enhance understanding of their contribution to Australia’s cultural life.
