Towards Abstraction

From 19th-century Europe when artists such as Monet began painting outdoors, capturing a more impressionistic view of the landscape, to Australia’s Rosalie Gascoigne and her deeply personal works informed by her natural environment, Towards Abstraction is inspired by the landscape and humans’ impact upon it.
