Ethel Carrick
Ethel Carrick (1872–1952) was a pioneering artist who forged new ground in the early twentieth century with her bold and vibrant post-impressionist works. A truly transnational artist, Carrick was born in Britain and lived and worked primarily in France and Australia.
Join Deborah Hart, Head Curator, Australian Art, to celebrate the opening of Ethel Carrick at the National Gallery of Australia. From Sydney to Paris, Deborah gives insight into the life and work of Carrick to reveal her adventurous spirit, her commitment to the war effort and her great abilities as a colourist.
This exhibition covers the full spectrum of Carrick’s career, including her rich and diverse output during her travels through Europe, India and North Africa. Comprising 140 works, this will be the first retrospective of Carrick’s work for nearly half a century and an opportunity to assess her work in a new light.
Ethel Carrick | Anne Dangar is a Know My Name project, the National Gallery initiative celebrating the work of all women artists to enhance understanding of their contribution to Australia’s cultural life.
