At the turn of the twentieth century, an unprecedented wave of women artists left Australia to travel to Europe in pursuit of modern art, forging international careers and exhibiting widely at the salons and academies in London and Paris. These women embraced modern ideas and achieved creative and professional success abroad, yet many remain little known in Australia. In fact, they were mostly ignored by art historians for decades.In this series, we look at three fascinating artists who individually broke new ground. Inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940, this podcast is hosted by arts journalist Rosa Ellen and features AGSA Associate Curator of Australian Art Elle Freak and Curator of Australian Art Tracey Lock as well as other contributors and insiders.Music from Margie Jean Lewis and Blue Dot Sessions.

Dangerously Modern is a podcast from the Art Gallery of South Australia about the unprecedented wave of women artists who left a conservative Australia to pursue modern art in the early 20th century. On this episode, we're following the journey of the magnificent Dorrit Black. Dorrit arrived in London in 1927 and embraced modernism in the new medium of lino cut printmaking. She went on to start her own Modern Art Centre in Sydney in the 1930s and inspired the next generation of artists. But professional rivalry and her status as an ‘unmarried daughter’ would challenge her autonomy and legacy. · Works and artists mentioned in this episode: Dorrit Black The eruption (c.1929-30) by Dorrit Black Mirmande (1928) by Dorrit Black Mirmande (1928) by Grace Crowley Anne Dangar’s Mirmande The Bridge (1930) by Dorrit Black Claude Flight Andre Lhote · This podcast is inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 · Dangerously Modern is also a book featuring 50 tr

Dangerously Modern is a podcast from the Art Gallery of South Australia about the unprecedented wave of women artists who left a conservative Australia to pursue modern art in the early 20th century. In this episode we follow the story of Stella Bowen, who left Adelaide when she was 21 to study art in Europe. There she met the British writer Ford Maddox Ford, and moved to Paris with him and their daughter in the 1920s. But Stella struggled under the emotional labour demanded by Ford, undermining her own career as an artist. Following her separation from Ford, Stella turned inward, making herself the focus of her paintings and finding a new sense of freedom, before meeting a tragic end. · Works mentioned in this episode: Drawn From Life (1941) autobiography by Stella Bowen · This podcast is inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 · Dangerously Modern is also a book featuring 50 trailblazing artists, co-published by AGSA and AGNSW.

Dangerously Modern is a podcast from the Art Gallery of South Australia about the unprecedented wave of women artists who left a conservative Australia to pursue modern art in the early 20th century. Margaret Preston is a household name in Australian art, best known for her bold paintings and woodcuts of native wildflowers. But to achieve this level of visibility she had to inhabit a bullet-proof confidence and find a sense of freedom, away from the strictures of a Victorian society. In this episode, hear how she found freedom in an unlikely Irish rural setting, discovered modernism and, it’s speculated, pursued queer relationships. · Works and artists mentioned in this episode: Still life with teapot and daisies (1915) by Margaret Preston A view of the shore (1915) by Margaret Preston Girl sitting on a bed (1917-1918) by Edith Collier Bessie Davidson Gladys Reynell · This podcast is inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 · Dangerously Modern is al

Thank you for listening to this track produced by the Art Gallery of South Australia. Join curators Tracey Lock and Elle Freak for a tour of Dangerously Modern, the first major exhibition to focus on the vital role of Australian women in the development of international modernism. Featuring more than 200 works of art, Dangerously Modern invites visitors to embark on a journey of the senses. Artistic explorations of colour, light, form and movement offer moments of contemplation, love, loss and transcendence. Ranging from large public statements to private portrait miniatures, the featured works challenge preexisting notions of ambition and success. They also expand understandings of modern art movements such as realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, cubism and the emergence of abstraction.
