Adelaide Perry

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Adelaide Perry was part of the Modernist art movement in Australia and one of the innovative women printmakers between the wars. This biography explores her life and work over a period when the lives of women changed radically. Adelaide studied at the National Gallery School in Melbourne and won the travelling scholarship in 1920 to study at the Royal Academy of Art in London. She taught fi rst at Julian Ashton's Sydney School of Art before establishing the Adelaide Perry School of Drawing and Painting where she mentored a number of signifi cant Australian artists. The Adelaide Perry Gallery has been named in her honour and holds the prestigious Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing each year, continuing this remarkable Australian woman artist and teacher's legacy.
