Art Highlights

NGV curators provide short insights into highlight works of Australian art.

Girl with goats

Grace Crowley was pivotal in developing abstract art in Australia. After a trip to France, she was seduced by the modernism movement, shifting from a more conservative painting style toward the abstract approach seen in Girl with goats.

Kampurarrpa

In his first work of this scale, Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula represents an important place associated with the Dreaming of the old man. Judith Ryan discusses his usage of iconography, body painting and colours within the work, and his importance in Western Desert art.

Watch

Tom Roberts: Naturalistic Bent

One of the most significant Australian artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Tom Roberts was committed and dedicated to his practice of painting in the open air.

Watch

John Brack: Ordinary Mundane

John Brack, one of the most important artists of the late twentieth century, captured the ordinary mundaneness of urban Melbourne life recording the shops, bars and workplaces of the city with an ironic edge.
