From artists who gained critical acclaim to those whose work is less well known, ‘Becoming Modern: Mid-century Australian Art’ brings together works of Tasmanian women modernists who played a significant role in shaping the region’s artistic and cultural landscape.

This section of the exhibition reveals the artists’ bold experimentation of the modernist era, their strong connections to Tasmania, and the creative exchange that developed between them as peers.

Explore ‘Becoming Modern’ at TMAG – entry is free.
