"Form & Feeling" explores the centrality of drawing to the artistic practice of British and Australian artists. The exhibition brings together significant figurative oil paintings from The State Art Collection and their preparatory drawings – a number of which have never been shown before.
The exhibition is focused upon technique and process, exploring the differing approaches to line, shape, contour and materiality as these artists think through issues of form and composition, visually developing their ideas as they progress preliminary sketches into finished works.
This exhibition explores a facet of early twentieth-century British and Australian art history in which teaching institutions in England, in particular the Slade School of Art in London, informed the emergence of a group of ‘radical’ Modern artists that broke with a more academic tradition, and explores the influence that these artists had upon the Australian art scene at the time and for audiences today.
