About the Item
A very large framed oil on canvas by extensively exhibited Australian artist, Beverley Downie.
Downie's keen interest in opera has always influenced her work. She is an action painter in the tradition of Willem de Kooning, but in a more gentle and lyrical style.
Downie is now in retirement. In the late part of the 1970s she painted a brilliant series of abstract expressionist works based on her experiences of classical opera, both listening and performing.
These works are evocative of music, but in a visual sense: they are vibrating, lilting, shimmering works, which change with the light over the course of the day.
Her abstract works are lovely meditations to live with. Evocations of sound, they can be light and soothing or darkly stirring depending on the time of day. They’re very large in size, but they envelope rather than overwhelm.
Wonderful work by a wonderful artist, this particular painting is sold in its original frame of gilt and stained timber. The 1970s box style frame creates a fine shadowline of space around the canvas.

'Beach Camp' Modernist Oil Painting Signed Anne Montgomery, 1984
By Anne Montgomery
Located in Melbourne, AU
Anne Montgomery has been considered for many years one of the women artists Australia forgot. Not any more. Along with the likes of Clarice Beckett and Lina Bryans, her work is now recognised as an important part of Australian modernism.
The breadth and quality of Montgomery's work over a long lifetime has always been appreciated by other artists. As Australian women artists in the mid Century period were relegated to the fringes of the establishment, they freely explored their own vision and developed their own style. Montgomery's work richly deserves the attention it's now receiving.
This work shows Montgomery's unique perception and expression of colour in the Australian landscape. Her use of oil on board gives her work a robust structure but the inclusion of ink sketching in the work gives it a delicate texture. Her foliage and grasses tickle, her fabric floats, trees dance - her landscapes are in constant movement.
