Brave New World Australia 1930s

A great exhibition at the NGV Federation Square. Australain art in the 1930s.
It is on until October 15.
An interesting range of painting, fashion, sculpture, film, dance and posters - samples of visual art in the 1930s in Australia.
Among my favourite painters, Clarice Beckett (below)


 And a wonderful poster proclaiming Melbourne to be the seventh city of the empire, largely because of the skyscraper depicted in this poster. The Manchester Unity Building!
