GRACE COSSINGTON-SMITH

PointsettiasGOOGLE INFORMED ME, KINDLY, that it is Grace Cossington Smith’s 120th birthday today, so I thought I’d join in. I’ve always loved this era of Australian women’s art – so colourful, so feminine, but so spirited and gutsy at the same time. You can see this painting (Poinsettias, 1931) at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
