Dangerously Modern is a podcast from the Art Gallery of South Australia about the unprecedented wave of women artists who left a conservative Australia to pursue modern art in the early 20th century. On this episode, we're following the journey of the magnificent Dorrit Black. Dorrit arrived in London in 1927 and embraced modernism in the new medium of lino cut printmaking. She went on to start her own Modern Art Centre in Sydney in the 1930s and inspired the next generation of artists. But professional rivalry and her status as an ‘unmarried daughter’ would challenge her autonomy and legacy. · Works and artists mentioned in this episode: Dorrit Black The eruption (c.1929-30) by Dorrit Black Mirmande (1928) by Dorrit Black Mirmande (1928) by Grace Crowley Anne Dangar’s Mirmande The Bridge (1930) by Dorrit Black Claude Flight Andre Lhote · This podcast is inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 · Dangerously Modern is also a book featuring 50 trailblazing artists, co-published by AGSA and AGNSW.
