Margaret Preston Selected Writings 1920-1950

Never shy of voicing an opinion, artist Margaret Preston launched into print on a variety of subjects from flower arranging and furnishing a bedroom, to Aboriginal art and design, pokerwork, potterh and Wood-blocking. Selected from the pages of Australia's newspapers and art journals by Elizabeth Butel, this collection addresses Preston's recurring preoccupations - Modern art, an Australian national art and the craft of art-making. "The natural enemy of the dull," Preston's style is infused with paradox, retaining its freshness, through her very direct, uncompromising attack and accompanied by examples of her woodcuts.
