Grace COSSINGTON SMITH, Interior with wardrobe mirror 1955
from National Gallery of Australia | Audio Tour | Grace Cossington Smith Hosted by National Gallery of Australia
In Interior with wardrobe mirror the artist recreates her bedroom from multiple perspectives. Two wardrobe doors are open; one revealing a close-up of drawers within the cupboard, the other with a mirror reflecting the garden and sky outside. It is a miraculous, poetic integration of intimate interior space and the exterior sun-filled environment – the parts and the whole illuminated by vibrant colour. As in all of Cossington Smith’s late interiors, we become aware of spaces in which complexity is made to look effortless.
