Introducing the Dangerously Modern podcast

At the turn of the twentieth century, an unprecedented wave of women artists left Australia to travel to Europe in pursuit of modern art, forging international careers and exhibiting widely at the salons and academies in London and Paris. These women embraced modern ideas and achieved creative and professional success abroad, yet many remain little known in Australia. In fact, they were mostly ignored by art historians for decades.In this series, we look at three fascinating artists who individually broke new ground. Inspired by the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940, this podcast is hosted by arts journalist Rosa Ellen and features AGSA Associate Curator of Australian Art Elle Freak and Curator of Australian Art Tracey Lock as well as other contributors and insiders.Music from Margie Jean Lewis and Blue Dot Sessions.
