"Stella Bowen: Art, Love and War"
2002-07-19 until 2002-09-29
Art Gallery of South Australia
Adelaide, SA, AU

Stella Bowen: Art, Love & War showcases 70 of this important artists most significant works spanning almost 40 years, and is the largest retrospective of her work to go on display. It includes many previously unseen pieces belonging to private collections throughout Australia, Britain and the United States.

Her marvelous self-portrait was recently given to the Art Gallery of South Australia by the artist’s niece Suzanne Brookman who, with Ms Wilkins, will be at the media preview of the exhibition.

Ron Radford, Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia says Many of Bowen’s paintings remain undiscovered as they are in private collections, but this exhibition gives people a wider view of the artist as someone who recorded the bigger picture – her art was very personal, but in this collection we see her quest was universal: the struggle to pursue both duty and freedom.

Her marvelous self-portrait was recently given to the Art Gallery of South Australia by the artist’s niece Suzanne Brookman who, with Ms Wilkins, will be at the media preview of the exhibition.
