Sea wave 1931

"Sea Wave" is a 1931 painting by Australian artist Grace Cossington Smith. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a breaking wave, with a focus on the layered, abstract forms and textured brushstrokes of the water. The vibrant color palette of blues, purples, and greens captures the dynamic movement and energy of the sea. Cossington Smith was a prominent figure in the Australian modernist movement, known for her bold use of color and her exploration of natural forms. This painting is a testament to her mastery of the abstract style and her appreciation for the beauty of the Australian landscape.
