Door into the garden 1947

"Door into the Garden" (1947) by Australian artist Grace Cossington Smith (1892-1984) showcases her signature style of Cubist-inspired painting. The artwork depicts a room with a door leading to a garden, with a strong emphasis on the geometric shapes of the interior and the fragmented nature of the outside world. The painting is characterized by a mosaic-like application of paint, creating a textured surface that reflects the artist's fascination with light and form. Cossington Smith's work was influential in the development of modern Australian art.
