Krinkley Konks sleeping 1928

"Krinkley Konks Sleeping" (1928) by Grace Cossington Smith portrays a curled-up dog resting on a vibrant purple blanket. Smith, an Australian modernist painter, was known for her bold use of color and geometric forms, evident in this piece through the striking purple and the simplified shapes of the dog's body. The painting exemplifies Smith's ability to capture the essence of her subject with striking simplicity, conveying the peaceful slumber of the dog with an almost abstract sensibility. This work showcases Smith's distinctive style and demonstrates her affinity for animal subjects.
