The gully 1928

"The Gully" (1928) by Grace Cossington Smith is a striking example of Australian landscape painting. The dense, verdant foliage of the gully is rendered with bold, geometric shapes and vibrant hues, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. Smith's work is characterized by its simplified forms and expressive brushstrokes, capturing the essence of the Australian landscape with a distinctive modernist sensibility. The painting is a testament to her unique approach to portraying the natural world, capturing the essence of the Australian bush with a bold and confident artistic vision.
