Abstract

Lines of Fire is an exhibition that brings together two worlds that are perceived to be diametrically opposed: the constraints of army life and the creative freedom of the artists' life. This two-part exhibition presents work by artists who trained at the National Art School through the CRTS grant scheme following their service in the World War II, many of whom went on to become major contributors to Australian art practice.
