Abstract

This exhibition is the first to recognise Douglas Annand's enormous contribution to the development of Australian modernism. An artist and designer of great ability and style, Annand was a contemporary and friend of Sydney Ure-Smith, Gordon Andrews, Max Dupain and Russell Drysdale, and was once described as the most brilliant and versatile eclectic artist in this country. From the early 1930s Annand set new standards for Australian designers with images that were international in their philosophy, yet 'typically Australian' and 'typically Annand'.
