Rosalie Gascoigne
B. 1917 – 1999
New Zealand born artist Rosalie Gascoigne was enamoured with the Australian landscape. She spent her career foraging debris in the regions surrounding Canberra, believing that her materials had to endure the land they depicted. Trading in clarity, power and directness, her work emanates the sun, appearing as expansive visual poems.
In 1982 Gascoigne became the first female artist to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale and has been credited with contributing a unique perception of the landscape. While she never attended art school, Gascoigne spent her entire life looking; in her words she is “not making pictures, I make feelings." Represented across public collections, she was honoured with a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2008–2009.
