Foundation Curator's Choice with Gloria Strzelecki

Kathleen Sauerbier (1903- 1991) was known for her paintings of landscapes, streetscapes, still lifes and portraits. The Fleurieu Peninsula, south of Adelaide, was a source of great inspiration to Sauerbier and she was one of the first artists to respond to the area using a modernist approach including simplified forms, expressive lines and limited tones. Her practice also extended to fabric and jewellery design. Through her studies and travels abroad, Sauerbier would be introduced to modernism and the movement would inform both her aesthetic and personal life.
