Overview
Ethel Carrick and Emmanual Phillips Fox’s marriage in 1905 was the beautiful beginning of Australian’s most prominent relationship in the art world. They spent their early years travelling the world and interpreting the sights into impressionist paintings. Now, for the first time both artist’s works will be presented together at the Queensland Art Gallery as the exhibition Art, Love and Life: Ethel Carrick and E. Phillips Fox.
QAG has collected over 100 paintings, works on paper and related paraphernalia from their lives that will be on display from April 16 to August 7. The couple’s work is noted for its reflections on culture at the beginning of the last century, depicting what life was like at that time. Several prominent paintings were completed during their time overseas and heavily feature North Africa, as well as Italy, France, England and Spain.
This collection is truly worthwhile and a loving tribute to a couple that had equal dedication to each other, their work and the art industry. Even if art isn’t your thing normally, love should be, and this collection is a wonderful celebration of two lives and their shared passions.
