Dorrit Black was one of the most important Australian modernists, advancing and promoting the cause of modern art in Australia through her practice, advocacy and teaching. Dorothea Foster (Dorrit) Black (1891-1951), artist, was born on 23 December 1891 at Burnside, Adelaide, daughter of Alfred Barham Black, engineer and architect, and his wife Jessie Howard, née Clark, amateur artist. Dorrit Black died in the Royal Adelaide Hospital on 13 September 1951, at the age of 59, after a car accident.
In this video, assistant curator of Australian art Hannah Hutchison offers a close look at the dynamic prints, drawings and printing blocks of pioneering Australian woman modernist Dorrit Black (1891-1951), whose experiments with the new medium of linocut still emanate optimism and energy.
She was educated at Mrs Fanny Hübbe's private school at Kensington. Her body was cremated following a Unitarian service.
