Barbara Davidson Retrospective at PCA Gallery, Melbourne

Barbara A. Davidson

A retrospective exhibition of the work of Sydney Printmaker, Barbara A. Davidson (1928-2022)

“Because she is an intuitive, rather than analytical artist, the social messages conveyed in her work are subtle, almost subconscious. She celebrates the ordinary: interaction between, people, common domestic objects. The stuff of life is the stuff of Davidson’s images.”  Tanya Crothers, Barbara A. Davidson, 2001

Please join us to celebrate the work of Barbara A. Davidson
