Petersburg and the Correr Museum

Around the lovers spring flowers

but rather as a force vital enough to give and take life

Work of art comes unstretched to allow for safe and economical shipping

Dorothy Braund 'Fall' mid century modernism Petersburg and the Correr MuseumAustralian modernist Dorothy Braund pursued simplicity. As she described, it knocked her out theres no chance for accidental effects. If you are simple everything has to relate and work an ethos that produced work that was more musical than literal, hymns about people, places and activities. Fall, an original oil painting, is a modernist triumph. Across a bruising plane, Braund paints a near abstract figure in a leotard reminiscent of a ballet dancer.
