Description

Yvonne Audett (Australian, b.1930) Caligraphic Writing signed and dated 'Y. Audett 62' (lower right) mixed media 27 x 21.50cm (11 x 8in)
Other Notes: Yvonne Audette has made an important contribution to Australian Modernism. After studying at the Julian Ashton School, she moved to the USA to study at the New York School of Design from 1950. It was here that she was introduced to the work of Abstract Expressionists such as Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. The exposure to this work pushed her in her abstraction and, like de Kooning, a vague narrative can still be seen in her work. After her studies in New York, Audette moved to Florence and then Milan. Having set up a studio and held successful exhibitions in both cities, she finally moved back to Australia in 1966.
