Dorothy Braund 'Fall' mid century modernism like constellations in the nightAustralian 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.
