Yvonne Audette: Paintings and Drawings 1949-2003

Yvonne Audette's career as a painter and artist specialising in works on paper has now spanned nearly six decades. Starting out in Sydney where she attended art school and modelled for Max Dupain, she soon discovered Europe and lived and worked in Italy and Spain in the post-war years when abstract expressionism was the dominant new trend emanating from America. Audette exhibited successfully in Italy before returning to Australia where she continued her career as an abstract artist working in Melbourne. The eminent art historians, Dr Christopher Heathcote in Melbourne and Sydney's Dr Bruce Adams, have written perceptive essays on Audett's career in Europe and Australia and Kirsty Grant and Dr Gerard Vaughan of the National Gallery of Victoria have contributed an essay on her drawings and works on paper.Heathcote, Christopher is the author of 'Yvonne Audette: Paintings and Drawings 1949-2003', published 2003 under ISBN 9781876832797 and ISBN 1876832797.
