Margaret Preston

The Sydney Morning Herald – 9 April 1930 announced Margaret Preston as the first Australian women to be commissioned to paint her self-portrait for what became the Art Gallery of New South Wales.  

Preston’s work and subjects changed over her long life. In 1930, she was reported as sending off some panels to London to be hung on the Orient liner Orcades.  Sydney Morning Herald – 21 December 1936
