SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture -by Gautam Shah

.

Dora Lynnell Wilson (1883-1946), was a British-born, Australian artist. Dora was educated at National Gallery School (1901-06). She was best known for the street scenes of Melbourne and other places in Europe. 1930s she focussed on historical scenes from Melbourne's history, forming an exhibition entitled 'Milestones of Melbourne'.

Dora was an Impressionist & Modernist painter. She had fresh and 'strong sense of colour' but was criticized showing a 'chocolate box prettiness’. She experimented with drawing people, buildings, and some ‘accidental’ effects of light and shade. Her avoidance of Black helped to create a comforting atmosphere.
