Held her first solo exhibition at Grosvenor Galleries, featuring works like 'The Bridge in Curve'.
In September 1928, Grace Cossington Smith staged her first solo exhibition at Sydney's Grosvenor Galleries. This pivotal occasion marked a bold declaration of her artistic vision, featuring works such as 'The Bridge in Curve'. The exhibition was notable for inciting a spectrum of reactions, from anti-modernist criticism to appreciation by contemporary artists who valued her innovative approach. It marked a major leap in establishing her status within the modernist movement in Australia, reaffirming her commitment to exploring avant-garde styles through bold color and abstract representation. Smith's exhibit not only broadened her audience but also secured her position as a vital contributor to the progression of Australian art.
