A superb draughtsperson throughout her career, a master printmaker and a designer in various forms.1 Her prodigious talent was evident from her late teens winning various awards as a student at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School. In 1956, she won the NGV’s Travelling Scholarship which took to her London where she enrolled at the Slade School of Fine Art. In London, Dawson encountered the work of Rothko and Motherwell, and in Paris, Dubuffet and Miro, each leaving a strong impression. After her return to Australia in 1961, her confidence in vibrant colours, abstract forms and flat surfaces created paintings that were fresh and distinctive and attracted widespread critical attention, particularly through her association with Gallery A (Sydney and Melbourne) . Dawson is often cited as one of three women artists included in the National Gallery of Victoria’s The Field exhibition. The domination of abstraction by men was obvious and something that Feminism in Sydney and Melbourne took to task in the following decade. But ‘Dawson’s most Field-like paintings were not in ‘The Field’ – they had preceded it.2 Her contribution, Rollascape, is a shaped canvas and using a roller is painted in a muted orange.3 In one sense it anticipates the paintings which followed, including her Foxy Night series with their use of half-tones and illusion of subtle depth. In 1973, Dawson and her husband moved to Binalong, and in 1977 to nearby Scribble Rock, both about an hour north-east of Canberra.4 The Foxy Night paintings were borne out of the location itself. Dawson is untroubled by abstraction and naturalism occurring in a comfortable sequence – for her, they have seldom been opposites or competing forces with one effortlessly following the other. Last Foxy Night, 1979 is similar in style and treatment to other Foxy works in public collections.5 The slipping and cascading poise of shapes are held within a briskly painted surface and muted palette. The soft atmospheric effect seems almost Whistlerian in its nocturnal tonal range. Here we find the synthesis of Dawson’s observation and the feeling for her location, interwoven with her own intellectual and aesthetic disposition. 1.
