AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Nora Heysen wasn’t the only talented artist in the family. As a young woman, her painting was extraordinary, but she could never get out from the shadow of her dad. She took her talents to London to carve her own identity, but male teachers and critics told her that her work wasn’t very good.

'It was.

'Back in Australia, Nora was the first woman to win Australia’s biggest portrait prize, the Archibald.  She was also the first woman to be sent to war as a war artist.  She documented many women at war, and in the last years of her life, was finally recognized as one of the finest portrait painters Australia has ever seen.'  (Production summary)
