With these iconic words, Margaret Preston faced her critics to declare herself an artist – not just decoration.

By stating she was ‘not a flower’, Preston rejected the stereotype of women as passive subjects to be looked at. Instead, she positioned herself as the active, intellectual creator of her art.

See nearly 250 works, including her most iconic paintings and prints, when Margaret Preston opens this Friday 4 September – only at NGV Australia.
