❄️I bet you thought that the artist of this painting was the the Michael Bublé of Art, James Abbott Whistler!
💥Instead, it was a woman artist: Clarice Beckett, who defied the expectations of the Australian Art world in the early 20th century 👇
👉 FUN FACT: At the time, women artists were accepted only if they depicted "feminine" subjects such as flowers and domestic scenes, but Beckett painted mystic landscapes 🤟
🤙Clarice Beckett. "Across the Yarra", c.1931
👉Did you also think this was painted by Whistler? ❄️ I did, I won't deny it!
