Margaret Olley, Australia’s beloved art titan, is celebrated in a dazzling retrospective at her alma mater, the National Art School — where she graduated top honors in 1945 and went on to shape the nation’s artistic landscape with vibrant still lifes and domestic masterpieces. Curated as “Australian Intimiste,” the show reveals her deep roots in late 19th-century intimacy, her fearless devotion to beauty amid personal battles, and her bold defiance of abstract trends. Highlights include her iconic 1948 self-portrait “Portrait in the Mirror,” signaling her artistic awakening; the hauntingly serene “Spare Bedroom” (1970), echoing presence through absence; and her luminous final triptych, “The Yellow Room,” a radiant testament to a lifetime devoted to capturing quiet, everyday magic.
