ART EXHIBITION
Canberra Paintings by
Mrs. Phillips Fox
An exhibition of 62 oil paintings by
Mrs. Phillips Fox (Ethel Carrick)
comprising largely spring and autumn
studies of Canberra, will be opened at
the Masonic Temple on Thursday
morning by the Baroness van Aerasen
Beyern.
The paintings will be on view to-day
and until Sunday at 5 p.m., when the
exhibition will close.
Mrs. Phillips Fox is the widow of
the famous Victorian artist, 26 of
whose works hang in Australian gal-
leries in addition to one in the
Luxembourg, Paris. She, herself, is
represented in Rouen Museum, also in
the Melbourne and Brisbane galleries
exhibits at the Royal Academy, the
Institute of Oil Painters in London,
was awarded a diploma of honour at
the last Bordeaux International Ex-
hibition, is a member of two or the
most important French Salons, and
has served on the jury of one.
Her pictures are remarkable for
their sensitiveness and brilliance of
colour, her five groups of ununiformed
voluntary women war workers are
major works, and specially interesting
as records.
Mrs. Phillips Fox has been a con-
siderable traveller, and was in Kash-
mir when war broke out, and came to
Australia where she has worked in
organising exhibitions for patriotic
funds.
During the last war she was one of
the two founders of the Overseas
French Homes, which rendered great
service to hundreds of Australians in
France. She intends to return to her
home in Paris (the contents of which
were taken over by the Germans
during their occupation) when con-
ditions permit.
