83 Moncur Street Woollahra
Judy Cassab was recently awarded the Gold Cross of Merit by the Republic of Hungary for her lifetime of work by the Hungarian Ambassador.
In honour of Judy's award, Eva Breuer Art Dealer is holding a small survey show, Focus on Judy Cassab, which will showcase landscapes, interiors and portraits executed over her lifetime.
Judy quickly became an eminent portrait painter - being the only woman to win the Archibald Prize twice, first in 1961 and again in 1968 and also winning the The Australian Women's weekly Portrait Prize twice in the 1950s. Alongside portraiture, Judy also became enamoured with the Australian landscape and subsequently developed a unique abstracted view of the outback, producing vibrant depictions of her new home.
Judy Cassab is one of Australia’s most celebrated living artists. She was born in Vienna in 1920 and with her young family immigrated to Australia in 1950.
Judy’s paintings are held in all major collections in Australia and around the world including the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Judy is still painting today at the age of 91.
