Amelia Birch
We invite visitors to join us for a Friday Talk by Amelia Birch titled
'Intrepid Expatriates: The works of Agnes Goodsir and Romaine Brooks'.

In the first few decades of the twentieth century an artistic community
of lesbian expatriates flourished in Paris, their numbers small but
their creative output far-reaching. In this talk Amelia Birch focuses on
two of these artists, Australian-born Agnes Goodsir and American Romaine
Brooks, exploring the significance of their lives and work and why their
innovation deserves closer attention.    After working in theatre for
several years in London, Amelia returned to Perth for further study and
nicer weather. She is currently completing her Honours year in History
of Art at UWA, where her research is addressing women’s self-
representation through portraiture in the first half of the twentieth
century.
