The Twentieth Century in Paint examines new media, pigments, dyes and additives that led to the creation of revolutionary works of art in the 20th century in both Australia and Southeast Asia. It considers how these materials impact on modern art's paint handling, performance and permanence. The results of our project will inform the preservation of modern art in Australia and throughout the region. The project brings together expertise from across Australia and internationally to focus on twentieth century painting conservation in the Asia Pacific region. For more information see:
