Sydney Heads
Artist: Margaret Preston
Medium: Woodcut
Date: 1920
Sydney Heads is a bold and simplified coastal landscape by Margaret Preston, one of Australia’s most influential modernist artists. Created in 1920 using her signature woodcut technique, the piece reflects Preston’s drive to develop an art form that was uniquely Australian—rooted in the land, responsive to local light, and influenced by Japanese printmaking and the Arts and Crafts movement.
With crisp lines and minimal color, Sydney Heads exemplifies Preston’s mastery of form and her lasting contribution to early 20th-century printmaking.
