Margaret Preston specialised in still life subjects, seeking to reinvent the genre, with inspiration from Aboriginal art and Australian native flowers, but she also made landscapes, and painted an introspective self-portrait. Her hand-coloured woodcuts and linocuts are a modernist interpretation of what is often thought of as traditional women's subject matter.
