On Barbara Tucker and Heide (VIC)

Much more than a muse; Barbara Tucker was a vital partner in the artistic success of her famed husband.

Using accounts from friends and family, essays, letters and photographs, and contributions from Heide Museum of Modern Art, biographer Hermina Burns (Barbara Tucker: The Art of Being) will present a multifaceted view of Tucker and the life she made with her artist husband Albert.

In conversation with Mary Crooks of the Victorian Women’s Trust.
