Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 explores the art and lives of 50 trailblazing women artists and their contribution to international modernism.

Created by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in celebration of the exhibition this luxurious scented candle is inspired by the cleansing ritual of bathing. A transformative blend of sun-soaked stone, aromatic herbs and calming florals, it is presented in a custom gift box featuring detail of Dorrit Black’s painting On the rocks (1935).
