This showcased event has concluded.
Join historian Dr Edith Ziegler, who will be speaking about her new book, The Worlds and Work of Clarice Beckett.
Beckett was an Australian Modernist artist whose work was frequently criticised when she was alive and almost completely forgotten after her death in 1935. By chance, her work was rediscovered thirty years later, and now occupies a truly significant place in Australian art history. Beckett is today recognised as an important innovator who explored philosophical, psychological and spiritual themes in her paintings and found a creative stimulus in ideas, as much as she captured the moods of her Melbourne surroundings. Her work has grown enormously in popularity over the last fifty years. An important retrospective at the Art Gallery of South Australia in 2021 further cemented the admiration of the public for her paintings.
This illustrated talk will explore the context in which Beckett's work was created by examining her family and forebears, her schooling, her art education, her teachers, her influences and influencers, the principal critics of her work, her friends and milieu, and the places that were important to her and provided the inspiration for her paintings.
