Clarice Beckett: Politically incorrect

Clarice Beckett (1887-1935), forgotten for three decades after her death, is now recognised as one of the great and highly individual painters in Australia landscape tradition. Beckett s work tells a story of a bygone era, of Australia between the wars reflecting a more contemplative way of life. The exhibition was curated by Rosalind Hollinrake, who led the reappraisal of Beckett s from the 1970s after finding a large number of paintings abandoned in a Victorian hayshed.
