AGM & Andrew Gaynor-Early Aust. Modernist Clarice Beckett
About
Circumstances have led us to source a new lecturer for our last lecture for 2025. And we are fortunate that Andrew Gaynor, a writer, researcher and freelance Curator, whose area of special interest is Australian Modernism, can be with us.Andrew will talk on one of his favourite lecture subjects: the Early Australian Modernist Clarice Beckett. Andrew has been researching Beckett since the early 2000s, and he has walked Beckett’s routes, identifying exact locations for many of her paintings.
This will be a wonderfully illustrated lecture on an artist who was cold-shouldered by much of the art establishment, due to her ties to the controversial art-theorist Max Meldrum. Undaunted, she held twelve solo exhibitions between 1923 and 1933.
The evening will commence with our Annual General Meeting, including any formal presentations and voting. And then, on with the lecture!
