Clarice Beckett—Atmosphere
Geelong Gallery presents an exclusive in-focus, thematic survey of the work of Australian artist Clarice Beckett (1887–1935). This much anticipated exhibition presents key works from across Beckett’s oeuvre from 1919 to the early 1930s, providing a critical representation of this enduringly enigmatic modernist artist’s atmospheric depictions of light, climate, and bayside Melbourne. Beckett’s beautiful paintings are revered for the ways in which they captured the essence of Beaumaris streetscapes and Melbourne cityscapes in varying light and weather conditions, as well as atmospheric vistas towards the waters of Port Phillip Bay. A key focus of this exhibition will be works completed by Beckett in our region including Western District landscapes and coastal scenes of Anglesea.
Geelong Gallery is closed Good Friday 7 April 2023.
