Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection
Until Sunday 24th November 2024 @ Art Gallery of Ballarat
Free
Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection presents an intimate, rarely seen collection by one of the most original artists of early 20th century Australia.
Deeply sensitive to the effects of colour, light and atmosphere, Beckett painted the life and scenery of her coastal home in south-east Naarm/Melbourne with an eye for the commonplace and fleeting effects of nature. Her work captures a world on the cusp of modernisation, evoking both the natural environment and simple pleasures of suburbia.
In 1972, the artist's sister Hilda Mangan donated a group of Beckett's works to the National Gallery. It is this collection that will be on view for the first time, their freshness and vitality recently restored by extensive conservation treatment.
Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition supported by The Australian Government through Visions of Australia.
