ahh.... Clarice BECKETT.

 

[Flowerpot]

Yes reefer, Clarice it is. Hmm Think that was too easy.
All yours reefer :Y:

 

[reefer]

HEHE....The Heidelberg School of Artists...particularly Roberts and Mc Cubbin have been my favourite Painters since Ilearned of them so many years ago...both of them hang in my abode...well prints of. ] and Ithink Beckett was one of the much lampooned adherents of the 'tonal' style of misty works for a lot of the time...great painter though..I like some of her work.Ithink she died while painting a scene somewhere...sad life really.
THE HOUR IS LATE!...I shall comeback with an offering on the morrow. ]

 

[Flowerpot]

Yes reefer, the HBS of Arts did churn out brilliant artists
Clarice Beckett is my favourite painter, I have plagiarised a couple of her works and they hang in my home. I copied them because I love her minimalist/ misty style and wanted to learn the same. I have a book of her works and brief story of her life. Cheers
I love this quiz but it's hard trying to find a question that is not easy to find the answer to on Dr Goggle. :Y:

Thanks Flowerpot , Clarice Marjoribanks Beckett, I fully understand why you would want to study and emulate her style. It is beautiful, somewhat ghostly, eerie and full of wonderment. I love her "Evening, St. Kilda Road, just brilliant, thanks again.
