The Art Gallery of Ballarat is proud to present Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection, an intimate collection by one of the most important artists of early twentieth century Australia.

Deeply sensitive to the effects of colour, light and atmosphere, Clarice Beckett (1887–1935) 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.

An in-depth conversation with Deidre Cannon, Assistant Curator of Australian Art at the National Gallery of Australia will be held at the Gallery on Saturday 24 August. Bookings are required. Exhibition entry is free.

Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection is a National Gallery of Australia Touring Exhibition supported by the Australian Government through Visions of Australia.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
