Also known as James Peter Quinn
  • Artist (Painter)
Painter and contemporary of George Coates, Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts, James Quinn spent a number of years studying in Paris as the recipient of the National Gallery Travelling Scholarship in 1894. Though no modernist himself, Quinn publicly opposed Sir Robert Menzies when, in 1941, Menzies opened an exhibition with derogatory remarks about modern art.
