Clarice Beckett b. 1887

Also known as Clarice Marjoribanks Beckett
  • Artist (Painter)
Passionate about the philosophy and practice of painting and inspired by the teachings of Max Meldrum, Beckett practiced her craft at every available moment. As the dutiful daughter of infirm parents these moments proved limited but Beckett nevertheless managed to exhibit regularly throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. It was only after her early death in 1935 that her work began to receive the acclaim it deserved.
