Brisbane born artist Francis Lymburner first came to prominence as one of the members of Sydney's Charm School in the late 1940s. His subject matter favoured performers – actors and harlequins were among his favourite. His romanticised vision of human figures, especially circus people, did not find favour in later years although he was always admired by his fellow artists
