Max Meldrum b. 3 December 1875

Also known as Duncan Max Meldrum
  • Artist (Painter)
After winning a National Gallery School Travelling Scholarship and moving to Paris to study, Scottish-born painter Max Meldrum found himself out of sympathy with the academic theories being taught and soon abandoned formal study. He nevertheless made a name for himself as a most influential artist and teacher with his controversial theory of painting as a pure science, a science of optical analysis.
