Shows an evening view possibly of Beach Road, Beaumaris, with a line of telegraph poles receding into the distance, an early model car on the right side of the road, and a vehicle parked on the left. The sky has the pink glow of evening with pale blue near the horizon and a foaming white sea mist in the middle ground with trees on either side.
Clarice Beckett (1887-1935) was an Australian artist and a key member of the Australian tonalist movement. Beckett was born in Casterton Victoria and educated at Queen's College, Ballarat. In 1914 at the age of twenty seven, she enrolled at the National Gallery School in Melbourne where she studied drawing for three years under Frederick McCubbin. In 1917, declining a further year of study under Bernard Hall, Beckett chose to study under Max Meldrum. In 1919 her father Joseph Beckett retired and the family moved from Bendigo to the Melbourne bayside suburb of Beaumaris where she lived and worked for the rest of her life. Her paintings captured the shifting effects of light in the early morning, twilight and dusk. Beckett began exhibiting works in the Victorian Artists’ Society Group Exhibitions in 1918. She held solo exhibitions at the Athenaeum Gallery in Melbourne every year from 1923 to 1933. In 1935, while painting the sea off Beaumaris during a winter storm, Beckett contracted pneumonia and died four days later, aged 48. Clarice Beckett is now recognised as one of Australia’s most important painters of the interwar period.
