Clarice Beckett (1887-1935) pushed her cart of art materials around bayside Melbourne streets as she painted streetscapes and suburban beach scenes. During her life she never sold a work; her single exhibition dismissed by critics. Now she is one of Australia’s most esteemed artists. Her works capture the distinctive sunlight of southern coastal Australia. She endows her scenes with warmth, plays of light, sea mist and intriguing colour.
