About the exhibition
Discover the artistic legacy of Max Meldrum (1875–1955) in this exhibition showcasing the lifelong dedication of John and Peter Perry to collecting works by this pioneering Australian artist and his influential school. Meldrum, a key figure in 20th-century Australian art, revolutionised the painting scene between the two World Wars, creating a distinctive style that has left a lasting imprint on the nation’s artistic landscape.
The exhibition features a selection of works from a collection of over 320 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, drawings and etchings. Highlights include landscapes from both France and Australia, still lifes, portraits and animal studies - all embodying the unique approach of Meldrum and his followers. The ‘Meldrumites’ - a talented group of artists such as A M E Bale, Clarice Beckett, Colin Colahan and Polly Hurry - were deeply influenced by Meldrum’s teachings, and their works are also prominently featured. Many of these artists either lived or worked in the area now known as the City of Boroondara.
