  Clarice Beckett Retrospective The subtle work of a much-neglected Australian artist
Meldrum, who had developed his own artistic theory, “The Scientific Order of the Impressions”, claimed that social decadence had given artists an exaggerated interest in colour and, to their detriment, were paying less attention to tone and proportion.
Meldrum's radical eclecticism, pacifism and anti-establishment views attracted many young artists and one of Beckett's early exhibitions, in 1919, was a group show with students from Meldrum's private art school.
While Meldrum credited her as his model student Beckett only embraced some of his theories, in particular his insistence that accurate tonal rendition should be the main preoccupation of the artist and that the subjects be drawn from everyday life.

 Archibald Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The prize has historically attracted a good deal of controversy and several court cases; the most famous in 1943 when William Dobell's win was challenged because of claims it was a caricature rather than a painting.
Max Meldrum criticised the Archibald Prize winner in 1938, saying that women could not be expected to paint as well as men.
Nora Heysen was the first woman to win the Archibald Prize, with a portrait of Madame Elink Schuurman, the wife of the Consul General for the Netherlands.

 Timmie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Timmie was born in Illinois on October 9, 1988 to married parents, Tim and Nancy Meldrum.
On September 25, 1998, a motion was filed to the Court by Timmie requesting that his liberty interests be considered in all proceedings surrounding his custody, a stay of transfer, and a court appointed attorney to represent his interests.
Meldrum challenged his own agreement, that Timmie should remain in his bonded family of more than 12 years, in South Dakota, while having scheduled visits with his biological father in Illinois.

Meldrum's approach was supported by strong theoretical arguments about optical impressions and representing them by the tonal method of painting.
Instead, Meldrum believed in recording unmanipulated Nature as it appeared to the 'innocent' eye in the moment of its registering the image; he taught his pupils how to cultivate that form of seeing and to record that image on the canvas quickly and methodically by understanding the tonal gradations that occur when light strikes objects.
Ironically, too, the Meldrum method, by eschewing fine detail, actually encouraged a modernistic tendency to apply broad areas of paint that could take on a life of their own.

 Guardian | Russell Foreman
After showing early artistic talent, he became a pupil, aged 10, of Max Meldrum, the Scottish-born trustee of the National Art Gallery of Australia and a controversial artist and teacher.
Meldrum became a surrogate father to Foreman, and together they later wrote an acclaimed book on painting, The Science of Appearances (1950), in which they set out Meldrum's tonalist theories.
At the time of his death, at his home in Panzano, Florence, Foreman was working on a memoir of Max Meldrum, hoping it would provide useful source material for someone to write a full-scale biography.

In 1916 he founded the Meldrum School of Painting, in which he taught the theory that painting ‘is a pure science—the science of optical analysis’.
Meldrum’s large following of students included Archibald Colquhoun (1894–1983) and Justus Jorgensen (1893–1975), and his influence on Australian art between the two World Wars was considerable.
Meldrum’s ability as a painter was widely recognized; his best-known works include Portrait of the Artist’s Mother (1913; Melbourne, N.G. Victoria) and Picherit’s Farm.

An Australian painter and teacher of note, Max Meldrum's scientific theories of painting were formed in the early part of the twentieth-century and influenced such students as Clarice Beckett and Hayward Veal.
Born in Edinburgh in 1875, Meldrum emigrated to Australia with his family in 1889 at the age of 14.
Here he advanced his theory of painting as a pure science, one of optical analysis, and his conviction that tone was the most important component of the art of painting.

He first fell deeply in love with art in 1934 when he encountered French landscape paintings by Melbourne artist Max Meldrum, and bought one; soon there were Meldrum portraits of Mrs Haines, Robert and younger sister Suzanne; in old age Robert wrote a foreword for Peter and John Perry's 1996 book on Meldrum.
Meldrum behaved so badly on the board that Lindsay refused to believe his art was any good, whereas he is widely accepted as one of Australia's greatest painters.
Observing the Meldrum and Sickert paintings, Rodin bronzes and classical marbles, 18th century furniture, the alarming white sofa and the harbour views, he said: "You're obviously doing very well.

Many critics at the time saw this seachange away from the usual panoramic pastoral landscape as the mere dabblings of yet another disciple of that outspoken art teacher, the eccentric Max Meldrum.
Meldrum had many enemies and that's probably one reason why the works of one of his finest students, Clarice Beckett were never given the kudos they deserved.
The other simply that she was a woman and female artists at the time were not to be taken seriously.

When Lempriere decided on art as a career, she elected to follow the precepts of the antimodernist school of dark tonal painting inspired by Max Meldrum (1875—1955).
She studied initially with Archibald (A. D.) Colquhoun and in 1930 with Justus Jorgensen, subsequently playing an active role in the building of the first stage of Jorgensen’s artists’ colony, Montsalvat, with which she was closely associated for ten years.

Luke is like Max on steroids - he has the same depth of observation, the same subtlety as a colourist but there's a greater vitality.
Sciberras paints like a steam train...In fact, he's so good that I may break a life-long commitment to buying the works of dead artists - the deader the better.

He uses "the time-honoured technique of blending pigment...rather than brushstrokes of pure colour." John makes no apology in these post modern times of needing to paint realistically.
Corot's 'Naturalism' was based on observations and sketches made in the open air, which he later worked up into compositions.
Max Meldrum maintained the tradition of tonal painting in Australia in the early 20th century, despite the increasing popularity of Impressionism and the introduction of Modernist principles of multiple viewpoints which challenged pictorial illusionism."

Their success and public profile were greatly enhanced by Brian's friendship with Ian Meldrum, and once he became a staff writer there in 1967 he regularly championed The Groop in the pages of Go-Set.
No doubt via the Meldrum connection (Ian and Ronnie were childhood friends) Brian wrote and produced Ronnie Burns' 1967 single When I Was Only Six Years Old, which was later covered in the UK by former Manfred Mann vocalist Paul Jones with some success.
