Early 20th century Australian artist

Being in Melbourne has brought about a few pleasant surprises. Who would have thought that we would be researching early 20th century Australia women painters — who were not photographers.

We can blame the auction houses for having exhibitions of works that we would not otherwise have been able to see. It was in September at Joel’s Women Artists exhibition that we spotted six paintings by Mary Meyer.

We have been busy online, looking for publications and speaking to people to put together some background on Mary Meyer.

I hope soon to update the information on Mary Meyer on the  DAAO — Dictionary of Australian Artists Online.

Meanwhile here’s a link to our research on Mary Meyer.
