Join Deirdre Cannon, Assistant Curator at the National Gallery of Australia, for an exclusive tour of the exhibition Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection currently on display at Goulburn Regional Art Gallery.

Clarice Beckett was deeply sensitive to the effects of colour, light and atmosphere, and painted the life and scenery of her coastal home in south-east Naarm/Melbourne with an eye for the commonplace and fleeting effects of nature. Her work captures a world on the cusp of modernisation, evoking both the natural environment and simple pleasures of suburbia.

Deirdre Cannon is Assistant Curator, Australian Art at the National Gallery of Australia and co-curator of Clarice Beckett: Paintings from the National Collection. Recent exhibitions include Cézanne to Giacometti: highlights from Museum Berggruen / Neue Nationalgalerie, Know My Name: Making it Modern, and Lindy Lee.

This program is free of charge and open to all. Book now to secure your place.
