Archie & Amalie Colquhoun

11 April - 16 May

Born in the same year, 1894, and coming from very different social and career backgrounds, Archie and Amalie Colquhoun both found in the teaching of Max Meldrum a firm foundation on which they could develop their painting. Their life together was devoted to this rigorous exploration through their work, and to communicating the tonalist vision of painting to their students. They were two of Melbourne's finest painters in the twentieth century.

Guest Curator Katherine Kovacic has brought together 68 paintings from state, regional and private collections, as well as memorabilia and photographs.
