Frances Lindsay’s introduction argues that ‘certain Australian artists will stand out, not just for the aesthetic quality of their work, but also for their significant contribution to our understanding of what constitutes the Australian identity. Clarice Beckett is one such artist. Her works capture the essence of Australian city life, in particular that of Melbourne, and more specifically that of the bayside suburbs, at a time between the World Wars when the advent of the modern age was signified by the motorcar and the ubiquitous telegraph pole’.
