Although Meldrum painted mostly landscapes, streetscapes and river scenes with their bridges along the Seine while living in Paris for a second period from 1926 to 1931, he did undertake the occasional flower piece. This work, Cornflowers and Carnations, 1929 was exhibited in his solo exhibition at the Athenaeum Gallery, Melbourne, held in August 1931 upon his return to Australia, and demonstrates Meldrum at his finest when painting the effect of light on his subject with the minimum of brushstrokes.

RELATED WORK Self Portrait, oil on canvas on composition board, 45.5 x 37.5 cm, in the collection of the Benalla Art Gallery, Victoria ESSAY We are grateful to Peter Perry for his assistance with this catalogue entry. Max Meldrum had submitted twenty-two portraits for the Archibald Prize from the first exhibition held in 1921 to his last in 1953, with six being self-portraits. Held by the Meldrum family, this work was exhibited in the 1950 Archibald Prize and illustrated in the accompanying publication. In 1939, Meldrum had won the Archibald Prize with a portrait of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable G.J. Bell, CMG, DSO, VD, commissioned by the Commonwealth Government in 1938. At the time, Will Ashton, Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and winner of the Wynne Prize, observed of his fellow artist friend: ‘I have known him for forty years and I have a great admiration for him and his work. He is a tremendously sincere painter with very definite views on art.’1 The following year, Meldrum again won the coveted Prize with a portrait of Dr. J. Forbes McKenzie, Vice-Chancellor, Melbourne University (now in the collection of St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne). In 1949, the year prior to the present entry, Meldrum had notably submitted another self-portrait depicting himself only in a pair of bathers. Later purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1977, the work was described by curator Natalie Wilson accordingly: ‘This semi-naked portrait of his seventy-five-year-old self-attracted frenzied attention, much to Meldrum’s vainglorious delight.’2 1. ‘Art Awards – Keen Competition’, The Age, 20 January 1940, p. 29 2.

W. L., ,Max Meldrum Rated World’s Best Living Artist,, Pix Magazine, Sydney, vol. 14, no. 25, 30 December 1944, p. 10 (illus.) RELATED WORK The rehearsal, 1944, oil on canvas on composition board, 86.5 x 104.5 cm, in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra The Studio, 1945, oil on composition board, 61.0 x 51.0 cm, in the collection of Geelong Gallery, Victoria ESSAY We are grateful to Peter Perry for his assistance with this catalogue entry. In 1944, Max Meldrum painted two interior scenes featuring his daughter playing the piano, each bearing essentially the same title – namely The rehearsal, purchased by the National Gallery of Australia in 1981, and the present work, simply titled Rehearsal. They were painted in Meldrum’s studio in Kew and depict Oscar Mendelsohn (1896 – 1978) on the far right – polymath, writer, public analyst, musician and art collector – together with Meldrum’s second daughter Elsa Meldrum playing the piano, while the artist’s other daughter, Ida, is seated listening to the music. The same year as the two versions were painted, Mendelsohn had circulated a letter to a group of Meldrum supporters seeking to raise a fund of 350 pounds towards the employment of a shorthand-typist and a photographer so Meldrum could complete a publication on depictive art. By February 1945, a contribution from sixteen supporters was sent to Meldrum with a letter stating in part: ‘We think it is important that the transcending work you have done during your life as an investigator in what you so aptly call the science of appearances, should be written down by you in a definitive form, so that there can be no risk of distortion. It is equally important that your teachings should reach a wide a field as possible.’1 The Science of Appearances was finally published in 1950, with a deluxe edition priced at 10 guineas and a cloth edition at 4 guineas. Significantly, the central portrait on the studio wall is a self-portrait painted in 1944 and today housed in the collection of the Benalla Art Gallery. 1. Letter to Max Meldrum from Oscar Mendelsohn and Friends, dated 24 February 1945, held by John S. Rydge.
