Ernest Buckmaster

Ernest Buckmaster

Ernest William Buckmaster (1897-1968) Australian artist born in Victoria who won the Archibald Prize in 1932 with a portrait of Sir William Irvine.

Buckmaster studied at the National Gallery School in Melbourne [http://www.wessexgallery.com.au/australian_paintings.php?PHPSESSID=a5ab7116f8331ce513f56f9019662a13] . He became a painter of traditional portraits and landscapes with a substantial workrate.

His work has been widely popular in Australia and New Zealand; public art galleries in Australia and New Zealand hold large collections of his work. Buckmaster disliked modern art, publicly denigrating it in letters to a newspaper.

Buckmaster was a Second World War official war artist for the Australian military's Military History Section [http://www.awm.gov.au/encyclopedia/war_artists/artists.htm] . Part of his duties took him to Singapore [http://www.diggerhistory2.info/post-war/1949/chapter14.htm] .

Buckmaster's work is on loan to the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne.
