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.

MAX MELDRUM (1875 - 1955) REHEARSAL, 1944 oil on canvas on composition board 60.0 x 50.0 cm signed lower right: Meldrum signed verso: Max Meldrum PROVENANCE Estate of Max Meldrum, Melbourne Thence by descent Private collection, Melbourne LITERATURE Esch, F. 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.

Notably, the work featured in the artist’s exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria in 1961, and was first exhibited at the Athenaeum Gallery in a solo exhibition in 1936, with watercolour painter Harold Herbert noting in The Argus, ‘Country roads near Melbourne are among the best of the landscapes.’1 The paintings of roadways which Meldrum undertook during this period, including Olinda Falls Road depicted here, portray different times of day and varying conditions of light and atmosphere; the aim of the painter being to capture the essential beauty of his subject matter through an ordered arrangement of the various elements in their tonal relationship to one another. 1.

Max Meldrum, Adam Galleries, Melbourne, 1981, cat. no. 5 LITERATURE: Kelly, M., Capital & Country: The Federation Years 1900 – 1913, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2013 "By 1910, Max Meldrum had begun to explore his own theories of painting. He had embarked on a selective study of the European realist tradition, ranging from the seventeenth-century figure compositions of Diego Velázquez to the rural landscapes of mid-nineteenth century Barbizon school painter, Camille Corot. Meldrum established a practice of painting directly from life, with a rapid application of colours and restricted tonal palette. A controversial figure owing to his fiery temper and apparently radical theories, on his return to Melbourne in 1913 Meldrum presented public lectures on these ideas and later established an Australian tonalist school of painting."
