Although he attended classes at the National Gallery School in Melbourne under Irish-born master George Frederick Folingsby (1828–91), he remained largely self-taught, especially in oil painting. Influenced by Turner as well as the Barbizon School of landscape painting, Streeton was also strongly drawn to the loose brushwork and light-focused approach of French Impressionism, as well as its focus on plein air painting directly from nature. As a founder member of the Heidelberg School and a close friend of its leader Tom Roberts (1856-1931), Streeton painted with the group in its artist camps at Box Hill, Heidelberg and the Yarra, around Melbourne; and also at Richmond and the Hawkesbury River, Coogee Bay and Little Sirius Cove, outside Sydney. Three of his greatest masterpieces of Impressionist landscape painting include: Still Glides the Stream (1890, Art Gallery of New South Wales), Spring (1890, National Gallery of Victoria), Fire’s on Lapstone Tunnel (1891, Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney), The Railway Station, Redfern (1893, Art Gallery of NSW), and The Purple Noon’s Transparent Might (1896, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne). In addition to these famous landscape paintings, he also produced a number of portraits and self-portraits. Like Roberts, Streeton spent most of the years 1900-1924 in England, becoming an Official War Artist in 1918. His comparative lack of success abroad made no difference to his reputation in his native country, where he was seen as an icon of modern art and the foremost painter of the remote Australian landscape.“ --- SUBSCRIBE: Facebook: Facebook Group ’LearnMoreFromMasters’: Instagram: Contact: LearnFromMasters01@ LIST OF ARTISTS already posted on LearnFromMasters: --- MUSIC: Chris Zabriskie - Laserdisc Laserdisc by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
