More About McCubbin...
McCubbin trained and lived in Melbourne in his entire life, which is why it played a key role in his art and served as the setting of many of his paintings. He started his formal training at the Artisan’s School of Design in Carlton, but also studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School under Eugene von Guérard and George Folingsby.
He developed relationships with fellow artists such as Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, and Charles Conder. Collectively, they are known as the Heidelberg School because they often painted close to the rural area of Heidelberg.
In May 1916, a book entitled The art of Frederick McCubbin was one of the first significant art books published in Australia. This book is evidence of his success in his craft and the recognition he achieved during his lifetime.
