Charles Meere is just the little known artist who painted it. This book reveals a fresh perspective on a fascinating and remarkable artist whose reputation deserves complete re-evaluation. Accused of fascism, totalitarianism and eugenics, Meere has been dismissed by critics as unimaginative and dull. This beautifully illustrated book establishes Meere as a remarkably original, satirical and profound painter, showcasing &#8220;Australian Beach Pattern&#8221;, other Meere paintings and his poster art.<\/p>\n<h4>Press<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au\/shop\/item\/9781925043389\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">artgallery.nsw.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.canberratimes.com.au\/act-news\/canberra-life\/book-review-joy-eadie-discovering-charles-meere-art-and-allusion-20170718-gxdqff.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canberra Times book review<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theconversation.com\/discovering-charles-meere-an-intriguing-subversive-artist-76590\">The Conversation: an intriguing, subversive artist<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; She [Joy Eadie] has forced us to re-examine in some detail a largely forgotten figure in Australian art.
