About Albert Ernest Newbury
Albert Ernest Newbury was born in Middle Park, Victoria in 1891. From 1909-1914 Newbury studied at the National Gallery of Victoria School under Frederick McCubbin and Bernard Hall. He later taught drawing at the N. G. V. from 1939-1941. He married colleague and fellow student, Ruth Trumble, and they built a home at Eltham, Victoria, where he did most of his painting. Popular impressionism and the tonal impressionism taught him by Max Meldrum were evenly combined in the lyrical landscapes for which he became best known.
