About Ronald George (Ron) Harbeck
Ronald George Harbeck was born in Trafalgar, Victoria, on 15 January 1921. He attended Yallourn Technical School and trained as a mechanic. From November 1941 he served in the RAAF, as a Wireless Air Gunner in Bristol Beaufighters. After discharge from the RAAF in June 1947, Ron studied art at the Swinburne Technical College, Melbourne, before embarking on a career in the commercial art industry. After retirement from business and the death, after a long illness, of his wife in January 1984, Ron resumed his interest in fine art, producing a series of screenprints at the innovative Larry Rawlings Fine Art Print Workshop in North Fitzroy, Victoria. In 2008 with the assistance of the Gordon Darling Australia Pacific Print Fund, the National Gallery of Australia purchased a collection of 18 of Ron’s work between 1984 and 1989, as printer’s proofs in celebration of the National Gallery of Australia’s 25th Anniversary.
