Julian Ashton Art School Sydney , Art classes for beginners and advanced in Sydney,In 1890 Julian Ashton opened the, now famous, Sydney Art School in Beaumont Chambers, King St. Celebrated painters who came from this period include Elioth Gruner, George Lambert, Thea Proctor, Adrian Feint, Syd Long, Howard Ashton, (Julian`s son) Dorrit Black and J.J.Hilder.
Henry Cornwallis-Gibbons joined the staff of The Sydney Art School in 1922. He worked closely along side Julian until the passing of the founder in 1942 at the great age of 96. As a signal of respect for the “Grand Old Man of Australian Art”, as he was known in the art world, the name of the founder was included in its title at this time. Regarded universally in the art world, to this day, as ”The Sydney Art School”, through the work of it’s graduates and teachers, the school’s influence is now seen throughout Australia and overseas. Henry Gibbons continued to run the school until his retirement in 1960.
