Ernest William Buckmaster (1897–1968) Australian artist born in Victoria who won the Archibald Prize in 1932 with a portrait of Sir William Irvine. Buckmaster studied at the National Gallery School in Melbourne [1]. He became a painter of traditional portraits and landscapes with a substantial workrate. His work has been widely popular in Australia and New Zealand; public art galleries in Australia and New Zealand hold large collections of his work. Buckmaster disliked modern art, publicly denigrating it in letters to a newspaper. Buckmaster's work is on loan to the Windsor Hotel in Melbourne.
