About John
John Beeman was born in Sydney Australia on the 5th May 1926 the son of a Church of England minister and the youngest of eight children he grew up in Manly on Sydney's northern beaches. In 1945, after completing war service with the RAAF 102 squadron as an air gunner, he enrolled at Julian Ashton's art school where he studied painting and drawing under the tuition of Henry Gibbons. In 1949 John began working at the Australian Museum. In 1950 he received a private grant to attend London University to study painting and drawing at the Slade School of Fine Art, and art restoration and art material chemistry at the Courtauld Institute. During this period in London he received a Sigmund Goethe grant which alleviated some of the financial burden of the full time student and allowed him to concentrate on his studies. He also took the opportunity whilst at the Slade School to take courses in archaeology, a subject that related to his employment at the Museum. Read more...
