I hear she was fascinating and a brilliant artist. Arthur is my Grandmother's uncle. She knows a bit about him, you best contact her soon though because she is sadly going through early stages of dementia. But last time I chatted to her she still remembered Arthur. Her mother was Teresa Munday (Kerley) and Arthur was her baby brother. I have a book about the Munday family history but it doesn't reveal much about Arthur. Just the family background and his education and why he left 'normal' society and went to start a new adventure at Montsalvat. I want to know more about him too as he has always been a mysterious figure in my family history. Grandma would have lots of photos of Arthur. When I asked her about Clarice Beckett she didn't know about her. But Agnes Munday (Arthur's other sister) wrote that she believed they were to marry and Clarice died leaving him heartbroken. Perhaps the best people to talk to are his children, they would know a lot more about him than I and they can help with your research. I hope to one day go to Montsalvat and see why Arthur loved it there so much. Good luck with the research, Rosie Hi Kerri,

I assume he is your relative as I know a little on their story as they met at an art class run by my grandfather Justus Jorgensen. Would love to chat. Kerrie. PH: 03 5397 2080 Hi Rosie,

I'm a relative of Justus Jorgensen and am researching for a book on Montsalvat at present. Clarice Beckett was a student of Justus and met Arthur at his classes. I have only just begun my research but I need information about Arthur as he is to be remembered as a founder of Montsalvat and a little background will help fill in the gaps. As I journey through I'm more than willing to share anything I find on Clarice as she was a respected member of their group. Maybe you could ask me questions and I'll try and find you answers. Looking Forward to a Chat Kerrie. PH: 03 5397 2080 Hi Rosie,

I had heard she died of pneumonia but not that she was due to be married on the same day. I can't claim that my knowledge of CB is particularly extensive though. Hi Rosie, what a sad story!
