High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Roy de Maistre CBE (27 March 1894–1 March 1968) was an Australian artist of international fame. He is famous in Australian art for his early experimentation in "colour-music", and is recognised as the first Australian artist to use pure abstractionism. His later works were painted in a figurative style generally influenced by Cubism. His `Stations of the Cross` series hangs in Westminster Cathedral and works of his are hung in the Tate Gallery, London and in the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
