“Born in Melbourne in 1911, John Flexmore attended night classes at the National Gallery School between 1930 and 1936, studying under Bernard Hall, W. B. Mcinnes, and Charles Wheeler. Before 1930 he was experimenting with linocuts and rubber stamps, as box wood was too expensive. He was inspired by Japanese prints, and was one of the few artists to use water based inks He made about 50 prints (many very small), some of which were sold in sets. Flexmore encouraged other students at the National Gallery School to experiment in the medium. These included Una Sparrow, Arthur Boyd, Clifford Bayliss and Oswald Hall. Flexmore became well known for his traditional watercolours. He died in 1971.”
