Herbert Badham (1899-1961), studied at the Sydney Art School (1921-26) and later taught at East Sydney Technical School (1938-1961). He wrote an important historical survey of Australian art which was published in 1949.
The swimming enclosure is my favourite of these two. The female forms are especially good and I like the way he's done the water.
