History
The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society (TMPS) was established in 1918.[1] The group was a break-away group from the Victorian Artists Society, leaving to follow Australian Tonalist Max Meldrum.[2]
In 1919, within the first year of formation, the Twenty Melbourne Painters held their first exhibition.[3]
The group is limited to 20 members[4] and is by invitation.[3]
The Twenty Melbourne Painters has held an annual exhibition since 1919.[5]
