Clarice Zander

Alleyne Clarice Zander (9 February 1893 – 12 October 1958), was an Australian artist, art curator, gallery manager and publicist, born Alleyne Clarice Peel in Coleraine, Victoria.

In 1934 she began working for the Royal Academy of Art, later becoming a full time employee.

[3][4] For the New Burlington Galleries she helped organise and promoted exhibitions by Picasso, Salvador Dali and Giorgio de Chirico and travelled to Nazi Germany to research works for Twentieth Century German Art made in response to the Nazi's degenerate Art exhibitions.

[5] She was the long term partner of political cartoonist Will Dyson until his death in 1938.

Fearing a German invasion of Britain she returned to Australia in 1940, partly because of her Jewish surname by marriage.
