Biography
painter, illustrator, musician and scholar, was born in Bendigo, Victoria. He was one of the second group of artists at Charterisville. A close friend of Norman and Lionel Lindsay , he too worked in pen and ink and made etchings; he also showed watercolour views of Melbourne at the Victorian Artists’ Society in 1893-98. A member of the Cannibal Club, it was he who 'discovered’ Fasoli’s Cafe, subsequently a celebrated Bohemian rendezvous. He designed the title page for Marshall Hall’s Hymn to Sydney 1897. An 1890s cartoon sketch of Marshall Hall is in the National Gallery of Australia’s collection of the artist’s ephemera. Was he related to the cartoonist Herbert Moffitt ? Ernest Moffitt died young; the memorial book published in his honour was of art-historical significance. This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
