Hayward Veal was born at Eaglemont, Victoria, in 1913, and died in Sydney in 1968. Despite receiving formal training in his father’s trade as an apprentice printer, Veal turned to painting. He commenced art classes at the age of 17 with Archibald Colquhoun, followed by classes with Colquhoun’s own mentor, Max Meldrum. Veal joined the Max Meldrum School of Painting in 1932, where he later served as an Instructor. He moved to Sydney in 1937 where he established an art school in Rowe Street, known as The Meldrum School, and lived in England from 1951 -1968.
Veal held his first solo exhibition at Hogan’s Gallery in Melbourne in 1937 followed by exhibitions in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and London. Veal’s first of many solo shows in America was held in 1962 in New York. Three years later, in 1965, Rome was the city of his first solo show in Europe.
