• Notes:
  The art curator, Deborah Edwards, has written of Murch's 1940s-1960s successful period of painting humans in the natural world. She notes: "...the heroic nature of the subject and of motherhood, the golden shimmering light, the placement of female idols on uninhabited beaches and the connections established with European classicism, serve to align Murch's vision to the recurring theme of some 'Other Eden' in Australian life and art." The oil painting 'Beach Group' was painted c.1957-1960. Arthur's wife, Ria, became friends with the lady who had been presented with the painting as a birthday gift c1965. In 2018, Michelle Murch purchased the work at auction. The frame for the painting was made by Arthur Murch. Michelle Murch
