Australian artist John Power graduated in medicine at the University of Sydney in 1905. He studied art in London and Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. "He was the first Australian artist to become deeply involved in the practice of cubism and the first to write an original book on the theory of Art" (Bernard Smith, 1976). His collections of paintings together with a large bequest went to the University of Sydney after his widow's death in 1961. The Power Institute was created with the bequest.
