BiographyBorn in Melbourne in 1914, Max Germaine joined a group of men recruited through the Dominion Yachtsmen Scheme to be trained as officers in the Royal Navy for service in the northern hemisphere during World War II. From 1942 he saw service as a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve on the destroyer {{HMS|Valorous|L00|6}}. Towards the end of 1945, as a lieutenant, Germaine was offered temporary command of the destroyer {{HMAS|Vendetta|D69|6}}.[3] At the age of 53 Max Germaine entered the art scene. He moved to Sydney in 1962 and joined the board of F. R. Strange Pty Ltd, the auctioneers in 1964. In 1967 he started a fine arts division of the company. After seeing how closed circuit TV was used at Sotheby's in London while completing a decorative arts course in 1967, Germaine pioneered its use at auctions in Australia,[5] starting with the sale of the former Wentworth Hotel in Sydney. He retired in 1975 to spend time writing books. In 1994 Max Germaine received a Medal of the Order of Australia for promotion of the arts and artists.[8] Notes and references1. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://www.artmonthly.org.au/artnotes.asp?aID=5&issueNumber=197 | title=Artnotes | work=Art Monthly Australia | date=March 2007 | accessdate=3 March 2014 | author=Peter Timms}} [1][2][3][4][5]2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article125608482 |title=NZ RECOGNITION FALTERS. |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=5 July 1980 |accessdate=3 March 2014 |page=15 }} 3. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://www.ntgymnastics.com.au/nt-gymnastics-articles/1994/1/26/australia-day-honours/ | title=Australia Day Honours | work=The Sydney Morning Herald | date=26 January 1994 | accessdate=3 March 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite book | url=https://www.navy.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/KH09-(web).pdf | title=The Commonwealth Navies: 100 Years of Cooperation | publisher=Commonwealth of Australia | author=Young, Kathryn | year=2012 | pages=55, 63 | isbn=978-0-642-29768-6}} 5. ^1 {{cite book | url=http://press.anu.edu.au/?p=75451 | title=Pedigree and panache: a history of the art auction in Australia | publisher=ANU | author=Huda, Shireen | year=2008 | pages=150 | isbn=9781921313714}} }}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Germaine, Max}}{{Australia-business-bio-stub}}{{Australia-writer-stub}} 6 : 1914 births|2006 deaths|Australian art dealers|Australian writers|People from Sydney|Recipients of the Medal of the Order of Australia |
