Matthews Neville essay onview full entry
Reference: see Call of the avant-garde: constructivism and Australian art, by Sue Cramer, Lesley Harding. [’For more than one hundred years, artists have drawn inspiration from the early twentieth-century avant-garde movement Constructivism. Its abstract forms, utopian ideals and vision of art’s vital role in constructing a new society have continued to act as a beacon for artists of successive generations in many countries. This extensive survey of over seventy artists explores how Australian artists have responded to this ground breaking modernist movement and its enduring call upon their imaginations from the 1930s to the present day. A remarkable artistic experiment arising out of the social and political ferment of the Russian Revolution of 1917 Constructivism challenged the idea of the work of art as a unique commodity, explored more collective ways of working, and sought to integrate art into everyday life. Its newly invented language of abstract forms was first seen as early as 1913 in the works of Vladimir Tatlin, Alexander Rodchenko, and Varvara Stepanova among others, and in the paintings of Kasimir Malevich who founded the distinct but closely related movement of Suprematism. The influence of these movements spread to Europe and Britain becoming more broadly known as International Constructivism, and even further afield to Australia, generating local variations in each place.

The influence of these movements spread to Europe and Britain becoming more broadly known as International Constructivism, and even further afield to Australia, generating local variations in each place.

NOTE: A copy of the Specht & Fields book will be provided to the winner of this lot. Footnote; Frank Hurley (1885–1962). An Australian photographer and filmmaker known for his adventurous spirit and pioneering work in documentary photography. One of his notable expeditions took him to Papua (then part of New Guinea) in 1920, where he documented the indigenous cultures and landscapes of the region. His photographs from this visit showcased not only the natural beauty of Papua but also the lives and traditions of its people, capturing the complexities of a world on the brink of change due to colonial influences. Hurley is also famed for his work during World War I, where he served as an official war correspondent, capturing haunting images of the Western Front and Gallipoli. Additionally, he gained recognition for his photography of Antarctica during the Australian Antarctic Expedition (1911–1914) and his involvement in the ill-fated Mawson expedition (1912–1913). His work from Papua, along with these other significant contributions, remains important for its artistic merit and its historical context, providing valuable insights into early 20th-century exploration and representation of indigenous cultures.

In December 1921 the Melbourne Public Library launched an historic mural competition seeking to obtain a fifty-foot-long wall decoration to honour those who gave their lives in the Great War. Lindsay Bernard Hall – the National Gallery of Victoria’s formidable Director and strict disciplinarian Painting Master of the Gallery’s prestigious Art School – conceived the idea, overseeing it along every step of its unpredictable course.
The competition collapsed controversially in August 1922 with no outright winner declared. New Zealand-born artist Harold Septimus Power was approached to proceed with the design he had entered, which was only accepted by the narrowest of margins by the institution’s Board of Trustees on the advice of three judges.
This major, ground-breaking study brings to life the vast cast of the art world involved in the controversial competition. Myriads of relevant connections and inter-relationships spanning decades are navigated to feature the significant place that decorative painting occupied within Australian art, when it successfully challenged the dominance of staid academic realism, being an alternative, creative, way for the contemporary artist to manage pictorial space.

Lindsay Bernard Hall – the National Gallery of Victoria’s formidable Director and strict disciplinarian Painting Master of the Gallery’s prestigious Art School – conceived the idea, overseeing it along every step of its unpredictable course.
The competition collapsed controversially in August 1922 with no outright winner declared. New Zealand-born artist Harold Septimus Power was approached to proceed with the design he had entered, which was only accepted by the narrowest of margins by the institution’s Board of Trustees on the advice of three judges.
This major, ground-breaking study brings to life the vast cast of the art world involved in the controversial competition. Myriads of relevant connections and inter-relationships spanning decades are navigated to feature the significant place that decorative painting occupied within Australian art, when it successfully challenged the dominance of staid academic realism, being an alternative, creative, way for the contemporary artist to manage pictorial space.

Lindsay Bernard Hall – the National Gallery of Victoria’s formidable Director and strict disciplinarian Painting Master of the Gallery’s prestigious Art School – conceived the idea, overseeing it along every step of its unpredictable course.
The competition collapsed controversially in August 1922 with no outright winner declared. New Zealand-born artist Harold Septimus Power was approached to proceed with the design he had entered, which was only accepted by the narrowest of margins by the institution’s Board of Trustees on the advice of three judges.
This major, ground-breaking study brings to life the vast cast of the art world involved in the controversial competition. Myriads of relevant connections and inter-relationships spanning decades are navigated to feature the significant place that decorative painting occupied within Australian art, when it successfully challenged the dominance of staid academic realism, being an alternative, creative, way for the contemporary artist to manage pictorial space.

Williams Fredview full entry
Reference: The Diaries of Fred Williams, 1963–1970, edited by Patrick McCaughey, with John Timlin.
A generous and insightful glimpse into the private life and creative process of a giant of Australian landscape painting
Fred Williams kept a daily diary from 1963 until his death in 1982. Disciplined and meticulous, he recorded life in the studio, family life and his contact with artists, dealers and the art world-a page per day. At the beginning and end of each year, Williams would reflect on his progress, noting the ups and downs and plan for the coming year. The diaries contain studied reflections on his own art and offer an intimate picture of a major Australian artist at work. He maps out his work-small representations of what will become notable and important artworks-and makes comments about his contemporaries, with the occasional sharp judgement and snatch of art-world gossip, all notably without malice. The 1960s were crucial years for Williams. He moved from being a well-regarded painter to becoming a major Australian artist. Colour reproductions of his extraordinary paintings reveal their evolution and the struggles behind their making in his studio.
"John Timlin's invaluable work on this project cannot be overstated. Over more than a year he contributed many hours of painstaking consideration to edit the diaries down to a publishable size". Publisher's Acknowledgements page 663

As John is my partner, I have been living with  this project for the last two years. We are both delighted with the result, as you will be if you buy the book. We are pre-selling the diaries with a special gallery price of $108 (retail price $120). The books are due to arrive in the gallery this Thursday (21st November).  We will stay open on Thursday and Friday nights until 7pm to give people the opportunity to collect their orders.

The competition collapsed controversially in August 1922 with no outright winner declared. New Zealand-born artist Harold Septimus Power was approached to proceed with the design he had entered, which was only accepted by the narrowest of margins by the institution’s Board of Trustees on the advice of three judges.
This major, ground-breaking study brings to life the vast cast of the art world involved in the controversial competition. Myriads of relevant connections and inter-relationships spanning decades are navigated to feature the significant place that decorative painting occupied within Australian art, when it successfully challenged the dominance of staid academic realism, being an alternative, creative, way for the contemporary artist to manage pictorial space.

Earle Augustus family historyview full entry
Reference: see Dreweatts 1759, auction, UK, 5.12.24, lot 732 [reference to Augustus Earle at the end]:
JAMES EARL OF MASSACHUSETTS (AMERICAN 1761 - 1796) 
PORTRAIT OF MR JANNER 
Oil on canvas
Signed, inscribed and dated 'Mr Janner Aged 41 by J.Earl 1793 No 5A Newham Street Oxford Street ' (verso) 
36 x 30.5cm (14 x 12 in.) 
Another oil portrait by James Earl is in the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada, of William Jarvis with his son Samuel Peter Jarvis (Inv. no. 981.79.1)

James Earl was an American portrait painter to the American royalists who spent the greater part of his career working in England as many of his sitters were former American colonists who had fled to London during and immediately following the end of the American Revolution. His ancestors were Quakers who emigrated from Exeter to Rhode Island in about 1634. At the beginning of the 18th century his grandfather settled in Worcester Country Massachusetts and James Earl was born in a village called Paxton in 1761. Ralph Earl (1726 - 1808), the father of James and his elder brother Ralph, was a farmer who joined the local militia during the Revolution in which he achieved the rank of Captain. However his son Ralph (1751 - 1801) became a loyalist and because of his activities in this cause left America and established himself as a painter in England from 1778 to 1785. It is thought that he taught his younger brother James and as he was also a loyalist, encouraged him to go to London. In April 1787 James exhibited two portraits at the Royal Academy and was resident at 6 Sweetings Alley, Royal Exchange.

In 1789 he married Georgiana Caroline Pilkington (1759 - 1838) the widow of Joseph Brewer Palmer Smyth, an American loyalist from New Jersey. Both James Earl and the Smyths lived at 42 Great Peter Street, Westminster. In 1787 Smyth returned to North America to substantiate claims for his lost property. In a letter he wrote in August 1788 from Niagara to his wife he said 'I hope Mr Earl is well in health and Desire my Best Respects to Him'. Smyth died shortly before returning to England and Caroline was left with two children, Elizabeth Ann and William Henry. 

Earl enrolled in the Academy schools March 24th 1789 and is thought to have been a pupil of Benjamin West. He was an accomplished and popular painter and thirty four of his portraits painted during his seven years in England have been recorded so far. Many of his pictures have been misattributed to better known artists such as Sir William Beechey, George Romney, Mather Brown, Joshua Reynolds or to his brother Ralph Earl. Indeed four of his portraits of the Beauclerk family were attributed to Beechey, and those of Lord Aubrey and his wife to George Romney when they were sold by Sothebys in 1949. Another portrait of Lady Massereene in the collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond USA was until recently attributed to Sir Joshua Reynolds. His portraits are not as stylised as those by his brother, and his subjects are portrayed with an almost photographic individuality. His portraits of men are direct and without flattery, and he had a particular interest in portraying the eyes of his subjects with an almost jewel-like quality. 

In 1794 he travelled to Charleston Carolina an expanding, affluent town, leaving his family in London. His obituary states that he had 'resided for nearly two years in this city'. He died of yellow fever and had made a will two days before his death. James Earl had a remarkable ability to capture a likeness, and his pictures are important additions to the body of 18th century American portrait painting. He was also the father of Augustus Earle (1793 - 1838) who lived a life of exploration as a draughtsman on board ship, and who famously was the artist on board the Beagle with Charles Darwin when he sailed to the Galapagos.

['Monty Wedd presents a pageant of Australian military history through the Australian Military Forces uniforms, & how they have changed over the decades. From the early 1800 Volunteer Force onwards.'] Includes biography of Many Weddings on back flap of dust jacket:
Monty Wedd, book illustrator, author,
prominent historian, television personality,
animated film designer and art consultant, is a specialist in historical subjects and has, in his extensive research for accuracy and authenticity, established one of the finest historical\ collections in this country, which is housed at Monarch Historical Museum, Dee Why, and has on display many of the military uniforms featured in this book.
He served five years in both the A.I.F. and
the RAAF in World War I. But his interest
in military uniforms goes back to his childhood days, when as a boy many happy hours were spent drawing soldiers, and collecting boxes of Britain's model figures. He is well-known for his illustrated historic features ‘Ned Kelly’ and 'Bold Ben Hall' appearing in the Sunday Telegraph, Brisbane Sunday Sun and Sunday Times, Perth, and the stories behind the stamp and stamp oddities which regularly appear in Stamp News.

Menpes Mortimer - some uncorrected articles from Troveview full entry
Reference: Uncorrected articles from Trove:
From Evening Journal, Adelaide, 6 April, 1889, p4:
MR. MORTIMER MENPES "AT HOME,"—
Apropos of art matters why is it that Mr
Mortimer Menpes, the South Australian
artist, has obtained so much publicity within
a comparatively Bhort time ? (says tbe London
correspondent of the Olago Witness). Last
week he, or to be more corrcct Miea Menpae,
gave a children's fancy dress ball, which was
really a "gorgeous affair," little Maude
Menpes, attired as a Japanese Princess,
receiving her many guests. Ths beautiful
MisseB Savile Clarke, lovely, in white,
worked hard at one end of the ballroom,
while the handsome Misses Lehmann energetically
manoeuvred their squadrons at the
other, Minnie Terry, otherwise Boctle's
Baby, looking sweet in her Puritan goro.
danced 'with Hephistopheles to the music of
"Baotle's March.

From Western Mail, Perth, 18 July, 1903, p 50:
"World's Children," Mr. Mortimer
Menpes' new book, with text by Dorothy
^Menpes, will differ from his other works
in that the colour illustrations will be
engraved and printed by a member of his
own' family. Mies Maud Menpes has
studied the art of colour-reproduction in
Germany, and has returned home to un-
dertake the more technical part in con-
nection with her father's work. In this
she will have the more encouragement
since Mr. Menpes himself is a past-mas
terrin artistic printing, and will under-
take the direction of the work. Messrs.
A. and C. Black will publish thc book.

From Critic, Adelaide, 10 May, 1903, p7:
Three people, a father and two
daughters, were engaged in the construction
of the book. The World's Children.
The book itself is written by Mortimer
Menpes, the text by his daughter,
Dorothy Menpes, and the 100 odd pictures
contained in it were engraved by
another daughter, Maud Menpes. The
book is of the children of all nations
with whom Mr. Menpes has come in contact
during his travels.
from The Crafsman Vol 9, no, 2, November 1905:

MORTIMER MENPES and his talented daughter Dorothy have joined forces in the production of a volumein the series of color books brught out by The Macmillan Company. For this volume on “Brittany” Mr. Menpes has made seventy-five paintings; from these the illustrations for the volume have been engraved by Miss Maude Menpes and printed under the artist’s supervision at the Menpes Press. Miss Dorothy Menpes has written the text of the volume, which, like her father’s paintings, is ric hin color and in its perception of the picturesque.
From the Register, Adelaide, 16 Sept., 1908, p8:
Mrs. Mortimor Menpes, Mi--s Dorotfw
Menpes, and Mr. 'Claude Monpes have a

Robertson-Swann Ronview full entry
Reference: Ron Robertson-Swann - sculpture and paintings.
“Robertson-Swann is a master at getting things in the right place; even so, he often finds that they end up where he didn’t expect them. He seldom knows in advance where something should go, but realises when it’s right. The situation is is not unlike that of the good cook, who follows no recipe but is guided by the quality and availability of the ingredients. Or again, to borrow an acoustic image, it is a little like tuning objects in space – to some mysterious scale not known in advance.”
– John Vallance, Artist Profile Issue 69.
Formalist Sculptor Ron Robertson-Swann OAM studied under Lyndon Dadswell at the National Art School, Sydney (1957-59) and Sir Anthony Caro OM and Phillip King CBE, at the St Martins School of Art, London, England (1962). Robertson-Swann was the Head of Sculpture at the National Art School and is the artistic adviser to the popular annual exhibition Sculpture by the Sea, of which his work is a recurrent fixture.

Joseph Fowles arrived in Sydney in August 1838, and swiftly gained a reputation in the young city for his striking marine paintings. Taking up a studio in The Rocks, Fowles was recognised in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1847 and again in 1848 for his contributions to the first and second exhibitions of the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Australia. Most of the paintings he exhibited in both of these shows were ship portraits like the present works, with his renowned horse portraits coming later through the 1850s. With South Head forming background, this work in particular is an important record of early colonial maritime art. In an obituary notice Fowles was described as the "Father of drawing in the city", attesting to the seminal role the artist had in cultivating a new generation of artists in Sydney through his work as a teacher and examiner.

Every now and then, Tom Roberts turned his attention to painting informal portraits of children. He portrays them in typical poses of reading, sleeping or, as in the case of this work, a gradual awakening.
The title of Study of a Little Girl Asleep in a Hammock is confirmed by both Virginia Spate and Helen Topliss, but there lies the quandary. The girl is not asleep but very wide awake, playing on the notion of the child who reports that they are asleep to parents who ask! The work is a portrait of Sylvia Purves, daughter of Alice (Roberts's sister) and Thomas Purves, the suited insurance manager depicted in a 1900 portrait by Roberts in the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection.
Sylvia was born in 1888 which makes her about three years of age when this study was painted. It came into the possession of Fanny Burchill - the widow of Dick Roberts (Tom's brother) who subsequently gave it to Hilda Burchill, her niece. Hilda was also a granddaughter of Alexander Anderson, former owner of Brocklesby Station, the site for the painting of Shearing the rams. Alice and family may have visited Roberts while he laboured over his shearing picture, providing some light relief. It would account for the portrait remaining with Roberts who, subsequently, left it with the Andersons, not an unusual act of generosity on his part, Spate viewing the portrait while it was owned by the Anderson family.
Roberts intermittently recorded his observations of children either in sketchbooks or as small studies; a cigar box employed for the portrayal of William Hay's granddaughter amongst many. While biographer Humphrey McQueen surmises that Roberts's reflections are a yearning for fatherhood, he was also interested in the notion of childhood. He often kept his studies for reference rather than relinquish them as gifts for the parent.
Roberts's portraits of children owe their inherent interest to the meticulous nature of his studies. This is evident in the National Gallery of Victoria's Miss Lily Stirling (c.1890), the portrait of the daughter of the prominent Dr Robert Stirling. She is dressed in a symphony of white fur-trimmed hat and coat, her face carefully painted in peachy Renoiresque flesh tones; yet Lily is in control, her gaze steady and sincere.
The face of Sylvia Purves is beautifully observed. Despite her youth, Roberts portrays her as noticeably self-aware, paying no attention to the hovering artist. He positions her within the same green patterned background found in many of his studies during the 1880s. The hammock was also a familiar device. One of Roberts's previous works, Cream and Black (c.1889), at one time titled Girl in a Hammock, shows a lounging Lucy Walker. The hammock facilitates a sense of quiet contemplation and study, although in Sylvia's case it also cocoons the young child within its knotted strings.

LITERATURE
Barry Pearce, John Passmore Retrospective, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 1984, p. 34, cat. 7 (illus.)

In the 1930s, John Passmore's friend and art director at Lintas, Reg Jenkins, purchased a house in Suffolk known as Gooseberry Cottage. The property was to become pivotal in Passmore's development as a painter. Barry Pearce in his essay for the 1984 Retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales writes,

'This beautiful house with its thatched roof, nearby cornfields and apple orchard was close to both Gainsborough and Constable country, and from Passmore's first visit it found a place in his inspiration that was to remain for the rest of his life. Indeed Passmore's relationship with the Jenkins family provided an affection and warmth of domesticity that he had not had since childhood and which he was never to have again.

At Gooseberry Cottage Cezanne reigned supreme. Passmore had previously followed more closely the work of Picasso, diligently copying some of his images in pencil and emulating him in a few small paintings, but he needed something more disciplined and systematic. He began to read everything about Cezanne that he could find: two important sources where Roger Fry's study on the artist published in 1927 and Bernard Grasset's French edition of the letters published in Paris in 1937. The letters were translated by Richard Wilson who, whilst convalescing for several months from March 1939, sent them to Passmore in batches. Using the later works of Cezanne as a key, he began to paint portraits of Marjorie Jenkins and himself, landscapes within walking distance of the cottage and invented compositions with nudes in cloistered forest landscapes reminiscence of the late bathers paintings of the French master.'

RELATED WORK

Henry Gregory Gregory, Catholic clergyman and amateur artist, was born in Cheltenham in 1813. Brought up in the Benedictine order, Gregory was sent to New South Wales in 1833 with John Bede Polding, the colony's first Catholic bishop.

While the young Gregory was inexperienced and not yet ordained, he was given increasingly large responsibilities. From 1846 to 1848 he was in charge of the archdiocese while Polding was on leave, and Gregory was eventually ordained as Prior and later Abbot of St Mary's Abbey in Sydney. Skirmishes between Polding & Gregory, both Englishmen, and the large body of Irish monks, nuns and laity were frequent, and led to Gregory being recalled to England in 1861.

During his time in the Colony, Gregory made a variety of comic sketches and caricatures. Designed for publication in popular British magazines such as Colburn's New monthly, these works make up a broader series, with another example on the same theme held in the National Library of Australia.

Swainson, William John (1789-1855)
Mount Keera [sic] from Wollongong Rocks, N. S. Wales. 4 June 1852.
[Title from artist’s caption]. Graphite on paper, 140 x 210 mm, initialed in pencil l.r. ‘W. S.’, with caption in ink beneath ‘Mount Keera [sic] from Wollongong Rocks, N. S. Wales’; dated l.l. in pencil ‘4 June’ and in ink beneath ‘1852’; laid down on card and tipped onto a fully contemporary backing sheet, 275 x 420 mm; light foxing across the upper section of the drawing, otherwise very well preserved overall.
British naturalist and artist William Swainson became a member of the Linnean Society in 1815, and in the following year he joined the expedition of Henry Koster to Brazil, where he was able to collect an enormous number of important zoological and botanical specimens. In 1841 he emigrated to New Zealand, and was appointed to the committee of the New Zealand Company. He established a 300-acre estate, “Hawkshead”, in the Hutt Valley, although his ownership of the land was violently contested by local Māori in a protracted dispute. Swainson spent three years in Australia between 1851 and 1854, having been engaged by the colonial governments of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania to carry out botanical study during forestry operations. He spent the majority of his time in New South Wales, from early 1851 to early 1853; he then sketched in Victoria during the second half of 1853, and in Tasmania in the early part of 1854. Swainson died following his return to New Zealand in 1855.
A number of examples of Swainson’s sketches made in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania are held in the National Library of Australia and in the State Library of New South Wales. The Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge, holds in its Swainson Collection a huge number of ornithological, entomological and botanical specimens field-collected by him, primarily in Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. as well as a large number of his ornithological drawings, for which he is perhaps best known.

The grand story of the famous 'Birdman' John Gould and his talented wife Elizabeth, who revealed the astonishing world of Australian birds and wildlife in one of the most important naturalist expeditions in history - from the bestselling author of Sister Viv, Flinders, Banks, Mrs Kelly and The Remarkable Mrs Reibey. John and Elizabeth Gould sailed into Australia on a cold spring day in 1838 prepared for the most astonishing adventure of their lives. They had crossed three oceans from their London home to find the treasures of Australia's birdlife and showcase them to the outside world. Elizabeth had fallen pregnant for the seventh time at just 34, and there would be little rest for her in illustrating her husband's exquisite books that had made him England's celebrated 'Bird Man', and a force of nature in both science and publishing. Elizabeth had always worked in his shadow, but perhaps with his new book The Birds of Australia she would finally receive the deserved acclaim for her work. Gould had studied birds from the Galapagos Islands and helped Charles Darwin expound his controversial theory of evolution by natural selection. In Australia, with the help of Aboriginal guides, he would gaze upon a vast array of Australian wildlife which would generate huge praise and profits. The Birds of Australia would become a landmark publication and cement the reputation of the husband and wife team forever, but tragically it was one that Elizabeth would never see. This rollicking story of the astute Gould and his brilliant wife brings Elizabeth and her extraordinary talent to life - the woman behind the man and his fame - as well as the incredible array of Australian birds and wildlife that astonished the world.

Chapters:
The great southern peninsula -- First encounter and frontier wars -- Scientific racism -- Art of Arnhem land -- Art of Groote Eylandt -- Art of the central and western deserts -- Art of the Kimberley -- Resistance and innovation -- Cultural astronomy.
‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

The grand story of the famous 'Birdman' John Gould and his talented wife Elizabeth, who revealed the astonishing world of Australian birds and wildlife in one of the most important naturalist expeditions in history - from the bestselling author of Sister Viv, Flinders, Banks, Mrs Kelly and The Remarkable Mrs Reibey. John and Elizabeth Gould sailed into Australia on a cold spring day in 1838 prepared for the most astonishing adventure of their lives. They had crossed three oceans from their London home to find the treasures of Australia's birdlife and showcase them to the outside world. Elizabeth had fallen pregnant for the seventh time at just 34, and there would be little rest for her in illustrating her husband's exquisite books that had made him England's celebrated 'Bird Man', and a force of nature in both science and publishing. Elizabeth had always worked in his shadow, but perhaps with his new book The Birds of Australia she would finally receive the deserved acclaim for her work. Gould had studied birds from the Galapagos Islands and helped Charles Darwin expound his controversial theory of evolution by natural selection.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

‘‘65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art’ stares into the dark heart of Australia's brutal colonial history and offers new insights into the first art of this country.’
Long before Britain's invasion of Australia in 1788, First Peoples' cultural and design traditions flourished for thousands of generations. Their art shaped the continent as we know it today and the societies that thrived here; but these continuing artistic practices and new art forms were disregarded by the settlers, and not considered to be 'fine art' until the late 1980s.

In this publication, twenty-five writers urge us to reconsider the art history that is unique to the Australian continent and to acknowledge its rise to prominence in modern times. Featuring new writing by leading thinkers across generations and disciplines, it celebrates Indigenous Australian art across media, time and language groups.

Today Indigenous art and artists are at the forefront of contemporary art practice. In very real and tangible ways, this publication reveals the artistic brilliance of Australia's First Peoples and stands as a testament to their resilience.

This book is published in association with a major exhibition at the University of Melbourne's revitalised Potter Museum of Art, opening in 2025. Also titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition, curated by Professor Marcia Langton AO, Ms Judith Ryan AM and Ms Shanysa McConville, features over 400 artworks that celebrate the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art despite a difficult history of colonialism and scientific racism.

Reference: One O’clock Jump: British Linocuts from the Jazz Age, exhibitiobn at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, 7 December 2024 - 7 May 2025.

“Deep dive into the fascinating history of linocut printmaking, with a new exhibition at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū opening on Saturday.
Drawing its title from Count Basie’s 1937 jazz song, One O’clock Jump: British Linocuts from the Jazz Age conjures a sense of nostalgia, says Curator Peter Vangioni.
In the 1920s, linocut (also known as lino print or linoleum) emerged as a new printmaking medium, with images carved into a linoleum matrix rather than wood.
“Those who enjoyed last year's Ink on Paper, featuring Aotearoa printmaking artists, will find this exhibition equally captivating, with its focus on the rise of linocut art in Britain,” Mr Vangioni says.
“Its popularity gained momentum due to the pioneering influence of artist Claude Flight. From 1929, Flight began organising annual linocut exhibitions at London’s Redfern Gallery, which proved incredibly popular. He also taught linocutting at the progressive Grosvenor School of Modern Art, between 1926 and 1930.
“Fellow artists and teachers at the school, Sybil Andrews and Cyril Power, attended Flight’s classes and quickly joined the realm of pioneering linocut printmakers of the day. Their work features prominently in One O’clock Jump,” Mr Vangioni says.

“Early works often depicted everyday subjects and settings, such as sport and agricultural activities or modern cityscapes and speeding motor vehicles. Stylistic imagery shaped by Futurism and Cubism influences brought these ‘snapshots’ to life, with flowing forms, bold shapes and repeated patterns creating a sense of motion and energy.
“In Andrews’ Speedway and Tillers of the Soil, diagonal formations amplify the speed and power of the trios of motorcyclists and horses, while curved forms dominate in Power’s The Tube Station.
“Every artist featured in One O’clock Jump has a story that brought them into this special era of art, including three New Zealand artists – Rhona Haszard, Leslie Greener and Frank Weitzel – who all exhibited in the 2nd Annual British Linocut Exhibition in 1930 alongside Flight, Andrews, Power and many more artists. The stories of some artists, like Anne Henderson, we’ve only just unearthed, which has been fascinating,” Mr Vangioni says.
There are around 65 works in the exhibition, curated from the Gallery’s Collection, Te Papa, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Auckland Art Gallery and a private collection. 

“Extraordinarily, all but five were gifted from one man – Rex Nan Kivell.”
Born in Christchurch in 1898 and raised in New Brighton, Kivell became one of the most successful art dealers in London, running the prestigious Redfern Gallery in Mayfair from the mid-1920s to his death in 1977. Over a lifetime of collecting and dealing, Kivell made many spectacular gifts, including in 1953, when he donated 1300 British modernist prints (including linocuts) to all four of New Zealand’s major metropolitan art galleries.

Waugh Ellenview full entry
Reference: see Sydney Morning Herald article 6.12.24, p 16-17, The 99-year-oild artist and a coastal $4.9m roadblock’, by Julie Power.

Resisting offers from developers who just kept knocking, the late artist Ellen Waugh OAM agreed decades ago that Randwick City Council would be given the first right of refusal to buy her home in South Coogee after she died.
Razing her home would give the public access to the coast she loved, and bring the dream of a continuous coastal pathway along Sydney’s southern beaches from Bondi to Malabar about 650 metres and one steep hot walk closer.
Until then, though, she wasn’t leaving her home. ‘‘I love it here . . . It is my home and I could last another 20 years,’’ she said in 1997.
Asked by the Herald in 2013 about the arrangement to sell to council, Waugh declined to be identified. ‘‘I just don’t want people knocking on my door, waiting for me to die, so it can go ahead.’’
The artist and teacher lived longer than even she expected, dying six weeks before she turned 100 in January this year.
As a result of the agreement with council, the sale of the property at 49 Cuzco Street, South Coogee, for $4.9 million was finalised in November. The home was blocking access to Seaside Parade, and the walk from Coogee to Lurline Bay required a 10-minute detour up a hill to Malabar Road.
The land was rezoned from residential to recreational in 2012.
Waugh’s parents built the house in the 1930s, and she lived there ever since. It was unimproved, except they added an indoor toilet.
Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker said a walkway connection named in honour of Waugh would improve access to the Randwick City coastline for millions of people every year.
‘‘By connecting the walk between South Coogee and Lurline Bay, we’re progressing our goal of uninterrupted public access to the coastal walk,’’ he said.
Parker said Waugh was a luminary of the art scene who cared deeply for her local community. ‘‘Naming this iconic walkway after her is a fitting recognition of an extraordinary legacy.’’
Nephew Joseph Waugh said his
Joseph Waugh says of his, the late artist Ellen Waugh
aunt loved the coastline, and had been critical of previous councils that had allowed concrete and glass homes to be built on the cliffs.
‘‘We have photos in albums of her standing on cliffs that have been turned into concrete swimming pools. She loved the rock pools, and sketched them.
‘‘She had interest in conservation, and all sorts of things, like going on weeding expeditions and bush regeneration.’’
She was eccentric, a pioneer, and involved in education. She photographed the US artist Christo wrapping the cliffs of Little Bay in 1969.
A photographer from an early age, Waugh also took along her camera to document progress and produced a series of colour slides.
They are among a very few colour images of Wrapped Coast that exist and until a few years ago had never been published.
She travelled extensively, including going on an archeological dig in Uzbekistan.
‘‘Everyone needs a crazy aunt,’’ said Joseph Waugh. His fitted the bill.
As a teacher, she spotted the talent of a young Brett Whiteley.
After a lifetime of interest in Aboriginal art and culture, Waugh bequeathed shares of about $1 million to Bangarra Dance Company and of the same value to AIME Mentoring.
A collection of 279 works of art and interesting objects she had collected was recently auctioned by Theodore Bruce. She gave Grace Cossington Smith’s The Bridge in Building to the National Gallery of Australia in 2005.
Joseph Waugh said his aunt stayed active until the last six months of her life.
‘‘She kept a diary . . . And there wasn’t a day when she wasn’t doing something. Sketching groups and life drawing classes . . . She took up Chinese brush painting, took up drums.
‘‘She took her sketchbook everywhere,’’ he said. ‘‘Right to the last couple of years, she was dragging carers down to walk with her. According to bank statements, she was having coffee with them at Wylie’s Baths.’’
She defied expectations of ageing. ‘‘People would jump to conclusions thinking she couldn’t do things. She refused to accept her limitations.’’
When she visited China in 2011, she was bemused by airport porters pushing wheelchairs at her. They told her she walked like a 60-year-old.
After an operation, she was sent to an aged care facility for rehabilitation. She discharged herself, walking out the door and returning home.
As she wished, Waugh died at home in the room next to the one where her mother had died.
The Ellen Waugh walkway will take the city a bit closer to realising the dream of an uninterrupted coastal walk from Bondi to Malabar.x

Reference: The Diaries of Fred Williams 1963–1970, by
Patrick McCaughey.
‘A generous and insightful glimpse into the private life and creative process of a giant of Australian landscape painting
Fred Williams kept a daily diary from 1963 until his death in 1982. Disciplined and meticulous, he recorded life in the studio, family life and his contact with artists, dealers and the art world-a page per day. At the beginning and end of each year, Williams would reflect on his progress, noting the ups and downs and plan for the coming year. The diaries contain studied reflections on his own art and offer an intimate picture of a major Australian artist at work. He maps out his work-small representations of what will become notable and important artworks-and makes comments about his contemporaries, with the occasional sharp judgement and snatch of art-world gossip, all notably without malice. The 1960s were crucial years for Williams. He moved from being a well-regarded painter to becoming a major Australian artist. Colour reproductions of his extraordinary paintings reveal their evolution and the struggles behind their making in his studio. The Diaries of Fred Williams is a generous and insightful glimpse into the private life and creative process of a giant of Australian landscape painting.’

Reference: Nolan’s Africa, by Andrew Turley.
‘Journey with Sidney Nolan from Auschwitz to Africa in this richly illustrated monograph
Australia thinks it knows Sidney Nolan. But that is far from the truth. Nolan's Africa looks at the artist in a way that he has never been looked at before. Andrew Turley takes readers on a journey from the United Nations Headquarters in New York to a suspected assassination on the Congo border, from the crematoria of Auschwitz to the formation of the World Wildlife Fund and on to the plains of the Serengeti. He walks in Nolan's footsteps across Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia, seeing the world through the artist's eyes. Written over twelve years and across three continents, this is the first book based on the newly opened Sidney Nolan Archives at the National Library of Australia, containing never-before-seen diaries, photographs and personal notes. The result is a rich narrative that weaves together art, adventure, philosophy, global politics and world history. Artistic influences and processes, breathtaking in their scope, are laid bare as the thoughtful balance of text and images urges readers to consider the effect that the Holocaust, animal extinctions, colonial disenfranchisement and human conflict had on the artist and society. Full of energy, texture and colour, Nolan's Africa is a compelling picture of one of the most complex and famous painters of the twentieth century, shining new light on his examination of nature, human nature and the nature of modern civilisation.’
Andrew Turley is a researcher, writer, curator and authority on iconic Australian artist Sidney Nolan. He has dedicated the last twelve years to unearthing the unknown histories of the artist's culturally significant mid-twentieth century works, including Auschwitz, the Adelaide Ladies and now Africa. His essays, interviews, book extracts and exhibitions have been published in The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, the National Portrait Gallery, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and by London’s ArtLyst. His published work is held in the Tate, the National Library of Australia, MONA and many state galleries and libraries.

‘This is a vision of summertime, but not one you have seen before.
With this unique project, Saville Coble takes us on a personal journey that stretches from the ever changing chaos of city beaches to the peaceful and serene seaside towns of Victoria. From bustling urban shores to wild and rugged seascapes of the southern peninsula, it is a personal snapshot of a Victorian summer from many viewpoints.
While all summers are special in their own way, this one was different. This was the summer we needed after battling bushfires, floods and a pandemic. This last summer came at a time when everyone was exhausted and desperate to get back to the beach and bask in the sensuality of the season.
While some images radiate with the power of the baking sun casting deep summer shadows, others offer a wistful, lyrical interpretation of the coast and its many waterways, all of them transporting us back to the summer of 2022.
Summertime is a quiet reflection of the season and a time when Victoria emerged from the challenges and lockdowns of the previous years into the golden light of summer once again.’ – Tacit Art website

Both Watling and Glover struggled to reconcile the Australian landscape with the confines of the picturesque, the dominant landscape aesthetic of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. Ironically, Watling, the convict, who rebelled against the idea of empire in his letters, ended up portraying Australia in picturesque ways, even though the picturesque was in effect the visual language of the colonizers. Glover, on the other hand, glorified and profited from the empire, but in the process of embracing Australia found himself on several occasions rejecting the picturesque as a means of painting the landscape. In the end, for both men, the picturesque mediated their possibilities of escape: Watling from his convict status, Glover from England and an art market in which he had secured financial success but not critical acclaim. Their experiences, therefore, raise questions about what it means to escape pictorially, and how art can facilitate - or limit - the possibilities of escape.

Australian Women’s Weekly Portrait Prize 1957view full entry
Reference: T H E AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY
PORTRAIT PRIZE FOR 1957. Includes 50 ehibits.
F O R E WORD
In the comparatively short period of
three years since its inception, The Australian Women's Weekly Portrait
Prize has become widely known throughout the world, and an important
annual event in Australian art circles.
Each year increasing numbers of
overseas artists are sending in entries. Many, who competed unsuccessfully
last year, have submitted paintings again for this year's Prize.
The international basis on which the
4 Prize was initially established has been welcomed by artists both in
Australia and overseas, and has proved to be a valuable international art
link.
Australians, in particular, isolated
from important art circles abroad, have been stimulated by overseas
competition.
They have also welcomed the oppor-
tunity, through our travelling exhibition of entries, of having their work
become more widely known throughout Australia.
The Portrait Prize has also fulfilled
one of our original hopes. Judging from letters received, it has led to
commissions for a number of competitors.
In conclusion, we would like to record
sadly the death in Sydney on July 18, 1957, of Charles Doutney, the
winner of the main award in our 1956 Portrait Prize. He had suffered
from a rare blood disease for many years.

Reference: Commonplace album of Emma Juana Balcombe (Reid), of “The Briars”, Mornington, Victoria. 1860s-80s. Quarto (290 x 240 mm), lacking the upper board, but retaining the original elaborately tooled leather lower board and backstrip; approximately [70] leaves of paper in a variety of colours, containing more than
30 original pencil sketches and watercolour drawings by amateur artist Emma Juana Balcombe (Mrs Alexander Beatson Balcombe), including studies of native flowers, butterflies, bush scenes and small portraits, plus a mounted albumen print portrait photograph (150 x 120 mm) of Emma Juana, probably taken in the early 1870s; there are also several poems by Dryden, Byron, Wordsworth, Longfellow and Robert Lynd (the ballad Leichhardt’s Grave), written out from memory by Emma Juana and her family and friends, the earliest dated 1861; loosely inserted are a small number of pressed gum leaves and ferns, and a few engravings; although the binding is defective, the album’s contents are overall very well preserved and free from foxing.
This charming colonial commonplace album provides a unique insight into the private intellectual and artistic world of an educated woman who was a member of Melbourne’s social elite.
Emma Juana, daughter of  Dr. David Reid, RN, arrived in New South Wales as an infant in 1823. Her father first settled with his family at Inverary, near Goulburn, and later moved to the Monaro district. In 1841 Emma married wealthy St. Helena-born pastoralist Alexander Beatson Balcombe, of “The Briars” homestead, Mornington, Victoria. In later life she resided at Eastcourt, George Street, East Melbourne.
Provenance: Emma Juana Balcombe (Reid) (1823-1907), of “The Briars”, Mornington, Victoria; her daughter, Jane Emma Murphy (Balcombe) (1854-1924); thence by descent through the à Beckett family, Melbourne.

Podmore Georgeview full entry
Reference: reference in research by Sarah Staveley (for Stephen Scheding) on poet Arthur Maquarie: ... Arthur Maquarie was born Arthur Frank Macquarie Mullens in Dubbo, New South Wales on 30 November 1874.

His father, Joseph Mullens (1843-1914), originally from Esher in Surrey, had emigrated to New South Wales as an eighteen year old in 1862, where he received theological training at the first campus of Moore College, in Liverpool. Ordained as a priest by Bishop Frederic Barker in 1869, The Reverend Joseph Mullens thereafter established himself as a pioneering, evangelistic clergyman of the Church of England’s Sydney Diocese.
Arthur’s mother, the former Mira Margaret Podmore (1846-1931) had emigrated to Australia from England with her family as a child, in 1858. Her eldest brother, George Podmore (1829-1916) was the well-known colonial Australian painter.
Arthur’s parents married on 2 January 1872 in Rylstone, New South Wales, the first parish to which his newly ordained father was posted. Dubbo was subsequently added to the Reverend Joseph Mullens’ responsibilities.
Arthur was born in Dubbo, his middle name likely a homage to the Macquarie River that flows through his birthplace...

ENARD Colette (1918-2016)
Portrait of children
Oil on panel
Signed lower left
82.5 x 59 cm
Framed piece

Note: Having always wanted to be a painter, Colette Enard trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, then moved to Paris, which she left during the war. She painted many portraits and carried out a number of commissions. In the '50s, she left for Australia, which at the time had a high demand for emigrants. This trip was misunderstood. Following family traumas, she suffered the after-effects of therapeutic trials that were still groping their way through, and felt psychologically diminished. Painting enabled her to resurface. She exhibited in Royan, at the home of her ceramist friend Cécile Midas, then throughout France and abroad. She received flattering reviews and the support of André Breton, but stopped painting in 1964, notably for lack of the financial means to exhibit. She tried her hand at creating tapestry cartoons, which required a drawing, followed by meticulous quantification of the color zones.
She has won several awards for her work and taken part in a program for the conservation of rare crafts.
Colette Enard is a member of Expo 5, a collective of Charente-Maritime artists who decided to exhibit together from 1963.

Harrison Florence Susan view full entry
Reference: see Wikipedia - Florence Susan Harrison (1877–1955) was an Australian illustrator of poetry and children's books in Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite styles. Many of her books were published by Blackie and Son. She illustrated books by Pre-Raphaelite circle poets Christina Rossetti, William Morris and Sir Alfred Tennyson.
Harrison has often been confused with Emma Florence Harrison, an English artist who exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1887.[1][2]
Florence Harrison was born in Brisbane, Australia, in 1877 to Lucy and Norwood Harrison. From 1922, she lived in the London area. Around 1940 she moved to Brighton, England, to live with her cousin Isobel. She remained there until her death in 1955.[3]

BIOGRAPHY

"Thomas Wingate was born on 9 March 1807 in Verdun, France where his father, Lieutenant (later Commander) George Thomas Wingate RN, was a prisoner of war from 1806 till 1813/14. He was the second of 5 children born to Lt. G. T. Wingate and his wife Thomzin Devonshire; the 4 youngest were all born in Verdun whilst their father was a POW. All 5 children were christened in Stirling, Scotland, in 1815 following their father's release from captivity.
The British Army lists give the information that Thomas Wingate purchased an ensigncy on 13 May 1826 in the 7th Regiment of Foot (Ross-shire Buffs) and served in Ceylon from October 1828 till November 1832. He obtained his Lieutenancy 13 May 1830. Around the beginning of July 1833, Thomas was back in Stirling where he transferred to the 2nd Regiment of Foot (Queens Royal) on 8 November 1833.
Thomas Wingate was in London in April 1834, then served in India from March
1835 - January 1842. These dates fit in with the assumption that he was in Sydney in late 1834. The "Henry Tanner" arrived Sydney on 26 October 1834, having sailed from London on 1 July. It carried 220 male prisoners, and a guard consisting of Capt Patterson, 6th Regt; Lt Wingate, 2nd Regt; 30 rank and file of the 50th Regt. This could feasibly be Thomas en route to India – it was not uncommon for soldiers to travel to India via Australia as guards on convict ships. He was the only Wingate in the 2nd Foot, and the only Thomas Wingate listed in the Army at this time.
The "Henry Tanner" departed Sydney for Madras on 1 January 1835, carrying horses for the HEIC. Passengers included Capt Patterson, as well as other army officers and their families. No Lt Wingate appears on passenger lists, however the lists vary from source to source, and may be incomplete. The only other likely vessels departing for India around this time were the "Royal Saxon", which left for Madras and Calcutta on 5 March, with passengers Miss Catherine Cooney and one child; and HMS Alligator, which sailed for Madras on 27 November 1834.
Lt. T. Wingate saw active service in India (and Afghanistan) during the Ghuznee campaign on 23 July 1839. Wingate was a talented artist and prepared a series of lithographs depicting many aspects of this short campaign including the storming columns entering the fortress of Ghuznee. On 13 November 1839 he commanded the leading company of the advance on Khelat.
In December 1841 Thomas was a Brevet Captain in HM 2nd Foot at Poona, and was granted two years leave of absence to England for the recovery of health,. This was promptly cancelled and Wingate was called upon to explain a line of conduct so much at variance with Military discipline. The weekly report of the Brigade Major Queens Troops had revealed that Wingate had proceeded from Bombay to Poona without leave, merely reporting his departure to the Brigade Major in a letter, which he received after Wingate had gone on what he termed a Medical Certificate. His leave was reinstated in January 1842, his explanation having been satisfactory, "although an irregularity has been committed". Thomas proceeded to England on the Medical Certificate, however, having declared his intention to retire from the service, he was to be responsible for the payment of the passage to India of the Officer who may succeed to his Commission in case he should quit the service, exchange to another Corps or to Half-Pay.
At the beginning of March 1843, Wingate, still a Lieutenant in the 2nd Queen's Royal Regiment, was back at Stirling, and was appointed to the Recruiting Service at Glasgow. He remained there until November 1844, when he requested to be relieved from the Recruiting Service. Lt Campbell of the 83rd was appointed in his place at Glasgow from 1 December. Wingate was granted leave of absence from 11 November 1844 - 31 January 1845, "by which time it is expected that he will return to his Regimental Duty". From December 1844 till December 1845 he remained listed on the strength of the 2nd, but no longer on the Recruiting Service. He must have been somewhere around Brompton at the end of April 1845, as he was invited to a dance at the Brompton Barracks by the Royal Engineers.
At the end of March 1846 he was promoted to Captain in the 2nd, "without purchase", in lieu of the deceased Captain Carney. Captain Thomas Wingate retired from the 2nd (The Queen's Royal) Regiment of Foot on 9 June 1846.
There is then a blank in Wingate's whereabouts until 1852 with the arrival in Sydney of the "Havering" and the mysterious Captain Wingate in February, and a watercolour on the Murrumbidgee in September (is this a potential link to him visiting with his sister Elizabeth). He is easier to track later in the 1850s, largely courtesy of the NSW Volunteer Rifles. (Wingate gave evidence to an 1855 Select Committee on the Volunteer Corps Act of 1854, which gives a good picture of their operation). Around September 1854, when he received his commission as Major in the Sydney Volunteer Rifles, Thomas, whose profession was given as "Gentleman", resided at 55 Botany Street, Surry Hills. He subsequently moved to 2 Woolloomooloo Street, then No 3 Lower Fort.
In 1854 Thomas Wingate was commissioned Major and was appointed the first Commanding Officer of the 1st NSW Rifle Volunteers. He married Eleanor Terry and lived at Potts Point.
Eleanor Terry (nee Rouse) was born in NSW 13 May 1813, the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Rouse. She married (i) John Terry (1806-42) and (ii) Major Thomas Wingate in 1857. She died in May 1898 and he in 1869. They lived at Percy Lodge, Wylde Street, Potts Point, Sydney. (see SAMUEL TERRY by Gwyneth M Dow, 1974)."

Gordon Coutts (Scottish, 1868-1937). Oil on canvas, n.d. Signed at lower right. A beautiful painting by Scottish artist Gordon Coutts featuring a charming view of two horses tethered before a colonnaded edifice furnished with a Spanish tile roof in the evening hours. Warm lamplight glows through a lattice window to the right, and a vermilion glow radiates from an archway to the left that houses a pair of pottery vessels on a low stoop. Tall blossoming wild flowers and tufts of grasses grace the land in the foreground, and tranquil clouds float in the sapphire blue skies above. All is rendered with Coutts' skillful brushwork and keen eye for color and light. Size (painting): 28.25" L x 38.125" W (71.8 cm x 96.8 cm) Size: 35.625" L x 45.4" W (90.5 cm x 115.3 cm)

About the artist: "He was born in the Old Machar district of Aberdeen, Scotland, to a father who gave him a sound trouncing when he was nine for skipping church services so he could complete a sketch. Gordon ran away to Glasgow, where he could study photography and drawing at the Glasgow School of Art, and it was in Glasgow that he met the Irish artist John Lavery, who became his friend and mentor.

In the late 1880s, Gordon followed his brother David to Australia, where they ran a business creating art miniatures in Melbourne. Gordon studied three years at the National Gallery of Victoria art school where he won Honorable Mention for his painting Too Late in the school's Traveling Artist Scholarship Competition in 1893.

At the National Gallery of Victoria, among his teachers was L. Bernard Hall, who would run the gallery and school for the next several decades. Gordon was also influenced by the Heidelberg School, with whom he exhibited. Frederick McCubbin, a principal Heidelberg artist, was a Master Instructor at the NGV and also a teacher of Gordon.

During the 1890s, Gordon earned his living with portrait commissions, including the Prime Minister of Victoria, before being appointed Instructor at the Government Art School in Sydney in 1896 where he taught painting until 1899. In 1902, Gordon set sail for San Francisco, where he married artist Alice Hobbs, who was a painter of miniatures, and of Indian children in the manner of Grace Hudson. They survived the 1906 earthquake and built a house/studio in Piedmont, across the bay.

Gordon was a member of the Bohemian Club in San Francisco and exhibited there regularly, as well as at Gump's and the Schussler Gallery, sometimes with Alice. They both illustrated covers for Sunset magazine, and Gordon also illustrated poems and short stories, while doing Marin County landscapes and portrait commissions. Around 1910, he and Alice started traveling abroad regularly. They maintained a studio in Paris, and visited various art colonies. Gordon was enrolled in the Academie Julian under Fran?ois Flemeng and Adolphe Dechenaud, and had paintings accepted at the Paris salon, including Preparatifs pour le Bal des Quat'z-Arts. But in 1914, WWI obliged the couple to withdraw to the relative safety of their Piedmont home. But Gordon had left unfinished business on the Continent, as well as various paintings and belongings, and, despite the war, in 1916 he decided to return there. Alice declined to go along, and divorced him in 1917, retaining the Piedmont house. 1918 found Gordon in Pasadena, California, where he met Gertrude Russell, a music teacher. They married and spent the next several years living and painting in Spain, where daughter Jeane was born, and then in Morocco. During this time, annual trips to Britain were made to exhibit Gordon's Orientalist landscapes and portraits at the Royal Academy and other galleries. But living abroad was exhausting, and the family moved to Mexico where they spent a year near and around the capital. Gordon painted the local people, their cathedrals, and their street markets.

Gordon's bronchial troubles required attention, and in late 1925 the family moved to California. Discovering Palm Springs, and its healthful climate, they had a gallery/studio/home built there in the style of a North African villa they named 'Dar Morroc.' For the next several years the family used their new home as a base for painting excursions around California, the American Southwest, and Mexico. They even traveled as far as Australia in 1927 where Gordon had a retrospective exhibition.

For Gordon Coutts, as for many artists, the Great Depression brought about hard times. Though no longer traveling on account of his health, Gordon continued to paint, and daughter Mary was added to the family. But sales had completely disappeared. Exhibitions in Palm Springs, and at the famous Stendahl Galleries in Los Angeles, could spark little interest in his once popular art. Even a long visit by his good friend (the now Sir) John Lavery, for several winter weeks in 1936, could not revive his flagging health and in early 1937 he succumbed to heart failure at 71." (source: artist's website)

Note: The subject matter and the setting of this painting is very similar to a painting by Coutts that sold a John Moran on October 22, 2013, lot 139, for $33,000

In May 2024 the artist Rosemary Laing left this world, and a body of work that makes us view our world differently, makes us question what we have done to our land and our environment, and makes us wonder and to strive, like she did, to make changes. Rosemary was one of our most significant artists - someone whose imagery I so greatly admired and who I liked enormously and enjoyed working with. Our great loss is we will never see what could have been. 
We are presenting five of her works, drawn from private collections, from arguably her most important series. This exhibition coincides with a small tribute exhibition to Rosemary Laing to be held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney from mid February 2025.

Terry Frederick Casemero biographyview full entry
Reference: Information from Day Gallery, Blackheath, NSW: Frederick Casemero Terr, Birds Eye View of Sydney Harbour c1858
Lithograph printed in black ink, hand coloured
Published by Allen and Wigley, Sydney
Housed in an ornate restored frame c 1890
35.5 x 84 cm.
This rare view of the city and harbour was taken from a viewpoint at the top of St James’s Church. It provides a unique view of many of the important buildings in Sydney, specifically on Macquarie Street. The Empire newspaper reviewed the large print in an article dated 10th June 1858, stating that the work was “very distinct” and conveyed “some idea of the land we live in”
Birth/Family
Frederick Casemero Terry (1825-1869), artist and engraver, (watercolourist, illustrator, etcher and drawing teacher) was born in Great Marlow, Buckinghamshire, England.
He is the third son (fifth child) of Henry Terry, language teacher, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and his wife Isabella, née Clark.
Education/ Early Work
Educated in Switzerland, he arrived in Sydney in the early 1850s.
His earliest known extant work, is a watercolour view of ‘Point Piper, Sydney’ dated 10 April 1852, by which time he seems to have been resident in Sydney. He was certainly living there by August 1853, when he exhibited View of Sydney Harbour, Taken from Ball’s Head at the Victorian Fine Arts Society’s exhibition in Melbourne.
Other early works include 'Sydney from the Old Point Piper Road' (1852), 'Sydney Cove from Fort Macquarie' (1853).
Soon accepted as a thoroughly professional water-colour artist, he did some of his own engraving.
Exhibitions/Prizes/Work
 In 1854 the Sydney publisher John Sands commissioned a series of sketches from Terry, principally views of Sydney and the harbour. Thirty-eight were engraved on steel in London and issued at Sydney in 1855 as Landscape Scenery, Illustrating Sydney, Paramatta, Richmond, Maitland, Windsor and Port Jackson, New South Wales (also known as The Australian Keepsake).
 In 1854 he submitted a design for a medal to the New South Wales commissioners for the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition. He won second prize of five guineas and a five-guinea bonus for the exquisite finish of his design. One of the medals as produced, with Terry’s design on the verso, is in the Mitchell Library.
In 1855 he was represented at the Paris exhibition with five other Australian artists. It was the first time that Australian paintings had hung in an important overseas display.
His watercolour View of Botany Bay was presented to the French government by the New South Wales government, after being exhibited in Sydney and Paris, and now hangs in the Marine Museum, Paris.
(The watercolour, now titled Tombeau du Père Receveur Botany Bay, is held at the Musée de la Marine, Paris; the tree-stump, returned to New South Wales in 1988 as a French bicentennial gift, is at the La Perouse Museum, Sydney.)
Some of Terry's engravings were published by Sands and Kenny as the Australian Keepsake (1855). The volume contained scenes of 'Port Jackson', 'Pinch Gut', 'The Gap, South Head', Sydney's streets, fruit markets and churches as well as country views of Richmond, Windsor and East and West Maitland.
In January 1857 Terry exhibited Pic-nic Party, Middle Harbour in the Further Exhibition of the Society for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Australia, which was held in the Mechanics' School of Arts, Sydney.
By 1860 he was recognized as one of the best colonial painters. About that year another small volume appeared as The Parramatta River Illustrated with six prints. By 1861 he had become examiner of a drawing class established at the Mechanics' School of Arts in 1859.
Terry sought other ways of making money, including designing the covers for popular sheet-music. He executed the covers for The Maude Waltzes, 'as played by the Band of the 77th Regiment' and The Darling Point Polka. He later collaborated with Edmund Thomas to illustrate pieces in The Australian Musical Album for 1863.
In 1863, Terry moved his studio and residence to Alma Street, Newtown, and advertised that he would also conduct both day and evening drawing classes at the School of Arts, Balmain.
In August 1864, he issued a series of eight copperplate etchings illustrating various views of Sydney Harbour, described as having the appearance of pen-and-ink work.
The Bush Track was exhibited at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867, the year Terry was appointed drawing master at the Sydney Mechanics School of Arts. The following March the committee decided that Terry had resigned 'in consequence of his non-attendance’ and took steps to find another teacher. By then he must have been ill as well as impoverished.
Name
Terry’s middle name is difficult to settle. An engraver's error had resulted in Terry's name being incorrectly recorded throughout as 'Fleury'. The C in his name is referred to sometimes as Clark, from his mother’s family, and Charles was also used, but Terry seems to have preferred the exotic Casemero or Cassinis.
Paintings
Terry painted local watercolour views, such as King Street, Sydney Looking West, 1853 , and made occasional sketching tours to Newcastle.
His paintings were almost entirely views of Sydney and its environs and were painstaking in detail. Almost every work included people, animals, birds and some form of activity. Historically pictorial, they give an excellent record of life in the city.
Newspapers
Terry did a considerable amount of work for illustrated newspapers, journals and books during the 1850s, especially the Illustrated Sydney News. His view of the 1854 Australian Museum Exhibition showing in great detail the interior of the Museum Exhibition Hall with the exhibits in place was drawn after a daguerreotype by James Gow, lithographed by John Degotardi and published as a separate print. He was also a paid contributor to Melbourne Punch. In 1863 the Sydney Morning Herald reviewed a large watercolour by Terry of a picnic at Captain Cook’s landing place. A lengthy review in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1866 stated that Terry’s watercolour of Port Jackson in an approaching storm reflected credit on all colonial art and artists.
Death
Aged 44, Terry died on 10 August 1869 of effusion of the brain at his residence in Alma Street, Newtown. He was buried in the Camperdown cemetery. Despite Terry having dominated the exhibition scene throughout the 1850s and 1860s, he had found it hard to make a living. He had married Margaret Jane Reynolds (d.1862) on 14 July 1858.
His wife died of Consumption. (8th April 1862- Sydney Morning Herald PAGE 7 19TH April 1862)
Representation of the artist
His work is represented in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Mitchell and Dixson libraries, Sydney, and the National Library of Australia, Canberra.

Born in 1943, ‘Clem’ was a Sydney based artist for most of her life before moving
to the Blue Mountains in 1994. She passed away in 2003. She studied at East
Sydney Tech and was influenced from the outset by artists who roamed across
different media, and whose practice involved constant innovation and reinvention:
Sonia Delaunay, Henri Matisse, et al. Her early art, produced in often pared-down
studio spaces in Sydney, London and Amsterdam, ranged from jigsaws to clocks,
murals, armchairs and paper cut-outs; and her painting materials were mostly
house paint and plywood. Her silkscreen work included not only prints but also
calendars and political posters. Later she made clothes and costumes, and her
art became a business – a shop in Oxford Street Paddington that captured
something quintessential about Sydney’s heady, hedonistic early-1980s.
Catalogue note from a small retrospective exhibition held in
2017.
Clem Weight is a strange absence in the records of Australian women’s
art and design. Her influences were seamlessly assimilated and applied
to the tensions of her times with a distinctly local sense of content and
motif. Landscapes and causes surface powerfully but always with a
sense of colour and movement that dispels anything shrill or strident.
Did these wonderful things on paper simply vanish after use? They were
certainly popular at the time, though only ever produced at a cottage
industry scale. The same may be said of the rag books listed below.

Where: The University of Sydney Library - Fisher Library (Google Map Link)
Time: 10:45 AM arrival for 11:00 AM start.
Join co-curator Hector Abrahams for an introduction and guided tour of this exhibition. Learn about intellectual artistic life in Sydney in the years up to 1924, of which Wilson was part. As well as documenting early Australian architecture and antecedents, it also includes some historic garden recording, in how settings are presented, and buildings framed.

Hardy Wilson was born at Campbelltown, in 1881, great grandson of early NSW colonist Caleb Wilson. He attended Newington College, where he captained the First XV Rugby team and was awarded the School Drawing Prize. He went on to study at the Sydney Technical College. 

After early work with architects Kent & Budden, in 1905 Wilson embarked on a long period abroad, developing his artistic technique. He travelled extensively in Italy and the United States, returning to Sydney in 1910, primed to embark on his architectural career. Wilson completed a string of houses in Sydney in coming years, including Merion for artist Lionel Lindsay, in Wahroonga (1911); Eryldene Gordon for linguist, literary scholar and camellia enthusiast Prof. E.B. Waterhouse (1913: with famed garden); and his own house, Purulia, Wahroonga (1916).

In 1912, Wilson began a decade-long project recording Australia’s early colonial architecture, culminating in 1924’s Old Colonial Architecture in New South Wales and Tasmania. Precursors were a 1919 Anthony Hordern’s department store exhibition of his drawings, 1920 publication of The Old Cow Pasture Road, with some work in it. A 1921 trip to Asia (China via Borneo and the Philippines) was influential. In 1923 the Victoria & Albert Museum in London exhibited a selection of drawings from his project. He had hoped for a London publisher: not to be.

Lees Derwent view full entry
Reference: see John McDonald blog 14.2.2025:
More adventures in art history are to be found in Adelaide, where Henry R. Lew, a prolific, amateur art historian, has spent years fuming that Carrick Hill has reattributed a painting by the Australian artist, Derwent Lees (1884-1931), to Welshman, J.D. Innes (1887-1914). This may seem a trivial issue to some readers, but it has rendered Lew incandescent with indignation.
To understand his outrage, one must first understand that Lew is by profession, an ophthalmologist, who has researched, written and self-published a succession of art history books because of his passion for the subject. He is a maverick in the field, not associated with any institution. The suspicion arises that his outsider status renders him suspect with professional curators, directors and managers of museums and galleries.
His concern is that a work in the Carrick Hill collection, Derwent Lees’s Chateau Royal, Collioure (1913), which appears on the cover of his book, In Search of Derwent Lees (1996), and is in his opinion, “perhaps the best painting in the entire collection”, is no longer attributed to the artist. The reattribution was made by British art historian, John Hoole, who in 2013 published a catalogue raisonné of J.D. Innes, who died at the age of 28. Both Lees and Innes were protégés of Augustus John, and knew each other well.
Lew points out that the reattribution of two paintings was made on the basis of their being unsigned. Chateau Royal, Collioure (1913), was not only reattributed, it was retitled Fishing boats, Collioure, and redated to 1911.
Lew is flabbergasted that Hoole has never actually laid eyes on these paintings, knowing them only from photographs and entries in exhibition catalogues. If this were the sole point of contention it should set off alarm bells. Leigh Capel’s argument about Ethel Carrick (Fox) is grounded in careful first-hand examination of her works, while the crazy scandal of 2022, in which journalist Gabriella Coslovich accused the NMA of accepting a dud painting by Rover Thomas, drew on testimony from five “experts” who had never seen the actual painting.
In matters of attribution, there is no substitute for the first-hand examination of a picture.
Accordingly, in 2015, Carrick Hill asked local curator and art historian, Jane Hylton, to look at the reattribution. She did so and affirmed Innes as the artist. Lew asks, with barely concealed impatience, how Hylton, known for her work on Australian women artists, could have sufficient familiarity with the works of Lees and Innes to contradict his years of painstaking research.
He says he is frustrated by the reluctance of the Carrick Hill authorities to allow him to discuss and debate this matter with Jane Hylton. He has also approached John Hoole, who is equally unwilling to debate the attribution in a public forum. I spoke with Hylton, who has retired from curatorship and art consultancy, and is now working as an artist in her own right. While she has no desire to get back into the ring, Hylton says she supported the attribution to Innes on stylistic grounds, and because the original purchase documentation pointed in that direction. She also says that when she put the two artists’ work side-by-side, the painting looked so much more like Innes “it wasn’t even funny”. She has no regrets about her decision but says if the opposite case can be proven that’s fine.
This will not satisfy Lew, who, as an ophthalmologist, has perceptual evidence to back up his case, in the “Hubel and Wiesel” technique he has championed in at least two volumes. I’m not about to enter into the technical side of the discussion but his point is that certain artists can be distinguished by their manner of laying down painted lines to create a more vivid illusion of life. Lew notes that Hals and Velazquez are such artists, as is Derwent Lees, but Innes is not. The case is made, exhaustively, in his books, Australian Genesis and Exodus (2023) and Imaging the World (2018).
By this point you’re probably wondering is Lew is the real deal, or one of those obsessive ratbags with a theory, who is the dread of every museum director. He’s certainly a man obsessed, but he has such a weight of evidence and argument on his side that it seems impossible to blandly dismiss his claims. On what basis? That he’s an amateur art historian? That John Hoole is English, and therefore more likely to be correct? That Jane Hylton, as a former curator at the Art Gallery of South Australia, has better professional credentials? It may come down to a simple matter of perception. Hylton looks at a painting and sees Innes, Lew sees only Lees. Are the eye-doctor’s perceptions reliable? Can the mind shape what the eye has grown accustomed to seeing?
Reattributions have powerful knock-on effects for an artist’s reputation, their place in art history, and their auction prices. The NMA conducted a comprehensive investigation into Gabi Coslovich’s dubious accusations about Rover Thomas, which carried on beyond the point when it was obvious there was nothing fishy about the bequest. Even if Carrick Hill believes Henry Lew to be nothing but a pest, they need to broach his accusations with equal seriousness and settle this matter once and for all. Art history is too important to be treated in a careless fashion, allowing the truth to be whatever one prefers, rather than the result of thorough research and debate.
In politics, and most other walks of life, we’ve developed the appalling habit of just going along with whatever we like, rather than what we know to be true. The rot should not be allowed to seep into the data bases of our museums, where information must always take precedence over opinion.

‘... The announcement on February 7 of Sabsabi and Dagostino was widely celebrated as creatively bold and inclusive.
On Thursday, opposition arts spokesperson, Claire Chandler, questioned Sabsabi’s selection in the Senate. She cited a 2007 work that featured Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and said the artist had made work “promoting” Osama bin Laden.
In a statement released on Thursday night, Creative Australia said Sabsabi and Dagostino would no longer represent Australia at the biennale....’
Art Society of New South Wales 1893 meetingview full entry
Reference: from The Australian Star, Wed 11 Oct 1893, p2, from Trove:
THE ART SOCIETY.
ANOTHER SPECIAL
MEETING.
A special general meeting of the Art
Society of New South Wales will be held
this evening to consider certain proposed
alterations in the society's rules. The
object of the meeting is stated in the requisi-
tion as follows : -
Sydney, September 11, 1893.
The president and members of the council
of the Art Society of New South Wales.
Gentlemen, — As it appears to us very
evident that if something is not quickly
done to heal the breach which has made
itself manifest in the Art Society of New
South Wales it will widen, and possibly
cause the collapse of the society in the near
future, we, having the best interests of the
society at heart, deem it advisable that the
members of the society shall be called
together as soon as possible, and that some
plan should be put before them whereby
such a lamentable result may be averted.
In taking this course we wish to point
out that all this ill-feeling, which has made
itself only too apparent within the society,
has been brought about by the council at-
tempting to force the voting on Mr. Full-
wood's proposals to be taken in such a
manner us to render the voting thereon illegal
and ultra vires, and also by taking other
measures which were entirely unbecoming
to your dignity as councillors charged with
the management of the society according to
rules laid down for your guidance.
Though we are legally advised that the
proceedings of the meeting, after the chair
man left the chair, were entirely in order,
and that Mr. Fullwood's proposals, having
been carried, are now part of the bylaws,
yet we do not wish to take advantage
of such power, as we recognise that
the number of members who voted
(unanimously) on that occasion, viz.,
50, are not a sufficiently representative
number. We consider the change in
the constitution of the society, as set
forth in Mr. Fullwood's resolutions, a very
important one, and one on which it is ex-
ceedingly advisable that every member of
the society should, if possible, record his
vote. This can only be done in a proper
and constitutional manner, and as the rules
stand at present the question can only be
decided by a vote at the meeting assembled
for the purpose.
We respectfully request the council of the
Art Society of New South Wales to call
together a special general meeting of the
society, for the purpose of enabling a vote
to be taken by ballot on Mr. Fullwood's
motion, at which meeting the following
resolutions will be moved : —
" 1, That rule 41 be amended by adding
after the last word 'division' the following
words : — ' Provided that if the meeting so
decide a ballot shall be taken on the ques-
tion submitted on the following day (not
being a Sunday or public holiday) between
the hours of 10 and 8.'"
"2. Mr. Fullwood's resolutions — The
alteration of rule 17 articles of association,
and bylaws 5 and (1, and the substitution of
the following : — 1. The society shall consist
of exhibiting and non-exhibiting members ;
2. Any member exhibiting at an exhibition
of the society shall be an exhibiting mem-
ber, and shall have a vote for three (3) years;
exhibiting members shall alone be entitled
to vote at any meeting of the society, except
as provided by proposed rule five (5) ;
exhlbiting membors shall alone be eligible
as office-bearers (president and treasurer
excepted); any exhibiting member failing
three (3) times in succession to exhibit as
the ordinary exhibition of the society shall
be disqualified from serving as member of
council for the current year, or until he or
she becomes an exhibitor; all members shall
be entitled to free admission to all exhibi-
tions and entertainments of the society,
3. The president, vice-president, hon.
treasurer, and ordinary mombers of the
council shall hold office for two (2) years,
provided that the first councillors elected
under the provisions of these bylaws— six
(0) — shall be elected for the period one (1)
year only, and the councillors to hold office
for one (1) year shall be those six (6) who
received the least number of votes at the
election. In all cases of an equality of
votes the determination shall be by lot.
4. The council shall have power to rele-
gate any part of its functions to a com-
mittee or committees appointed by them,
either wholly or partly from among them-
selves or from members of the society,
either exhibiting or non-exhibiting. (5.)
No rules or bylaws of the society may be
altered or added to in any way except by
the society at a general meeting called for
that purpose, (1.) The repealing of bylaws
five and six (5 and 0), (2.) Alteration of
seventeen (17) article of association (page 7).
In the last line but one to substitute the
word 1 such ' for the words ' all the,' and
add after the last words ' from office ' the
words ' as the bylaws may direct.' "
The requisition was signed by the follow-
ing members :— Messrs. A. Henry Fullwood,
Reginald Bloxsome, Julian R. Ashton,
Frank P. Mahony, William Heron, G. V.
F. Mann, J. J. Lachaume, J. Hubert New-
man, W. A. B. Greaves, J. Howell, W. C.
Chambers, Alexander Oliver, B. E. Minns,
Miss Ethel A. Stephens, Messrs. J. Norton,
M.L.C., A. B. Paterson, W. J. Trickett,
M.L.C. (be as to get rule 41 amended),
James Inglis, M.L. A., Ernest Collins,
Alfred Spain, D. H. Soutar, Arthur
Streeton, James Peddle, W. B, Spong, A.
Clint, and P. J. Holdsworth.
In their reply the council notified their
intention of calling a meeting as requested.
A large attendance of members is ex-
pected.

Woodhouse Herbert 1855 - 1920 Fishermans Camp Mosman Bay WAview full entry
Reference: see Sunday Collectors Art Auction Series
Sunday 9th March 2025,
Herbert Woodhouse was renowned for his paintings of racehorses. In 1897, he travelled to Perth with his wife aboard the Barcoo, specifically to paint a portrait of a horse named
Le Var, who had won the Coolgardie Cup.  Le Var was owned by Coolgardie Mayor
Arthur Jenkins, in partnership with R.B. Pell, the local auctioneer and race handicapper.

While in Perth, Woodhouse also painted scenes of the Swan River. This work is the second river scene discovered, depicting an area that is now the location of the Mosman Bay Restaurant.  The view looks toward Chidley Point, with Blackwall Reach visible on the south side of the riverbank.  At this time, net fishing in the Swan River was beginning to face increasing regulations. This painting shows one of the last professional fishing camps of that era. The fishermen would set their nets around the shallow sand banks at Point Walter and used the clear stretch of beach in Mosman Bay to unload, clean the fish and dry their nets. They were fishing for mullet.

By 1898, net fishing was banned from Point Walter to the mouth of the river, and in Perth Water.  However, net fishing was still permitted in Melville Water and from the causeway to Guildford.  Regulations required that the mesh size be no smaller than 3” x 3”
(7.5 cm x 7.5 cm), allowing younger fish to escape.

Woodhouse also spent some time in the goldfields. The Art Gallery of Western Australia holds a watercolour of The Mining Warden’s Court, Pilbara in their collection.

Cavalan Pierre view full entry
Reference: from Powerhouse Museum website:
French-Australian jeweller, Pierre Cavalan, made this decorative panel, titled 'Lost in the Crowd II', at his studio in Turrella, Sydney, in 2007. The piece is part of an ongoing series of work made from recycled metal plates embossed with faces bearing different, stylised expressions. For many years Cavalan has worked almost exclusively with recycled materials, making jewellery from badges, buttons, imitation gemstones and an array of other discarded pieces. He sourced the metal within this series from scrap-metal merchants, second-hand shops and Sydney roadsides, selling and recycling anything that he did not use. He has a remarkable memory of the origin of each piece, whether it comes from an electroplated nickel silver tray, a baking tray, a biscuit tin, a teapot, a street sign or a number plate, which demonstrates his appreciation for the materials he uses. To begin the production process, Cavalan flattens the metal and cuts it to size with a guillotine. He assembles screws, nails or wire into a facial configuration and uses a 20-tonne hydraulic press to emboss the design into the cut metal. He repeats the process until he fills a shoe box with the plates and then begins to arrange the composition. For Cavalan, this is the most creative and enjoyable stage in the production process as it enables him to experiment with colour, texture and scale. Since beginning the series in 1999, Cavalan has refined the process and has moved to working exclusively with metals that will withstand humidity and other environmental conditions. In some instances he has recycled old artworks into new ones, including an award-winning panel from 2002 that he disassembled and re-worked into new pieces, including 'Lost in the Crowd II'. The frame surrounding the decorative panel appears to have been reused from another artwork.

Born in France in 1954, Pierre Cavalan arrived in Darwin via Portuguese Timor on 22 December 1974, three days before Cyclone Tracy struck the city. Returning to France, he graduated from the Parisienne jewellery school, BJO (Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfèvrerie), in 1979 and then worked for Sydney jeweller, Russel McColough, from 1980 to 1985. Since then he has held teaching positions in the United States and at the Enmore School of Design, Sydney. Cavalan's work is held in a number of Australian and international public collections that include the Imperial War Museum in London, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the State Library of Queensland and the National Museum of Australia. In 1990, the Powerhouse Museum acquired two of his brooches, 'Wedding' and 'Widows Group', which are both made from mixed media (Powerhouse Museum object numbers 90/524 and 90/525). In 2002 Cavalan won first prize in Junk Love, an annual competition for sustainable art and design sponsored by Reverse Garbage Cooperative Ltd in Marrickville, Sydney. His winning panel, which measured 175 x 110 centimetres, was disassembled and its pieces reused in later artworks, including 'Lost in the Crowd 2'. Cavalan frequently recycles his artwork in this manner.

School of Paris: Australian artists abroadview full entry
Reference: The School of Paris: Australian artists abroad.
For many Australian artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an exposure to French and Parisian traditions of art making was formative and profound, whether their time in Paris was fleeting or they were true émigrés, never to return to Australia. ‘The School of Paris’ was a term coined in reference to the wave of non-French artists from around the world who gravitated to this thriving centre of artistic activity. Initially drawn to the Montmartre district and then to Montparnasse in the south of the city, artists in this period explored a range of modern styles as they studied, exhibited and immersed themselves in a progressive and lively culture – and the great galleries and museums of the city.
In a variety of ways, the artists featured in this room, either through living and working in Paris themselves or through the teachings of others, were influenced by that city’s unique milieu in the heady decades before the outbreak of World War II, which catalysed a shift for many Western artists – across the North Atlantic to New York City.
This Collection display can be found in our oldest gallery space Bolton Court built in 1867. In the late 1880s, under the supervision of the distinguished Bendigo architect WC Vahland, this building was converted from the orderly room of the Bendigo Volunteer Rifle Brigade to a permanent home for the Gallery’s collection.

Untitled (Pastoral view across St. Kilda and Albert Park) 1885
Watercolour on paper, 240 x 345 mm (image), signed and dated in image l.l. ‘E. Parsons 1885’; small vertical section of discolouration along right section of the image, otherwise very good condition; housed in a hand gilded period style frame by Jarman’s Framing after a design by recognised colonial framer Isaac Whitehead.
Elizabeth Parsons (1831-1897) – also known as Mrs. George Parsons – was a significant but under-recognised female colonial artist working in Melbourne and Victoria in the 1870s and 1880s. She was a founding member of the Australian Artists’ Association. Examples of Parsons’ work are held in the NGA, NGV and SLV.
This attractive plein air watercolour shows a group of girls in a pastoral setting in St Kilda or Prahran, where Parsons resided at the time. To the left is the distinctive silhouette of the Wesleyan Church on Fitzroy Street, St. Kilda (opened in 1858, the four pinnacles visible were removed in the 1960s), to the right are some small sail boats on Albert Park Lake, with Port Phillip visible in the distance.

From the DAAO:
‘Elizabeth Parsons, painter and lithographer, was born on 27 September 1831, daughter of George and Elizabeth Warren of Holly Lodge, Isleworth, England. She trained with the Newcastle-on-Tyne watercolourist Thomas Miles Richardson, then with James Duffield Harding (some studies are in one of her sketchbooks). Later she studied in Paris and ‘at the famous artists’ colony of Barbizon’. Some paintings done at the last accompanied her to Australia; in 1881 she showed At Fontainebleau (‘a harmonious study of rocks and vegetation – an infinitesimal section of the lovely domain which artists so revel in’) with the Art Society of NSW. One of her sketchbooks (D-M 2001) includes views at Fontainebleau. She was a successful painter and art teacher in England until 1866 when, aged 35, she married architect George Parsons, a widower with two sons. They had a daughter and four more sons.
In 1870 the family migrated to Victoria. At first they lived in Carlton, then settled in St Kilda. Despite being listed as ‘amateur’, Mrs George Parsons (the name under which she generally exhibited, though she signed her work ‘E.P.’) gained immediate attention for her work. James Smith of the Argus generously noted that her watercolour views of English scenery were ‘very solid and free for a lady’s hand’. In December 1870 she had five watercolours of Devonshire scenery (‘of conspicuous merit’) in the first exhibition of the Victorian Academy of Arts (VAA). A watercolour of the University of Melbourne is dated 1871. She exhibited oil and watercolour landscapes regularly with the VAA and in 1875 was elected to the Council – its first woman member. She also exhibited with the NSW Academy of Art. Her Lilydale views, shown in the 1877 exhibition, were ranked among the best watercolours by the Sydney Mail art critic who preferred them to her oils – apart from Girl at the Well . Later that year James Smith noted in the Argus (17 March 1877, p.8) the ‘bright, transparent and truly Australian’ atmosphere of her View from Berwick Hill .
Although her oils were less experimental than her watercolours (LT), Parsons’s paintings were usually called ‘broad’ in treatment and generally praised, although few critics appreciated her novel interest in capturing an impressionistic light that bleached and simplified motifs. In 1875 a reviewer commended her ‘boldness and dash of treatment’ simply because it was such a relief ‘after the insignificant stippeling [sic] employed by the majority of artists’. In 1881 another stated that her watercolour Sketch at Lorne (shown in the Fine Arts Court at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition with eight other works) was no more than ‘a rough blot’, yet ‘a blot which is very telling when it is looked at from a little distance’. The previous year both her oils and watercolours had been admired for their ‘natural breezy freshness, telling of a close study of atmospheric effect’.
Parsons was committed to working directly from the subject. In a paper read before the Australian Church Ladies’ Reading Club, she stated: ‘The rules of art are few and simple, but Nature is subtle and so infinitely various, and her effects so beyond the power of memory, that the artist should have constant recourse to the ever-changing beauties.’ Her work demanded attention because it so vividly displayed her thorough English and French (especially French) training. Nevertheless, a review in the Sydney Mail (26 July 1884) typifies the most common form of lukewarm praise: ‘In landscapes the lady painters are not on a level with some of the male members; but the works of Mrs George Parsons are quite equal to the average.’ She asked appropriately low ladies’ work prices. In 1876 her oils cost five or ten guineas and her watercolours two or three guineas.
Well before the area became inextricably identified with the ‘Heidelberg School’, she showed two highly praised Views at Heidelberg in the first exhibition of the Sydney Art Society (December 1880). In 1884-85 she showed landscapes near Lake Wakatipu in Sydney after a trip to New Zealand. (NZ watercolours, photographs and other memorabilia were in one of her Deutscher-Menzies albums.) Along with Tom Roberts , Arthur Streeton et al. she was a founding member of the highly professional Australian Artists’ Association in Melbourne, where she had solo shows in 1885 and 1896 (a catalogue of the latter was in the D-M sale, 2001). Along with artists of a younger generation Parsons was a member of the Buonarotti Club, a source of semi-bohemian culture in Melbourne in the late 1880s (see Bonyhady The Colonial Earth and McQueen Tom Roberts ). After its demise she founded and was president of a society for young artists called ‘Stray Leaves’. She also published drawing books appropriate for Australian students; they contain freely sketched lithographs of the semi-rural outskirts of Melbourne.
Three Australian views ‘treated in the lady’s usual free and easy style’ were included in the 1873 London International Exhibition and there is some speculation that she was also included in the 1875 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition. One English oil and two Australian watercolour subjects by her were part of Victoria’s offerings to the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, while two oils and three watercolours were shown at Sydney’s 1879-80 International Exhibition. She had three oils in the 1880-81 Melbourne Centennial International, six watercolours in the 1884 Victorian Jubilee Exhibition and was also well represented in the 1888-89 Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition. 10 of her watercolour views were sent to the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London and one oil painting. The latter, now known as Point Ormond, St Kilda but then titled Red Bluff 1881 (LT), was one of three Australian paintings illustrating R.A.L. Stevenson’s review of the colonial works in the Magazine of Art . It was, he said: ‘another work inspired by study of good schools … composed and arranged with taste and method; and the colour is laid on in good broad washes.’ In 1920 a large posthumous exhibition of Parsons’s work was held at Decoration Galleries, Melbourne.
Despite this impressive career and oeuvre Parsons remains little known. Public collections hold only a few of her finished paintings, but have numerous sketches (LT) and a drawing book of St Kilda views (NGA). Many of her larger paintings remain with descendants, although these have been increasingly appearing on the market. In 1993 her Louttit Bay, near Lorne, Victoria (1879) was for sale at $16,500. Her luminous and detailed rural landscape, Afternoon Walk 1876, oil on canvas 32 × 47 cm, was offered by Sotheby’s Melbourne on 28 November 2000, lot.172 (ill.), estimate $4,000-6,000. Two of her albums containing over 600 watercolours and drawings done in Britain, Australia and New Zealand were offered at Deutscher-Menzies in August 2001, estimate $15,000-$20,000. The six watercolours illustrated in the catalogue (p.48) were: Heidelberg ; Sydney Road near Park Gates 1872; Brighton Beach 1888; Circular Quay, Sydney ; St Kilda road ; The Hotel at Healesville.’

Watercolour with gold highlights on card, 334 x 254 mm, signed and dated ‘Phil McLachlan 23’ lower right; in very good condition. Housed in a custom timber frame in period style by Philip Tregear, Melbourne.
A stunning original watercolour from the artist’s estate. Painted when McLachlan was just 18, it exemplifies her innate sense of style and design.
Phyllis (Phil) McLachlan was a talented artist of the 1920s and 30s best known for her cover designs for The Home and Triad magazines. She left school at the age of sixteen, and studied painting with Thea Proctor and at the Julian Ashton Art School. She exhibited at the Society of Women Painters in 1924 and married noted naval officer and diplomat John Collins in 1930. McLachlan’s work is rare in the market or in public collections, however notably an archive of naval costume drawings is held by the Mitchell Library, who also acquired a fine watercolour of a ballet scene from us in 2011.

Reference: see Lawsons, DISCOVERING ETHEL WADDELL (1865 - 1937), auction March 10, 2025, 250 lots.
Born in 1865, Ethel was part of the influential Waddell family, whose wealth and standing allowed her the freedom to study under Julian Ashton and immerse herself in the art world alongside contemporaries such as Norman Lindsay and Sydney Long. Though she never exhibited her work publicly, Ethel’s legacy lives on through her paintings, many of which were donated to fundraising events and shared with friends in the artistic circle.
Ethel was one of seven children raised on the family property “Benvenue” Singleton, NSW. An affluent family, the Waddells were established members of the Maitland community, and afforded Ethel the ability to travel and paint.
A student of Julian Ashton, Ethel was a prolific painter who established relationships with many of her artistic contemporaries, among those were Julian Ashton, Sydney Long, Norman Lindsay, Isabel McWhannell
& Squire Morgan. 
Ethel eventually settled in Avoca where she became an active member of the Avoca township, and frequently hosted fellow artists and painting classes at her Avoca residence. The surrounding scenery inspired some of the iconic imagery created by Julian Ashton and Sydney Long.
Despite her active involvement in the art world and an active patron, little is known about Ethel beyond a few biographical details. She never exhibited her works publicly but often donated paintings to fundraising events.
This collection presented by Lawsons is only a portion of Ethel’s life’s work and offers insightful glimpses of the Avoca region during the early 1900s. They have remained within the family and now under the custodianship of Ethel’s great-niece where they were once displayed at her private residence in Newcastle, then housed at the Calais Estate Winery where they have remained since. 











Peacock George Edwardsview full entry
Reference: see State Library of New South Wales which has extensive collections of Peacock’s work. The following information is on the SLNSW website:
George Edwards Peacock
George Edwards Peacock (1806–?) had originally trained as a lawyer, however when he was transported to Sydney for forgery he turned to painting to improve his straitened circumstances. Marked as a 'gentleman' convict, he worked as a meteorological recorder at the South Head weather station. It was probably here that he developed his love for Sydney Harbour and its diversity of moods. In the 1840s he began painting professionally.
His oils, generally small and atmospheric, concentrated on Sydney Harbour and the exclusive private villas along its foreshores. His paintings of Darling Point and environs feature Glenrock, the residence of Thomas Smith which was built in 1836, as well as views of Sir Thomas Mitchell's house Carthona and Thomas Sutcliffe Mort's Gothic villa Greenoaks.

With their precise detail enlivened by artistic effect, his exquisite paintings give a romanticism to Sydney and its harbour. The Sydney Morning Herald described his work as:
"carefully painted, exhibiting extreme fidelity to nature, as well as skill in miniature handling and high finish"
(SMH, 2 June 1849)
In subject-matter his work resembles that of his Sydney contemporary Conrad Martens who was giving lessons in Sydney at the time Peacock began to paint. Peacock, like Martens, had a keen interest in meteorology and, also like Martens, made many views of, or from, his patron's residences. Many colonists employed both artists.
The Library has an extensive collection of George Edwards Peacock paintings, which featured in the Library's Picture Gallery exhibition in 2002.
A number of Darling Point residents had their own private art collections which they opened to the public on regular occasions. Thomas Sutcliffe Mort had a fine collection of around 120 watercolours, as well as sculpture and old English armoury, which were housed in a purpose-built gallery designed by Edmund Blacket as part of additions to Greenoaks in 1858. Thomas Ware Smart also had a very attractive picture gallery attached to his home, Mona, which contained a superb collection of European oil paintings. Both galleries were open to the public.

Richard was charming, intelligent, had great aesthetic sensibilities, and

guest, or in his company, was always a pleasure and often memorable.
The Print Room was a great addition to the art scene in Sydney at the time
and held many successful exhibitions of prints, drawings, paintings and
photographs. I recall the opening of a Norman Lindsay exhibition when
there were too many invitees for the gallery to hold, and Richard spoke
from the upstairs verandah to the assembled throng in the street below.
Richard also personally collected prints and photographs by various artists
and donated them to public galleries. He had an interest in bookplates and
commissioned them from artists he knew. Many of the books to be offered
contain his bookplates which are often limited-edition prints.
His interests were many; art, photography, literature, spiritualism, healthy
living, psychology, the paranormal and Richard Wagner & his music. He
was an enthusiastic founding member of the Wagner Society in Sydney.
The books that follow are a small selection from his collection, and more
will follow in later catalogues.

Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and Dictionary 1788-1938view full entry
Reference: Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and Dictionary 1788-1938, by Kevin Fahy and Andrew Simpson, ‘with over 660 biographical entries, illustrations of over 420 marks and labels and over 600 colour plates illustrating the best and most representative examples of each furniture type.’

An essential reference for curators, private collectors, dealers, auctioneers, investors, social and cultural historians, includes entries for 660 Australian furniture and picture frame makers, retailers and
designers - the result of seven year's gallery, museum, library, newspaper and field research. Superbly illustrated with over 1000 photographs, 600 in colour.
Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and Dictionary 1788-1938 is the most comprehensive survey of quality furniture, its marks and makers, yet undertaken in this country. A natural progression from the authors' previous works, Early Colonial Furniture in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land (1972) and Nineteenth Century Australian Furniture (1985), this volume is designed to further assist in the accurate identification and dating of furniture made in this country prior to the outbreak of World War II.
Divided into two sections, the first, a dictionary, includes over 660 entries. Biographies of makers, retailers and designers, by whom an item of furniture with a mark or label is known to survive, are compiled from seven years of painstaking documentary and field research. Professional furniture makers and skilled amateurs are entered alike, as are the hitherto ignored endeavours of the picture frame maker. Among
those listed are immigrant German cabinet-makers; including those arriving in South Australia from the late 1830s who continued to produce furniture in the Biedermeier style for their self-contained
communities; and Chinese cabinet-makers, flooding into Australia in search of gold in the 1850s and 60s, who quickly adapted their traditions and skills to furniture making for a market with largely British taste.

The second section is a pictorial history of Australian furniture containing over 600 full colour plates illustrating the best and most representative examples of each furniture type. These superb photographs provide impressive evidence of the amount of quality work produced in Australia prior to the mid twentieth century domination of the market by factory-made furniture and imports. Each plate is accompanied by a caption in which the process of the object's attribution has been detailed - drawing on the trained eye of the connoisseur to identify timbers and stylistic features and the documentary evidence of meticulous
scholarly research; including contemporary references from newspapers, furniture pattern books and catalogues as well as relevant secondary source material - to give a practical framework for the accurate dating and critical assessment of Australian-made furniture.
The dictionary entries in Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and Dictionary 1788-1938 contain over 420 black & white photographs of marks, trade cards and labels as well as collection and bibliographical references. Easy access to such previously unavailable information about antipodean cabinet and picture frame makers will undoubtedly influence the market for Australian furniture and may suggest new directions for collecting in both the public and private spheres.
Published as a companion to Nineteenth Century Australian Furniture, in a small edition of 2,000
volumes - each signed and numbered by the authors - Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and
Dictionary 1788-1938 is planned as a fully self-contained work of reference.
Wholly produced in Australia with 516 pages, printed on archival paper and bound to withstand years of reading, it is presented in a substantial cloth bound slip case (318mm X 252mm). Australian Furniture: Pictorial History and Dictionary 1788-1938 is an investment which will rapidly appreciate in value, as evidenced by the resale demand and value of Nineteenth Century Australian Furniture - which has become a collector's item in its own right.

Hyacinthe de Bougainville (1781-1846), son of the first French circumnavigator Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811), took part at the age of 18 in Nicolas Baudin's voyage of discovery to the southern lands in 1800. After a successful maritime career under the Empire and Restoration, he was given command of the frigate Thétis (built especially for a round-the-world voyage) and the corvette L'Espérance. Bougainville's round-the-world expedition between March 1824 and June 1826 had an essentially political and diplomatic aim: "to show the King's flag in the seas where our trade is seeking to open up outlets" and to develop in these regions "feelings of esteem and friendship for France" (according to the instructions of minister Clermont-Tonnerre). Leaving Brest on March 2, 1824, Thétis made a brief stopover in Tenerife, crossed the equator and rounded the Cape of Good Hope before arriving at Bourbon Island, where she met up with the corvette l'Espérance from Rio de Janeiroa. The two ships set course for Pondicherry before entering the Strait of Malacca. Bougainville then headed for Singapore, giving the first French description of the city. After a long stopover in Manila to repair the Esperance, the Thétis sailed alone for Macao before reaching Tourane, where Bougainville tried in vain to make contact with the Emperor of Annam. Joined by the repaired Esperance, Thétis headed south again, passing off Malaya on the north coast of Java before reaching the great Sunda Islands, where Bongainville was sumptuously received by the Sultan of Madura Island. The expedition then reached the western coast of Australia, well known to Bougainville, to round the continent to the west and south, passing off Tasmania, and finally arriving in Sydney for a 3-month stay. The two ships left Sydney on September 21, 1825, crossing the South Pacific in a single voyage, arriving in Valparaiso on November 23. After rounding Cape Horn on February 2, Bougainville reached the Falkland Islands, still uninhabited, where only a few ruins remain of the settlement created by his father in 1764. On March 21, he arrived in Rio de Janeiro for a three-week stay, before returning to France and arriving in Brest on June 23, 1826.
On his return, Bougainville received no real reward for the work and discoveries he had made during his round-the-world voyage, particularly during his long stay in Australia, where his ornithological observations led, among other things, to splendid representations of callocephalus (parrots). The considerable collection of natural history and ornithological specimens brought back by the expedition will be recognized as one of the most important ever seen in France.

Working in a number of simultaneous styles, her work spans traditional portraiture, surrealism and pop art that marries dark and light themes in a single experimental practice. Spirovski paints a fragmented world, reflecting the anxieties defining the present age while never relinquishing a sense of hope for the future. After building a celebrated artistic career, Loribelle now turns her ambition to writing after a long period as a dedicated reader with White Hibiscus: a portrait in words.

Silas Ellis 1883-1972 biographyview full entry
Reference: information sheet from exhibition c1970s:
Ellis Silas, artist FRSA, FRGS, 1883 - 1972
84 Brook Green, London, W6
Ellis Silas had an artistic background. His father was a fine flower painter in the Dutch style, and his grandfather was Edouard Silas the composer. Ellis began his career in his father's studio designing furnishing fabrics and interior decor. Intoxicated with painting and art, he decided to try his fortune in Australia. Unfortunately the outbreak of war in 1914 interrupted this project and he hurried back to enlist in the A.I.F. During the war he took part in the epic landing at Anzac which he later wrote about and illustrated, under the title Crusading at Anzac. It was at this time that he was commissioned as an official War Artist.
When the war ended Ellis continued painting and soon put on a show. It received a Royal Command: it was requested that the exhibition - then at a Bond Street Gallery - be sent to Buckingham Palace. King George V received Ellis at a Private Audience given by his Majesty and Queen Mary. It must have been a proud moment for the young, struggling artist to be honoured so highly. But his modest character and
ever-searching mind took him on to even greater things. Throughout his life Ellis had
been interested in the South Seas. The romantic in him eventually per suaded him to satisfy his curiosity and he set off for Papua on an expedition which was to produce his finest work. These delicate studies of native life were to become his trademark.
Their sensitive innocence captures the very essence of a race still happy in its environmental bliss. He recalled in his book, A Primitive Arcadia, how the children would line up and watch him brush his teeth first thing in the morning, fascinated by this strange habit. On his return he met Daphne, who was to be his devoted and a-doring wite. They were soon married, with Charles Robinson, another London Sketch Club member, as best man. Ellis settled down to a life at home. He worked endlessly, designing menu cards murals, posters, souvenirs, and stained-glass windows. His war effort in the Second World War included a very fine collection of posters, typical of the age. These happy years were spent at the beautiful house in Brook Green associated with William Mor-ris. It was here that many people
were entertained in true London Sketch Club style. Ellis was also a member of the United and Ridley Art Societies and a good Savage. He exhibited at the Academy, R.O.I. and R.1. regularly.

Reference: Turbulence & Transcendence - The Biennale of Sydney: The First 50 Years, by Brook Turner. [To be indexed]
A vivid history of the Biennale of Sydney’s first half-century in a sumptuous, limited-edition volume with new insights, interviews and commentary.
‘This is the story of how an Italian immigrant arrived in a country seen by many of his peers as a wasteland and seized on an idea entirely of its time to help erase the distance between Australia and the world, the past and the future.

Hearman Louisview full entry
Reference: Louise Herman - catalogue for Museum of Contemporary Art exhibition, 2016. With essays by Anna Davis and John McDonald.
‘This exhibition is the first major museum survey of Australian painter Louise Hearman, featuring painting and drawings from across her more than 25-year practice.

The Melbourne-based artist is best known for her dark dream-like paintings where things are never quite as they seem. It is up to us to imagine what is glimmering in the half-light or lurking deep in the shadows, as the artist offers no written clues to the evocative contents of her works, which are nearly always left untitled.

Contemplative and obsessive in her approach, Hearman returns repeatedly to a number of motifs in her work – a child’s radiant face, the back of someone’s head, a glowing orb, a deserted road, an aeroplane gliding through a liquid sky, a phosphorescent sunset, a melancholic cloud, dogs, flowers, birds, cats and, perhaps most bizarrely, rows of shining teeth smiling at us. The luminous subjects of her portraits tend to float in a sea of blackness or abstract fields of colour, while her landscapes are often set at the edges of bush and suburbia, captured at twilight or dawn, their uncertain light spawning otherworldly forms and imbuing them with a supernatural quality.

Hearman collects imagery for her paintings by closely observing and photographing her experiences. She then merges these photographs with other recalled and imagined images in her mind and works in her studio to create unsettling compositions that blend and transform the commonplace into something extraordinary. With great technical skill, she focuses on capturing precise qualities of light in her subjects, conveying moments of intense radiance and darkness. The light in her paintings is beautiful but it can also disfigure, producing undefined spaces and monstrous forms. These disconcerting images are reminiscent of fleeting sensory impressions, like something glimpsed but not quite seen, caught at the moment before conscious apprehension.

Hearman’s paintings are often said to have a cinematic quality, and like film stills they capture transient moments of imaginary time. By combining commonplace imagery with highly personal visions of the unknown and the unknowable, her art hints at the wonders of the universe and the compelling nonverbal nature of our thoughts and imaginings.’ From MCA website.

From catalogue essay:
Isobel (Iso) Rae studied at the National Gallery School in Melbourne between 1878 and 1887, initially at the School of Design before advancing to the School of Painting in 1883. In August 1887, with her mother and sister, Rae left Melbourne for Paris, where she studied for the next few years at the Académie Colarossi and undertook private lessons.
Arriving in taples for the first time in the summer of 1889, Rae was struck by the village atmosphere and rustic charm of rural life.
Located on the Picardy coast, Étaples attracted a steady stream of Australians and 'can lay claim to being the Australian artists' colony in France, much as Giverny is identified with American artists, and Grez-sur-Long with Scandinavians. (1) Approximately thirty Australian artists visited or lived in the area from the 1880s to the first decades of the twentieth century. including Eleanor. Harrison and her husband the
• American painter Birge Harrison, E. Phillips Fox, Walter Withers, Tudor St George Tucker, Hilda Rix Nicholas, the long-term residents James Quinn and Edward Officer, as well as the sisters Alison and Isobel Rae, who made Etaples their home from 1892 until 1932.
Isobel Rae's A Misprint 1886 represents a crucial work from the artist's early years and remains an important Australian specimen of the kind of narrative figure painting which was central to late Victorian taste. Subject pictures such as the present work can be seen in the first instance as an antipodean reprise to 'the sentimental and pathetic illustrations of contemporary life by Victorian painters such as [Thomas] Faed and [Luke] Fildes, whose works were enjoying popularity within the colonies at that time.' (2) They also have a more specific historical origin in the example and teachings of the conservative but charismatic George Folingsby, Master of the Art School at the National Gallery from 1882 until his death in
1891. Trained in London, New York, Munich and Paris, Folingsby was not only practiced in the academic disciplines of drawing, composition, tonal construction and high finish, but he also favoured an art of dramatic narrative, of pseudo-naturalistic tableaux built around an affective, emotional centre.
In the hands of his Australian students - artists such as Aby Altson, David Davies, John Longstaff, Frederick McCubbin, and Isobel Rae - such expressive depictions of daily life were given a particularly local, frontier inflection. McCubbin's Home Again (1884, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne)
shows a digger or swagman's return from the road:
Longstaff's Breaking the News (1887, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth) a young mother being told of her coalminer husband's accidental death;
Davies' From a Distant Land (1889, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney) a solitary back-country selector reading a letter from 'Home'; and Altson's Flood Sufferings (1890, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne) another young mother, this one only recently delivered of her baby and being borne on a litter out of her inundated cottage. In such works' marriage of up-front emotion and outback setting lay the beginnings of the great 'nationalist' pictures of Australian Naturalism: McCubbin's A Bush Burial (1890, Geelong Gallery, Victoria), Tom Roberts' Shearing the Rams (1890, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne) and Arthur Streeton's Fire's On (1891, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney). (3)
Despite the father's evident age and frailty, A Misprint is rather more domestic than disastrous, with the gestures of the three main figures proclaiming the importance of family connection and well-being, with the undercurrent of instability only interrupted by the discovery of a misprint in the daily newspaper.
Nevertheless, A Misprint is very close in mood and method to the well-known 'Folingsby School' pioneering subjects in its human drama, in its careful figure drawing, in the subtly modulated interior light over broad expanses of wall and floor and even in its bravura technical elements: textures of the various furnishings, drapery and decorations that range from crockery, kettle, birdcage, oil lamp, framed and unframed pictures, and walking stick.
A Misprint was first shown at the Third Annual Exhibition of Paintings by the Students of the National Gallery School under the direction of Mr. Folingsby at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne in March 1886, where it was singled out for particular praise: "Of Miss Rae's five exhibits, the most noticeable are "A Misprint" and "A Fellow Feeling," the first representing a critical reader of his morning newspaper, with his two daughters at the breakfast table, and the other a housemaid whose admiration is excited by the statuette of Cupid and Psyche. Both are carefully and delicately panted, but the artist has made a curious mistake in the perspective of the rug upon the floor in the second. In marked contrast with the nice finish of these genre compositions is the strength of drawing and brushwork in the head of the old gentleman to the right.' (4)
From the one hundred and twenty paintings in the exhibition, Isobel Rae's A Misprint was awarded the special prize of five guineas, provided by Mr Robert Wallen.
A rare example of 1880s narrative painting, Isobel Rae's A Misprint 1886 represents an exciting rediscovery in the small oeuvre of this remarkable artist, created the year before she left Melbourne for Paris.

Audette Yvonne with biographyview full entry
Reference: Yvonne Audette - Charles Nodrum Gallery, 9-26 April, 2025, opened by Dr Gerard Vaughan
art historian and curator, former director of the National Gallery of Victoria (1999-2012) and of the National Gallery of Australia (2014-2018).
Audette is one of the two or three greatest abstract painters Australia has produced; perhaps the very finest. But even saying this, I am aware that no one country ‘produced’ her wonderful paintings. Like any highly intelligent creative artist, she has had the quickness of foot to learn from the growing points of culture all round the world. Into her vitamin-enriched paintings have gone diverse elements of the European abstract tradition, along with other strands from American expressionism. Even Velázquez has played his part – when he was needed. Yet the result is not some uncertain mélange but an idiom that is entirely her own.
Chris Wallace-Crabbe, 2014[1]

[Audette’s] artistic economy was global before the invention of the term.
Bruce James, 2000[2]

Yvonne Audetteis one of very few Australian-born artists to have lived, worked and exhibited amidst the American and European avant-garde period of the 1950s and 60s. Her lyrical and layered canvases – composed using a personal language of marks and symbols inspired by her urban and natural surrounds as well as music – have made her one of the country’s most renowned abstractionists.

Born in Sydney in 1930, Audette studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music before beginning her art studies under Henry Gibbons and John Passmore at the Julian Ashton School (1948-1952). Passmore was an adherent of Cezanne’s post-impressionist and post-cubist principles, and his profound influence is visible in her early figurative works.

In 1952, Audette left Sydney for Europe via the USA where she stayed for 3 years, pursuing further studies at the New York Arts Students’ League and the National Academy of Design’s School of Fine Arts. It was in this city that she first became a part of the changing course in Western Art, getting to know the art critic Clement Greenberg and some of ‘The New York School’ of artists – including Robert Motherwell, Theodoros Stamos and Franz Kline. She was also influenced by the works of Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock and Mark Tobey, amongst others. Coming to identify herself as an ‘Abstract Expressionist’, Audette was at this time using brushes, palette knives and viscous pigment to produce loose and spontaneous canvases with broad, expressive marks and gestural scrapes.

In 1955 Audette continued on to Europe. During her time in Spain the works of Goya and Velasquez inspired a return to and experiments with figuration, resulting in a series of portraits of peasants, gypsies and refugees on paper and on canvas. By December 1955 she was in Italy, setting up her first studio in Florence and in 1968 a second studio in Milan, the city where she met Italian artists Arnaldo Pomodoro, Lucio Fontana and Emilio Vedova, American artist Cy Twombly, and Australian artist Norma Redpath. Working between the two cities, Audette continued her investigations into abstraction but in relation to place; the American origins of her work were influenced by the European Art Informel movementas well as her interest in the marks and textures of Florence and Milan’s graffitied walls. This is evident in her paintings of the time; using plywood as a support, she applied graffiti-like marks and symbols in a lighter, layered and more lyrical manner, a method she likened to composing music. 

During her decade in Europe, Audette held exhibitions almost every year. Her first solo exhibition in Italy was at Florence’s Galleria Numero in 1958, followed the same year by a sell-out exhibition at Milan’s Galleria Schettini. She exhibitedagain at Florence’s Galleria Numero in 1959 and 1963, then at Milan’s Gallery Profili in 1964. Her 1959 Paris debut was held at the Gallery L’Antipoete, where she exhibited again in 1961; in London at the Hamilton Gallery in 1964; and in Rome at Galleria Schneider in 1965, followed by a second exhibition in 1966, after which she decided to return to Australia.

Audette’s move back to her home town of Sydney in 1966 was primarily a move “away fromthe spirits of those old [European] cultures”.[3] She also spoke of “the call of [Australia’s] soil”,[4] where “one has perhaps a better perspective” enabling “independence of thoughtand spirit”.[5] In her first exhibition back in Australia – at Sydney’s Bonython Gallery in 1968 (with Robert Klippel) – she exhibited a total of sixty-three paintings and works on paper produced both in Italy and during her time back in Australia.

In late 1969 Audette moved to Melbourne, where she settled permanently. Finding a home and setting up studio in the Dandenong Ranges – about 35km east of the city and away from its galleries and art community – she lived and worked there until 2013. Here she was able to immerse herself in nature and concentrate on expressing it in her practice; “I needed the stillness and silence of the landscape and the closeness of the wildlife … to experience my outer space and my inner space”.[6]

Throughout the decades, Audette often referred back to her earlier work, including major paintings she had shipped home from New York and Europe and were generously stored by Robert Klippel. Acting like a diary, they provided a constant source of reflection and inspiration. The Cantata paintings, for instance, beganin the 1960s and continued well into the new millennium to form a major series of work.

Audette has been the subject of multiple survey exhibitions including Yvonne Audette:Abstract Paintings 1950-1960s at Queensland Art Gallery in 1999, Constructions in Colour: the work of Yvonne Audette 1950s-1960s at Heide Museum of Modern Art in 2000, Different Directions 1954-1966 at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2007-2008 and Yvonne Audette: six decades of painting at the University of Melbourne’s Ian Potter Museum of Art in 2009. The major monograph Yvonne Audette: Paintings and Drawing 1949-2003 – featuring texts written by Chris Wallace-Crabbe, Christopher Heathcote, Bruce Adams, Gerard Vaughan and Kirsty Grant – was published in 2003.

Apparently … lying dormant in the storehouse of the memory, images and sensations are decanted and purified, until no vestige of contact with the immediacy of objective reality remains. Recalled to the canvas surface, they have become delicate but nevertheless unfaltering images of wholly interior experience … endowed with intense evocative power.[7]

Gariboldo Marussi, Galleria Schneider, Rome (catalogue), 1965

Perhaps the closest analogy with her art is the palimpsest, for both are an accretion of written shapes on a surface stirring with the ghosts of earlier writings vanquished by time, or by deliberate, though imperfect, erasure. These phantoms flicker palely among the living signs and there are many degrees of fading.[8]

Coutts Gordon with biographyview full entry
Reference: see Artemis Fine Arts auction, April 4, 2025, Louisville, CO, US, lot 142: Gordon Coutts (Scottish, 1868-1937). Oil on canvas, n.d. A beautiful painting by Scottish artist Gordon Coutts featuring a charming view of two horses tethered before a colonnaded edifice furnished with a Spanish tile roof in the evening hours. Warm lamplight glows through a lattice window to the right, and a vermilion glow radiates from an archway to the left that houses a pair of pottery vessels on a low stoop. Tall blossoming wild flowers and tufts of grasses grace the land in the foreground, and tranquil clouds float in the sapphire blue skies above. All is rendered with Coutts' skillful brushwork and keen eye for color and light. Size (painting): 28.25" L x 38.125" W (71.8 cm x 96.8 cm) Size: 35.625" L x 45.4" W (90.5 cm x 115.3 cm)

About the artist: "He was born in the Old Machar district of Aberdeen, Scotland, to a father who gave him a sound trouncing when he was nine for skipping church services so he could complete a sketch. Gordon ran away to Glasgow, where he could study photography and drawing at the Glasgow School of Art, and it was in Glasgow that he met the Irish artist John Lavery, who became his friend and mentor.

In the late 1880s, Gordon followed his brother David to Australia, where they ran a business creating art miniatures in Melbourne. Gordon studied three years at the National Gallery of Victoria art school where he won Honorable Mention for his painting Too Late in the school's Traveling Artist Scholarship Competition in 1893.

At the National Gallery of Victoria, among his teachers was L. Bernard Hall, who would run the gallery and school for the next several decades. Gordon was also influenced by the Heidelberg School, with whom he exhibited. Frederick McCubbin, a principal Heidelberg artist, was a Master Instructor at the NGV and also a teacher of Gordon.

During the 1890s, Gordon earned his living with portrait commissions, including the Prime Minister of Victoria, before being appointed Instructor at the Government Art School in Sydney in 1896 where he taught painting until 1899. In 1902, Gordon set sail for San Francisco, where he married artist Alice Hobbs, who was a painter of miniatures, and of Indian children in the manner of Grace Hudson. They survived the 1906 earthquake and built a house/studio in Piedmont, across the bay.

Gordon was a member of the Bohemian Club in San Francisco and exhibited there regularly, as well as at Gump's and the Schussler Gallery, sometimes with Alice. They both illustrated covers for Sunset magazine, and Gordon also illustrated poems and short stories, while doing Marin County landscapes and portrait commissions. Around 1910, he and Alice started traveling abroad regularly. They maintained a studio in Paris, and visited various art colonies. Gordon was enrolled in the Academie Julian under Fran?ois Flemeng and Adolphe Dechenaud, and had paintings accepted at the Paris salon, including Preparatifs pour le Bal des Quat'z-Arts. But in 1914, WWI obliged the couple to withdraw to the relative safety of their Piedmont home. But Gordon had left unfinished business on the Continent, as well as various paintings and belongings, and, despite the war, in 1916 he decided to return there. Alice declined to go along, and divorced him in 1917, retaining the Piedmont house. 1918 found Gordon in Pasadena, California, where he met Gertrude Russell, a music teacher. They married and spent the next several years living and painting in Spain, where daughter Jeane was born, and then in Morocco. During this time, annual trips to Britain were made to exhibit Gordon's Orientalist landscapes and portraits at the Royal Academy and other galleries. But living abroad was exhausting, and the family moved to Mexico where they spent a year near and around the capital. Gordon painted the local people, their cathedrals, and their street markets.

Gordon's bronchial troubles required attention, and in late 1925 the family moved to California. Discovering Palm Springs, and its healthful climate, they had a gallery/studio/home built there in the style of a North African villa they named 'Dar Morroc.' For the next several years the family used their new home as a base for painting excursions around California, the American Southwest, and Mexico. They even traveled as far as Australia in 1927 where Gordon had a retrospective exhibition.

For Gordon Coutts, as for many artists, the Great Depression brought about hard times. Though no longer traveling on account of his health, Gordon continued to paint, and daughter Mary was added to the family. But sales had completely disappeared. Exhibitions in Palm Springs, and at the famous Stendahl Galleries in Los Angeles, could spark little interest in his once popular art. Even a long visit by his good friend (the now Sir) John Lavery, for several winter weeks in 1936, could not revive his flagging health and in early 1937 he succumbed to heart failure at 71."

Painting with Stoneview full entry
Reference: Painting with Stone - The Story of the Melocco Brothers. By Zeny Edwards.
The work of Melocco Bros is embedded in the architecture of Australia. In mosaic, terrazzo, sgraffito, scagliola and many derivations of this ancient art, these exotic terms are presented in stunning images as the story unfolds about how three extraordinary brothers who migrated from a small village in Italy to Sydney made their mark in history, painting with stone.

In 1908, with nothing more than their talent and the indomitable desire to succeed, Peter, Antonio, and Galliano Melocco founded a business that would redefine their adopted city. Sydneysiders might have booked a train ticket amidst the mural frieze and terrazzo mosaic floor at Central Station or shopped at the marbled David Jones and Mark Foys. They may have transacted amidst the gleaming columns of the Commonwealth Bank at
Martin Place or the Bank of New South Wales in George Street. On the weekend, they might have marvelled at the magnificent Tasman Map in the entrance foyer of the Mitchell Library or silently contemplated the heroic exploits of the Anzacs in the Hall of Memory and at the Well of Contemplation at the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park or been awed by the extraordinary mosaic and terrazzo crypt under St Mary’s Cathedral. In the evening,
they might have been entertained in the glorious picture palace of the State Theatre.

Speaking through the language of stone, each inanimate piece of their tesserae ‘earth’ enriched Australia’s architecture and elevated it from beyond architecture to the realm of art. Astonishingly, ninety per cent of the marble, scagliola, and terrazzo work in hundreds of Sydney’s public buildings up to the 1960s bear the handiwork of Melocco craftsmen. Despite the ubiquity of the Melocco Bros’ work, detailed acknowledgement of their achievements has been lacking until now. In Painting with Stone, architectural historian Zeny Edwards rectifies this gap and shows that these three brothers were masters of innovation and craftsmanship who have long deserved special recognition in Australia’s architectural history.

Open: Thursday - Monday 10am-4pm
Focusing on the years from 1915 to 1930—widely regarded as the height of his pen drawing and printmaking—this exhibition showcases Lindsay’s unparalleled etching techniques. It highlights the complexity and precision of his artistic evolution, emphasising his exploration of desire through the delicate interplay of line and form.
Norman Lindsay’s etchings are renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship and profound emotional resonance. His commitment to perfection is evident in each composition, where the nuances of light and shadow enhance the depth of human longing. As Lindsay once remarked, “For all the arts, etching offers one illusive concept of perfection.”
Essential and complementary to Lindsay's pursuit of perfection was his wife, Rose. Without her expertise in printing, his pre-eminence as an etcher would be considerably diminished. It was a collaborative partnership of immense creativity, producing 375 different images—some of the finest etchings of the twentieth century. Their artistic and personal union played out in the amorous themes seen throughout this exhibition, where passion and collaboration are etched into every piece.

After Lewin's death Macquarie granted the George Street property to Mrs Lewin. She realized about £600 from the grant and returned to England with her son, William Arden, who had been born probably in 1808, after another child had died.

Slow Reveal - The Nude in Australian Artview full entry
Reference: Slow Reveal - The Nude in Australian Art, by Paul McGillick.
Hardly mentioned in standard histories of Australian art, the nude is like an unwanted guest, somehow slightly embarrassing. After a tentative entrance in Hobart in the 1840s, it disappeared until the 1870s. Why was this? When it did finally emerge, how did it compare to its European origins? Is there something unique in this antipodean version, linking it to the tanned and scantily clad denizens of Australia's famous sandy beaches? This book reveals the fascinating variety to the nude in Australian art up to the present day – in painting, sculpture, printmaking and photography – and highlights the central role played by female artists. It is a fresh view of Australian art through the lens of the nude and suggesting new ways of looking at art generally. AUTHOR: Dr Paul McGillick has had a long and varied career embracing academe, radio and television, the visual arts, and architecture and design publishing. He was chief performing and visual arts critic for The Australian Financial Review for many years and a producer/presenter in arts television for SBSTV and ABCTV. He is the author of 18 previous books on art and architecture.

Reference: see Sydney Morning Herald, 4.4.25, p9, article by Elizabeth Flux: Dissident artist told work removed from billboard - An artwork by dissident artist Badiucao created to test freedom of speech in Hong Kong appears to have been removed.
Here and Now is a four-second video work by the Shanghai-born, Australia-based, Walk-ley award-winning artist, who is also a contributor to this masthead. It had been showing hourly on two billboards in Hong Kong's busy Mong Kok district, but Badiucao said he has been informed by multiple groups of people who visited both sites that "there is no trace of my video showing any more".
The clip, which has no audio or caption, shows the artist mouthing the words "You must take part in revolution". The video had been showing as part of an exhibition titled Luminescence, commissioned by digital gallery Art Innovation.
Hours before the work's apparent removal, the artist had released a video and statement revealing its true intent, telling this masthead that Here and Now was a "test for the free-dom-of-speech situation in Hong Kong". He had expected that the work would be taken down in response to his revelation. "I think it's expected, given my international profile," he explains. "I think regardless of what the work is, once the Hong Kong authorities know that it is a work from me, that display [being] in a public space probably is enough for them to trigger a response and censor the work in one form or another."
The artist believes that the entire Luminescence display has been taken down but said:
"I haven't received any formal notice about the work no longer displaying."
The work had been on display since March 28 and was due to finish yesterday. The artist has been informed by multiple groups that the work hasn't been seen since 11am on Wednesday, Hong Kong time. Art Innovation has been contacted for comment.
Badiucao has consistently attracted controversy and threats for his body of work, which is critical of mainland China and its policies.
"You must take part in revolution," which is a quote from Mao Zedong as well as the title of Badiucao's recent graphic novel, is a pointed choice of words by the artist in a city where protest slogan "revolution of our times" has been banned.
Freedom of speech and protest is a significant issue in Hong Kong. After the 2020 implementation of the National Security Law, hundreds of people have been arrested under the banner of "secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion".
Badiucao says he hopes, despite the work's removal, that Here and Now shows it is possible to infiltrate an authoritarian system, and that there is "hope and desire for freedom, where currently this city and this government is taking [it] away from people".
"I don't think it's a surprise for anyone who really knows my practice and understands the repression or repressive situation in Hong Kong."

Jutta Feddersen is a critically acclaimed textile, sculptor, installation artist and lecturer, whose works are held in the collections of major national institutions. A trained weaver, Jutta came to prominence in the 70s with avantgarde tapestries and soft sculptures that were exhibited in established galleries in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, as well as internationally. Her first important solo exhibition was at Bonython Galleries in 1970, and in 1973 was commissioned by the Sydney Opera House (along with John Olsen and John Coburn) to produce a work for the boardroom. For 30 years the extraordinary 30 x 100m wall-hanging composed of stainless steel, agricultural pipes, rubber, jute and sisal was displayed.
“Simplicity, elegance, progression and repetition of forms are my trademarks. My aim is always to surprise others, and myself.”
In the early 80s we a see a shift from weaving to predominately sculpture and installation. Highly conceptual, these later works build on themes of displacement, memories, and loss. And whilst these works are informed by Jutta’s harrowing experiences during and post WWII, the inherent meaning of these works allow for a universal experience with the objects. The haunting simplicity, elegance and beauty culminate in a cathartic experience.
This sale is titled after her autobiography Substance of Shadows: The Life and Art of Jutta Feddersen, and includes seminal works that Jutta created between 1980 – 2010, including Early Man (Ghosts), Homage to Louise Bourgeois, and Ailing World. The sale also includes works from her last exhibition Secrets from the Attic - 40 Years of Art Practice (2010) which she produced in her 70s.
A NOTE FROM JUTTA'S DAUGHTERS
The process of collating our mother’s works for this studio sale has been emotionally challenging and exciting. We are saying goodbye to art pieces that we know so well, that are part of our collective memory, while also admiring them in a different way all these years later. It is difficult to have favourites as Jutta’s artworks vary so tremendously, but Ghosts (Early Man) and Homage to Louise Bourgeois are extra special to us.
We are thrilled that her works are in many collections including recent acquisitions from the National Gallery of Australia and Wollongong Art Gallery. Wollongong have included them in their ‘Seeing Things’ exhibition, which is opening in April.
We are motivated by knowing more of her work will be out in the world with new people to appreciate it. And we very much hope that the work brings you the joy, intrigue and enduring delight it has brought us.
Thank you
Melanie and Kirstin Feddersen

'When William Buelow Gould was freed in December, 1848, he probably did not realise that he was never to see the inside of a gaol again. But now his frail body and once defiant spirit could take no more. The slogging work on the Bridgewater & Jericho had finally halted the little artist. He wanted no part in any crime, the occasional drink perhaps, but he could never go through Torture & persecution of the last two years again for any reason on earth. 
By necessity, he began to paint immediately. He reverted to the old themes, fruit, flowers & still life subjects which would provide him with a small amount of income and yet require the minimum of effort. 
The little painter, now slightly stooped, knew what the people wanted, and he worked away at flower pieces, painting on inferior canvas (sometimes merely linen), with the cheapest oil paints available....... 
People at long last began to buy his paintings. Christmas 1850 saw the Gould family at their happiest & most prosperous, there had even been some talk of renting a studio for William in the New Year. 
There are two outstanding paintings which come from 1851 (the same period as this picture). Cabbage Roses & Fruit 1851, (Plate 33) now in the National Gallery of Australia Collection, Canberra.

The emigration of millions of British people across the globe during the Victorian Era gave precedence to a new genre of painting that centered around the emotional impact of departure from home or arrival to a new land, 'Emigration became at the mid-century perhaps the most vivid theme that painters of modern life could tackle. As the seamstress had been an icon of topical, socially concerned art in the 1840s, so the emigrant moved to the centre of the realists stage in the 1850s, whether an artist was a bourgeois realist, engaged in a producing a reassuring and anecdotal image of contemporary life, or a social realist, concerned to bear witness to Victorian Britain's problems and controversies. Artists, audiences and critics were equally likely to be drawn to the subject as one of moment'1 as seen in this captivating example by Henry Hainsselin whose works are extremely rare.

Henry Hainsselin was a painter, lithographer, engraver, and photographer, who studied under Jan Willem Pieneman, Director of the Amsterdam's Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Following his return from his studies to England, Hainssellin exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy between 1843 to 1853, his entries displaying his technical competence with genre and figurative subjects. Hainsselin's first encounter with Australia came in 1846, seven years before he set sail for Melbourne. He was invited by former school friend, George Henry Haydon (1822-1891) to lithograph six sketches of Indigenous Australians in their native surrounds. Haydon, having just returned from five years exploring the fledgling nation, published a personal travel narrative that doubled as an emigrant guide - 'Five Years in Australia Felix'.

Hainsselin left Plymouth, England, in April reaching Melbourne on the 11th September 1853, and like many emigrants before him, headed straight for the gold fields which had only been discovered two years earlier (examples of his goldfield watercolours are held in the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne). Ultimately, Hainsselin shifted between artist and miner, moving around the state over the next few years before returning to Melbourne as a full-time artist and teacher, eventually settling in St Kilda.

This charming and exceptionally rare work, is a particularly strong example of a departure picture. Perhaps reminiscing of his own experiences, Hainsselin portrays a young Royal British Navy Midshipman with a clear sense of nostalgia, optimism and hope. His sabre rests upon his bicorne hat box whilst he readies himself for a lifetime of adventures ahead in Australia.

Private collection, United Kingdom

LITERATURE
Jane Stewart (ed.), Thomas Griffiths Wainewright: Paradise Lost, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Tasmania, 2021, p. 150, 181 (illus.)


Regarded as the most representative collections of Thomas Griffith Wainewright's pictures in existence, the Nuttall Family Collection was amassed as a result of the friendship between Dr Robert Kennedy Nuttall and the artist. Wainewright, convicted of forgery and suspect of murder following the mysterious deaths of his grandfather, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, arrived with 301 other convicts aboard the Susan at Van Diemans Land in 1837.

By 1840 he was working as an orderly at the Colonial Hospital in Hobart Town where Nuttall had been appointed Assistant Surgeon at the age of 24. Nuttall, cultured and highly social in temperament, encouraged Wainewright to paint, commissioning numerous portraits of family members and promoting Wainewright to other figures of the Hobart society.

From 1840 until early April of 1844, Nuttall and Wainewright interacted daily, both at the Hospital and also at Nuttall's home where he sat for various portraits. One such sitting is described in Andrew Motion's fictionalised account of Wainewright's life, Wainewright the Poisoner as: 'With my journeyman's box and easel banging against my backbone, I soon reach the house of another friend – Dr Nuttall. As I unpack the tools of trade, he takes his chair in a corner, away from the sun, and arranges himself for me in a severe twist. He seems to be shaking hands with himself, and this, like his attire, makes him formal and dignified. Yet his hair, which I have often seen disordered as he walks the wards of the Hospital in a long rapture of sympathy and self-forgetting, looks almost on end, it is so loosely brushed from his brow. Noble face! (Noble whiskers and moustaches!) Discriminating Soul! I would have clasped you in the arms of friendship wherever I had found you. To have had your admiration and trust in this desperate place has been a comfort indeed.'1

Nuttall's high opinion of Wainewright and firm friendship would ultimately result in Wainewright being granted a ticket of leave soon after the application was lodged in 1844. Highly irregular, this was no doubt the product of Nuttall's year-long campaign of support that had commenced in 1843, and included Nuttall's brother-in-law, Frederick Clarke, who was the then Inspector. Dr Clarke's opinion is found in a document he prepared on 9 April 1844, 'I have much pleasure in recommending the Petitioner to the favourable consideration of His Excellency, I believe if this indulgence which he asks were granted, it would tend much to the improvement of his health, and that he would be able from his superior talents as an artist to provide for his own wants, and cease to be a burden on the Government. His conduct has been universally good during the long period I have known him and I feel assured that any indulgence or mitigation awarded by His Excellency will not be unworthily received.' 2 Following Clarke's recommendations, Wainewright prepared his own Petition shortly after, engaging the help of fellow convict-artist Thomas Bock in transcribing it.

The importance of and demand for Wainewright's abilities as a portraitist amongst Hobart society cannot be underestimated and this no doubt contributed to Wainewright's swift grant of his ticket of leave. 'Despite its reputation as the harshest, most reviled of penal outposts, the island was also home to those whose wealth enabled the establishment and maintenance of refined, elegant lifestyles. Their prosperity created significant demand for art. By the 1840s, Hobart had hosted Australia's first major art exhibition; and along with Launceston was supporting a substantial number of practitioners who answered the demand for art as proof of status, wealth and social mobility. The island sustained a cultural industry equal to and even outstripping that of Sydney, until the early 1850s.'

Throughout the 1840s until his death in 1847, Wainewright was to produce portraits of 56 sitters, a legacy which has resulted in a detailed view of the various members of that lively colonial community. Joanne Gilmore, in her catalogue Elegance in Exile notes 'Wainewright created a small but potent body of work since seized on by art historians for its finesse and by others for the sample it allows one to draw of colonial society's texture, structure and content. Not just as the best trained, best connected and most accomplished of artists who came here as convicts, Wainewright appeals deeply also as someone who produced portraits by which the workings and intersections of the community he inhabited can be mapped; as an individual whose ultimately sad and stunted experience here presents a compelling case study in the chancy nature of convictism and exile.'4

In April of 1844, Robert Kennedy Nuttall, along with his brother-in-law Frederick Clarke and family, left Hobart for India with luggage full of portraits including these examples. Robert Kennedy Nuttall was to ultimately find his way to California, passing away in San Francisco in May of 1881. In his Will, the various portraits of the Nuttall family by Wainewright were bequeathed to various siblings and children, notably his son, George Henry Falkiner Nuttall, and have remained within the family since.

The Library of the late Bill Evans (1946-2024)
Renowned Sydney antique rug and tribal art dealer, Bill Evans, was born in Minneapolis in 1946. After graduating magna cum laude in History from the University of Minnesota, Bill’s interest in the history and cultures of the world inspired him to travel widely in his 20s, visiting Thailand, Bali, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan where he would live for four years. It was here that his love and knowledge of the rugs from this region was born and would develop into his future business.

Following a trip to Australia, Bill decided to make Sydney his next home, opening the Caspian Gallery on Oxford Street, Paddington, in the early 1980s, dealing in exceptional antique rugs. The business naturally broadened to include Oceanic, Asian and tribal art and artefacts thanks to the interests he developed through the relationships he built with enthusiastic collectors and scholars in the field. He became a respected and leading dealer and expert, corresponding with international dealers, collectors and academics on these subjects and selling to important private collections and public institutions around the world. Bill was a founding member of the Oceanic Art Society which was established in 1996 and became the Australian representative of international publication, Tribal Art magazine.

Throughout his career Bill would build his own exceptional personal collection of antique rugs, textiles and artefacts, acquiring and deaccessioning items to refine and develop the collection over time, eventually focusing particularly on shields from New Guinea, Borneo, Asia and Australia. In 2019 he published the magnificent two-volume War Art & Ritual: Shields from the Pacific centred around his museum-quality collection, with essays and contributions from some of the most respected curators and experts in the field. For the last two years of his life he had been dedicated to producing a second War, Art & Ritual publication dedicated to the shields of Queensland. Despite his untimely passing in 2024, Bill’s daughter, Sabina and the contributing authors hope to complete this passion project and to publish it posthumously, honouring his lifelong legacy.

Bill’s library is testament to a tireless passion for learning and understanding and the endless pursuit of knowledge by a true polymath. He read widely on many subjects, diving deeply into them by sourcing rare and interesting academic and historical texts from around the world and by studying museum collections and archives. He was incredibly generous with his knowledge and would undoubtedly be pleased to know that his extensive library will now pass on to many passionate readers and collectors around the world.

Wilson Willian framemaker 1810-1869view full entry
Reference: William Wilson [1810-1869] an English frame-maker working in Launceston from about 1842 until the early 1850s.
see DAAO: framemaker, carver and gilder, was born in Yorkshire on 6 November 1810. In 1832, William Wilson, joiner, married Mary Megson at Christ Church, Sculcoates, Yorks. For about six years from 1835 he lived and worked in Castle Street, Kingston-upon-Hull as a carver and gilder or cabinetmaker. His emigration to Tasmania in 1841 or 1842 may have owned something to George Peck , also from Hull, who had emigrated in 1833, returned to exhibit his Hobart Town model 'to encourage emigrants’ in 1839 and lived in Hull in the 1840s.
Wilson produced decorative gilt frames in Launceston from his arrival in about 1842 until the mid-1850s. He worked as a carver, gilder, looking glass, picture frame and composition ornament manufacturer, upholsterer etc from his home in St John Street, then Welman Street for four years (an advertisement in the Cornwall Chronicle 2 November 1844 mentions his removal and states that orders could be left with Mr Couzens, Chemist, St John Street). He moved back to the business area of Launceston – Charles Street – in 1849. In 1852 he returned to Welman Street and no longer advertised as a carver and gilder but as a 'Wholesale Dealer in Wines’ and wine merchant in 1854-55, though in the latter year William Wilson Junior was listed as a carver and gilder. William Wilson junior exhibited 5 oil paintings in the 1860 Launceston exhibition (no artists’ name or title of works given). As well as his son William Wilson junior, his apprentices included Charles Allen, a family friend and later a relation by marriage. Both young men ceased making frames in their mid-20s.
In the late 1850s William Wilson senior moved to Cressy and became licensee of the Cressy Hotel. By 1861, however, he had returned to his Welman Street home in Launceston, where he died on 5 July 1869, aged 58. He and Mary had 9 children, five born in Launceston.
Cahill Anthonyview full entry
Reference: see Day Gallery website: Anthony Cahill has been a practicing artist exhibiting in commercial and public galleries in Australia and abroad since 1982. His work explores absurdist notions around the representation of landscape and a human relationship with it. Cahill’s images are derived initially through direct observation; although he will mash up images from various sources, including from social media to arrive at a subject to paint, He works without concern for any formal boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Cahill enjoys exploring notions of living in a seemingly absurd world and his working method is intuitive and improvisational.
His work is in private and public collections in Australia and Europe.

Macquarie Elizabeth architectural pattern booksf view full entry
Reference: from Museums of History New South Wales. Most students of Australian history attribute the architectural achievements of Governor Macquarie’s era to Macquarie’s architect Francis Greenway.
However, the evidence collected by Commissioner Bigge during his inquiry into the state of the colony of NSW, submitted to the British Parliament in July 1823, includes a number of direct references to the involvement of the governor’s wife, Elizabeth Macquarie, in matters architectural.
The Reverend Samuel Marsden, for example, told Bigge that Mrs Macquarie had explained that the plan for the Parramatta Orphan School was ‘drawn upon the plan of a gentleman’s house in Scotland’. Greenway himself reported that a house in Macquarie Place for the Governor’s Secretary, built before Greenway’s appointment as Acting Civil Architect in March 1815, came from ‘a book of cottage architecture’ owned by Mrs Macquarie.

The book in question was Edward Gyfford’s Designs for elegant cottages and small villas, published in London in 1806, a copy of which is in the Caroline Simpson Library Collection.

Bass Tom sculpture for the Fairfax building on Broadwayview full entry
Reference: see John McDonald Blog, numbver 588, April 2025, pnline, ‘Consigned to flames’ - begins ‘In 1956, Tom Bass (1916-2010), the sculptor who would dominate public art in Australia for at least two decades, began work on a large-scale relief for the Fairfax building on Broadway. That sculpture, The Sydney Morning Herald (1956-59) was a typical Bass creation, combining a very literal narrative with modernist stylisation. Moulded in clay and cast in a copper alloy, it was characteristic of its time.
The sculpture occupied a prominent position at the entrance to the building until 1995, when Fairfax moved to Sussex Street. It was temporarily installed at the publishing plant in Chullora, but reinstated when the company moved again, to Pyrmont in 2007. A final move in August 2020, after Fairfax had been taken over by NINE Media, saw the SMH and other publications housed in Denison Street, North Sydney.
This time there would be no reprieve. When the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio (TBSS), which looks after the artist’s legacy, approached NINE to find out whether the sculpture would be relocated, they were told the Winten Property Group declined to include the work in their plans, and had commissioned a piece from contemporary installation artist, Nike Savvas. That piece, Chroma Haze, is a formalist arrangement of coloured steel tubes hanging from the ceiling. In one stroke, NINE had demonstrated its complete disregard for Fairfax’s traditions and heritage by replacing a sculpture full of meaning with a large decorative abstraction. One wonders why the two pieces, so very different, couldn’t co-exist in an entire office block....’

The work was published under the direction of M. de Sainson in Paris by Arthus Bertrand between 1833 and 1835. The aquatint engravings are on india paper with a blind stamp in the lower margin.

The work included beautiful views of Reunion Island and Mauritius, Singapore, Manila, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro. The work has been described as "perhaps the finest series of plates to any of the picturesque voyages" (Sabin 38985) and "...sumptuous.... They are some of the most beautiful plates of the kind in existence..." (Borba de Moraes p. 458)

Captain Laplace began is around the world voyage from Toulon on December 30, 1829 aboard the corvette La Favorite. He was commissioned to circumnavigate the globe by the French government. He passed through Gibralter, Goree, Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Saint-Louis de la Reunion, Indies, Singapore, Manila, Canton, Indonesia, Sydney, New Zealand, Vaplparaiso Cape Horn, and Rio de Janeiro before returning to Toulon on April 21, 1832.

"In December 1829, Laplace was commissioned to take an expedition to India, the East Indies and South East Asia, and then, if he chose to do so, proceed through the South Pacific. His instructions were to provide protection for French merchant vessels and obtain at each port-of-call information which might be of value to French trade." (Hill)

"From the scientific viewpoint, Laplace’s voyage was one of the most successful. The maps made from surveys in the Pacific and the collections which were assembled became famous during that period." (Borba de Moraes)

Elizabeth Caroline Armstrong (28 September 1859 – 21 February 1930)
was an Australian artist and art teacher. She was the first in a long line of influential female art educators appointed to the South Australian School of Design. According to one art historian, she was the first woman to hold a teaching post in a major Australian art school.
Gill proposed Armstrong as Painting Mistress in his plan to merge the two schools after Tannert’s resignation in 1892. He stressed her ability and qualifications and asserted the benefits of a female teacher for a largely female student body. Gill was made head of the School of Design and Painting, and Armstrong was appointed at a salary of £100 per annum, substantially lower than what Tannert had enjoyed as head of school. Her post commenced in February 1893.
Armstrong was the first in what art historian Catherine Speck has called the ‘long and distinguished tradition of employing women artists as educators’ at the South Australian School of Arts and its predecessors. Her students who went on to become teachers at that institution included Gladys Good, Margaret Kelly (later Walloschech), Beulah Leicester, Jessamine Buxton, Gwen Barringer and Dora Chapman. Another student was Stella Bowen, whose oil painting of oleanders was one of the works from Armstrong’s still-life class that impressed critics in an exhibition in May 1912.
Armstrong exhibited floral paintings with success. Her Hollyhocks were among a number of paintings from South Australian artists sold in the 1898 Exhibition of Australian Art in London. She received praise for Wattle from Sunny New South Wales and Cosmos in the Society of Arts’ Federal Exhibition in the Institute Building in 1900. In 1903 her oil painting, Ranunculus, was hung in the Federal Exhibition and then purchased by the Art Gallery of South Australia. A gallery catalogue later described it as a ‘fine floral study’ and ‘one of the many successes that this artist has achieved’ in this genre. Catherine Speck suggests that Armstrong should be acknowledged as an early painter of Australian flora and refers to her ‘majestic’ Waratahs c.1906. Three of Armstrong’s paintings were included in the First Australian Exhibition of Women’s Work in Melbourne in 1907, and she continued to exhibit locally with distinction until her retirement.
Armstrong was the first female office-bearer in the Society of Arts, serving as Vice-President from 1923 to 1928 and as a member of its council for 26 years. She was also president of the Art Club, another society for exhibition and discussion, from 1918 to 1920.
From the end of 1913 until the end of 1914, she took leave-of-absence from her teaching post to visit art schools and galleries in London, France, Italy, and Russia. Subsequently, she delivered a number of lectures and talks on aspects of international art at the Art Gallery and to art groups.
Teaching was a vocation for Armstrong, and she did not end her employment at the School of Arts and Crafts until her seventieth birthday, the Education Department’s date for compulsory retirement. She had held the post for over thirty-six years.

Reference: see Nightfall in the Ti-Tree, Woodcuts by Geraldine Rede and Violet Teague.
[The following information from Douglas Stewart Fine Books, April 2025: “The earliest known example of colour relief printing in Australia.” – Art Gallery of New South Wales

‘In 1905 Violet Teague, in collaboration with her friend Geraldine Rede, handprinted Night Fall in the Ti-Tree at the Sign of the Rabbit Press, in the Teague family home at 89 Collins Street, Melbourne. Nine decades later the charm of this book remains, the National Gallery of Australia having published a facsimile edition in 1988. Although Teague produced other prints and illustrated other books her reputation as a graphic artist rests on this publication’. Roger Butler, Violet Teague and Japonisme, Printed Works, in Violet Teague 1872 – 1951, The Beagle Press, 1999.

Night fall in the ti-tree was privately printed by hand in 1905 and a few copies released for sale in December that year. The price was three shillings and sixpence. A copy made its way to art publisher Elkin Mathews in London, probably via distributor and publisher Robert Jolley, who agreed to sell the book in Britain. Teague re-designed the title page, crediting herself as author of the text, and changing the imprint to add Elkin Mathews as publisher and the date as 1906. The artists cut and coloured each of the blocks (some images requiring multiple blocks), as well as signing many of the images – all original artworks – in fine black ink. Examination of institutional copies reveals distinct variations in the quality of print and colour; this, coupled with the fact that not all copies are signed on the same plates, is reflective of the hand-made nature of the book. Butler comments that ‘…despite having an English agent it seems that very few copies of it were printed or sold. The dozen copies known to exist come from family, friends and fellow artists. Nevertheless, the book stands as the earliest and purest example in Australia of printmaking and book production in the Japoniste style. It also remains as a compelling children’s story’. Butler, p. 71

‘Their book is the earliest known example of colour relief printing in Australia, and a very early example of the influence of Japanese woodblock techniques on Australian printmaking.’ – AGNSW website https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/250.1983/#about

As the covers of this book are handprinted woodblocks (as are all the pages), they are susceptible to rubbing, which is very pronounced in both the examples in the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, with some of the imagery obscured.
A fragile work, this example is in splendid condition.]

Reference: Art and Authenticity, edited by Jan Lloyd Jones and Julian Lamb.
Authenticity is a formidable word, a dangerous word, a word whereby fortunes, careers and reputations can be won or lost. But what has authenticity to do with art? The essays in this book focus on their turbulent relationship ranging across the fields of literature and the visual arts and philosophy, and covering topics as diverse as fictional biography, portraiture, copies and forgeries, war photography, letters as testimony and texts in translation. The reader encounters Erasmus, Rousseau, Heidegger, Beckett, Borges, and Houellebecq; engages with subjects as varied as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, da Vinci's La Belle Ferronnière, and Million Dollar Baby.

Authenticity is a formidable word, a dangerous word, a word whereby fortunes, careers and reputations can be won or lost. But what has authenticity to do with art? The essays in this book focus on their turbulent relationship ranging across the fields of literature and the visual arts and philosophy, and covering topics as diverse as fictional biography, portraiture, copies and forgeries, war photography, letters as testimony and texts in translation. The reader encounters Erasmus, Rousseau, Heidegger, Beckett, Borges, and Houellebecq; engages with subjects as varied as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, da Vinci's La Belle Ferronnière, and Million Dollar Baby.

SCHJELDERUD
BY BASIL BURDETT
RIKARD SCHJELDERUP, who came to Australia from Europe about twelve months ago, although a Norwegian, was born in Dresden, whither his father's interests as an operatic composer had taken the family. His father's operas were produced in Germany as well as in his native Norway, and contact with the theatre naturally directed the young Schjelderup's awakening artistic instincts towards it so that it is not surprising to learn that his first studies were in theatrical décor. This was at Oslo but, the family returning to Germany, he entered an art school in Munich, wherein the principles of the French school, particularly those deriving from Matisse, obtained. The influences which surrounded these early studies were afterwards confirmed by the Norwegian master, Edvard Munch, whose influence, although never in personal contact with him, he came afterwards to feel very strongly through his work. Munch, belonging to an older generation, and who is essentially post-impressionistic in spirit and his work in which he adapted the new modes to the requirements of expression in his own country, preserves that sense of Northern colour which is the product of a particular and characteristic Scandinavian light, and which Schjelderup considers a major feature of his own work.
After four years in Munich, Schjelderup returned Norway, having, in the meantime, furnished the scenery for the production of one of the paternal operas. In Norway he painted portraits and continued his studies from Nature. He also studied etching and drypoint and his portraits in these media secured him connection with England, in which country and France he afterwards travelled. In England he married the Irish actress, Natalie Moya, and accompanied her to Australia on the present tour. In this country he quickly got down to work, and both Sydney and Melbourne saw the products of his brush in exhibitions held about the middle of last year. Their vigour of attack and their colour attracted some critics and repelled others, who felt them to be immature and not strongly drawn. They were a fresh note, how-ever, and proved a stimulus to many of the younger generation of artists here. Since that exhibition Schjelderup has travelled in the Pacific, chiefly in the Fijian and Loyalty Islands, and this work formed the basis of his recent, second exhibition in Sydney, several of the pictures being reproduced in this number. In common with Aletta Lewis, as a visitor to this country, perhaps because Australia has not realised possible anticipations in respect to savage life and exotic scenery, he has been drawn to the islands of the South Seas, indicating fields which our own artists have so far ignored, with the sole exception of Harold Herbert, who has painted in New Caledonia.

OTHER NOTES: 
Travelling to London in 1896, Portia Geach became the first Australian to win a tuition scholarship to the Royal Academy School, where she studied under influential and well-known British artists. Returning to Australia in 1900, she focused on figural studies, portraits and atmospheric landscapes. 
Portia directed much of her life advocating for the rights of women in Australia after feeling the weight of difference between male and female artists. 
After the artist's death in 1959, The Portia Geach Memorial Award was brought to fruition by her sister Florence. Often referred to as the female Archibald Prize, is Australia's most significant prize for Australian female portrait artists.

nude in Australian artview full entry
Reference: Notes from John McDonald’ launch of Paul McGillick’s Slow Reveal: The Nude in Australian Art at Australian Galleries, Sydney.:
Last week, I agreed to launch Paul McGillick’s Slow Reveal: The Nude in Australian Art at Australian Galleries, Sydney. In response to a number of requests I’m posting a tidied-up version of that brief address. It’s not an essay or a review, so the tone may be a bit more conversational than most of the pieces on this site.
In 1990 the Manning Regional Art Gallery in Taree was planning – in time-honoured Australian fashion – to host an art prize. They asked me if I had any ideas about a theme, and I suggested the nude, or rather a prize that looked at Kenneth Clark’s famous distinction between the naked and the nude. They took up the idea, and a prize was born. It’s scary to think that was 35 years ago!
The nude is one of the classical themes of art, but it seems remarkable that it has always had such a minor presence in Australia. We have numerous competitions devoted to portraiture or landscape, but as far as I know, Taree’s Naked & Nude Art Prize is the only one that deals with the human body in a state of nudity, or semi-nudity.
It's just as remarkable that Paul McGillick’s Slow Reveal, is – to the best of my knowledge – the only dedicated study of the nude in Australian art. It’s an initiative that was long overdue, and Paul has taken up the subject with the kind of thoroughness the subject required. His book traces the peripatetic history of the nude from Thomas Bock’s private sketches of his wife, Mary Ann, made in the 1840s in old Hobart Town, to contemporary artists such as Dagmar Cyrulla and Bill Henson, who have made the nude a central theme in their work.
One sobering detail is a brief postscript in which Paul tells us that he approached 20 publishers before Yarra & Hunter agreed to take up the manuscript. This in itself reveals a range of attitudes towards the nude that one might have thought had no place in a society that imagines itself to be culturally and intellectually mature.
Read almost anything about the ancient Greeks and Romans, and it’s obvious that nudity was not seen as prurient. For the Greeks, the body and the soul were closely aligned. The athletes in the Olympic Games competed in the nude, and ideas of beauty were not pushed aside by base notions of carnality. “Eros” was a complex subject that didn’t simply translate into “sex”. I’m not sure we can say the same thing today.
In recent years, our fragile culture has become obsessed with grievances and victimhood. We imagine being “safe” as the highest of aspirations, even though it’s an utterly banal idea that invites mediocrity. There is a pervasive fearfulness that looks for problems where they don’t exist, imagining every male to be an incipient predator, and every nude to be a work of pornography intended to satisfy that predatory “male gaze”. The body has become offcially taboo again, in a way we haven’t seen since Victorian times, even as the Internet is awash with every form of pornographic gratification.
Add to this, the tedious identity obsessions that have invaded contemporary art and intellectual life and you’ll find many people who will complain that Paul hasn’t given sufficient prominence to Aboriginal people, queer theory, and other worthy categories. The fact is, “nudity” was not an idea that had much traction in traditional Aboriginal society, which had an uncomplicated atttude towards the body. Our own fears and fancies spring from a Judeo-Christian tradition that dates back to the Garden of Eden, when God thunders at Adam and Eve: “Who told you that you were naked?” (Genesis 3:10-11)
As for the “queer” lobby, Paul shows that the nude has been a theme for artists of both heterosexual and homosexual persuasions, but he avoids the more contentious theorising that seeks to find hidden sexual meanings in unlikely places. There’s really no better example than the AGNSW’s Queering the Collection program, that used rainbow labels to identify “queer” artists in the museum’s permanent holdings, such as Margaret Preston or Rupert Bunny, who are believed to have had homosexual liaisons in their younger days. For some reason, the AGNSW seemed to believe they were doing the artist a great service by ‘outing’ them in this way. I doubt the artists woud have agreed.
The idea that museums should be more concerned with the race or gender of the artist than their actual work, is entirely pernicious. It imagines itself as a very progressive thing, but it merely replaces one form of prejudice with another. What’s not racist about judging artists as good or bad in relation to their ethnographic origins?
At the risk of seeming conservative or old-fashioned, Paul sticks to a very basic understanding of what art is, and why we remain so fascinated by it. He believes it’s important to recognise “that art continues to effectively do what it has always aimed to do from cave paintings to the present day: to provoke us into reflecting on what it means to be alive on this planet.”
This should not be controversial. And neither should Kenneth Clark’s claim that over time the nude became an end in itself, as well as a way of reflecting on the human condition.
The merest glance at the images in this book shows us the wide range of styles, approaches and motivations that Australian artists have pursued in relation to the nude. It’s clear the nude cannot be reduced to any one thing or subjected to any textbook set of interpretations. How, for intance, could one compare one of Norman Lindsay’s leering, pneumatic pin-up girls, with an austere figure by Godfrey Miller, carved up into an abstract grid? There are works, such as Brett Whiteley’s, in which the body is depicted in a sensual manner, and ones in which the nude is largely a vehicle for a pictorial idea, as in the Cubistic images of Dorrit Black and Grace Crowley.
John Brack is one of the notable painters of the nude in Australian art, but there is a cerebral aspect to his work that keeps sexuality at bay. Ivor Hele, on the other hand - known for his conventional tonalist portraits (he won the Archibald prize five times) - painted nudes that were intimate, overtly sensual, and almost perverse in their fascination with fetish items such as stockings, underwear and less-than-classical poses.
There are the emblematic Art Deco nudes of Rayner Hoff, and his students such as Jean Broome-Norton, intended to embody a vitalist philosophy, and the psychological nudes of Dagmar Cyrulla, who makes us feel we are only seeing one fragment of a larger story. And then there are those pictures Paul calls the “one-offs”, nothing more striking than Freda Robertshaw’s brash, self-confident full frontal, self-portrait of 1943, in which the artist’s shoes and neat hairdo, seem to emphasise her nudity. Another one-off, although not the only nude painted by this artist, is Robert Hannaford’s Tubes (2007), a self-portrait made while he was being treated for cancer, which shows a plastic tube protuding from his torso.
In a book like this, Clark’s division between the naked and the nude becomes impossible to avoid, although it’s open to interpretation. While the nude has overtones of tradition and social respectability, nakedness implies a brute honesty about the human body - literally having nothing to hide.
In the late Victorian era, and in the Paris salons, there was a great deal of hypocrisy involved in the painting of the nude, as classical or orientalist themes enabled artists to smuggle in the most titillating content. I was reminded of such last week in Broken Hill, when confronted with Arthur Hacker’s 1890 work, Vae victis! The sack of Morocco by the Almohades, woe to the vanquished – a rip-roaring scene of pale, scantily clad women and young girls being piled up like sacks of potatoes by evil-looking arabs.
Confronted by such outrageous double standards, one can appreciate the blunt honesty of a “naked” image by a contemporary artist.
But whether we wince at the soft porn peddled by the Victorians, or stand quizzically in front of a busy Godfrey Miller, surely Clark is right, when he says: “no nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even though it be only the faintest shadow – and if it does not do so, it is bad art and false morals.”
While acknowledging this insight at the very start of the book, Paul could be accused of underplaying it, in seeking to demonstrate the many and various ways the nude finds its place in Australian art history. Despite himself, he makes the nude respectable, when a large part of its appeal will always be the persistent, unnerving curiosity we feel about other human bodies.
This feeling is not limited to the viewer but finds its way into many works in which we can sense the sexual tension between artist and model. I’ve always discerned a trace of that tension in Emanuel Phillips Fox’s paintings of Edith Anderson, whose red hair and red pubic thatch makes her instantly recognisable in so many paintings. There’s such implicit tenderness and sensuality in these paintings that Fox’s wife, Ethel Carrick, must have felt relieved when Edith got married to Penleigh Boyd and gave up the modelling.
Janet Cumbrae-Stewart’s exquisite pastels form another body of work in which we can feel the artist’s fascination with the young women who act as her models. The poses, the props, the play of what is revealed or concealed, testify to an interest that goes beyond aesthetics, giving these images a charge that hasn’t diminished over time.
Even John Brack’s works, in which he allegedly set out to “de-eroticise” the nude, still hold a residual erotic pulsation. It’s the very intensity of Brack’s probing, analytical eye we feel taking in every aspect of the model’s body, measuring and re-arranging it within the composition. By reducing the body to simple volumes, he makes us aware of how skinny or plump his subject might be, how far she deviates from the classical ideal. We feel these deviations as documents of real life – of nakedness, if you like – rather than the lies of art.
And so it is that we need to hail this long-awaited book, as an overview of a subject fundamental to art, but whose ultimate appeal goes far beyond artistic convention. The universality of bodily experience guarantees the undying appeal of the nude, even as we seek to marginalise the topic, or categorise it into oblivion. Reading Paul’s book made me think of many other works that could have been featured in its pages, suggesting there’s a big story yet to be told. For anyone who undertakes that task this book will be foundational. Indeed, it’s only after reading the book one realises that a foundation is precisely what has been missing all along.
Ladies, gentlemen & others, I give you Paul McGillick’s Slow Reveal: The Nude in Australian Art.

Burton, William Francis

South Seas landscape. Gouache on paper. 25.5 x 19 cm. Signed. Framed under passepartout and behind glass.

William Francis Burton was an English marine and landscape painter. Among other things, he spent a year in Australia to train his eye and perfect his technique. A central focus was on tropical landscapes, particularly those of the South Seas. Like the present work, these pictures often show pristine beaches, gently curving palm trees, turquoise water and dense vegetation. Burton was able to capture the special light mood and colors of the tropical island world. His South Seas paintings are in the tradition of British artists who romanticized the exoticism of distant lands. He combined European painting techniques with the atmospheric effect of tropical light conditions. His works were often reproduced as prints and are still valued on the art market today. - Remnants of earlier mounting on verso. Paper slightly browned due to age and with a few tiny stains. Overall very good with harmonious composition and spherical, fresh color effect.

Notes
Between 1965 and 1990 Stephen Scheding built up an extensive collection of Australian paintings which focused particularly on Sydney artists. In the early 1990s, Scheding sold some of his collection to focus more on his work as a psychologist and on writing. Since that time he has written two books on Australian art including the best-selling A Small Unsigned Painting, Sydney, 1998, and has written and illustrated three children's books. But, unable to completely rid himself of the collecting bug, he continued to buy paintings. He is currently anticipating giving up his role as a psychologist to retire to a life of researching and writing.

Henry Turbit (or Turbett) arrived in Sydney as a convict in 1816 on board the Mariner. He was origianlly from Middlesex and had been sentenced to transportation for a seven year sentence. No other works by him are known to exist.

Cora Gooseberry was the wife of Bungaree and was commonly known as Queen Gooseberry. A 1844 lithograph of her based on a drawing by another convict, Charles Rodius, is titled 'Gooseberry One Eyed Poll'. She is also seen sitting behind Bungaree in a lithograph published in 1830 based on a work by Augustus Earle. Gooseberry was a Sydney identity who, with her family, often camped outside the Cricketer's Arms, a hotel on the corner of Pitt and Market Streets. According to the artist George French Angus she could spin a yarn as convincingly as Bungaree. The drawing of the Aboriginal holding a boomerang, while in poor condition, is interesting in that it shows, albeit crudely, a relationship between indigenous and non indigenous people and it is interesting to speculate where the convict artists' sympathies might lie.

The small drawing of the European woman, if it too is by Henry Turbit, may be a portrait of the woman the convict left behind? Infuriatingly, the name of the town inscribed on the back of the work is indecipherable. Could the artist mean Somerton in Somerset, England?

Provenance
Judah Solomon, Hobart Town; thence by descent through the Solomon and Benjamin families
Private collection, New South Wales
Notes
Executed in 1835 (Woureddy) and 1836 (Trucaninny)
PROPERTY OF VARIOUS VENDORS
TOGETHER WITH

two cedar pedestals, Australia, early 19th century, each a circular tray top with moulded rim above a turned column on circular ring foot and square base

Both approximately 103.5cm high including attached blocks, tops 32.5cm and 29cm diameter respectively 

In the Hobart Town Courier of 7 October 1836, amongst advertisements for J.W. Davis's stock of flutes, guitars, bird organs, musical snuff boxes and pianos, for the stallions 'Duncan Gray' and 'Tom Thumb' being offered at stud and for numerous parcels of Vandiemonian real estate, there appeared a small announcement:

TRUCANINNY
B. Law begs to inform the subscribers to his busts of the Aborigines of this Colony, that he has now completed his model of the female, Trucaninny, and has several duplicates ready for delivery, either in Bronze or colour. No. 76, Murray street. Likenesses moddled and busts executed in marble, bass-relief, etc.

Truganini was the second of two portrait busts of the Nuenonne (Bruny Island) Aborigines Woureddy and Truganini. Both sitters were well-known in the colony as members of George Augustus Robinson's 'Friendly Mission' to conciliate the few remaining 'wild' natives of the Big River and Oyster Bay tribes. Probably initially commissioned by Robinson himself, they were the work of Benjamin Law, a fellow Wesleyan, recent immigrant and settler Australia's first professional sculptor. Law's busts were offered by public subscription at four guineas apiece, a relatively high price, and certainly well above the 30 shillings being asked by Benjamin Duterrau for his somewhat coarser and rather more modest plaster reliefs.υ1

The superior quality of Law's portrait busts was immediately apparent to all who saw them. Of the first it is reported that Woureddy himself was 'highly pleased with the model'υ2, while the Courier declared it 'a beautiful cast' and 'most happily executed.'υ3 Law's wife Hannah wrote to a relative in September 1835 that 'Casts ... are called for not only in all Quarters of the Colony, but are being sent to India, to Sweeden [sic], to England, Scotland, and one went last week to Cambridge Colledge [sic], the Gift of the rural Dean of this Land the Governor [Lt-Gov. George Arthur] has purchased one and ordered a second he is sending one to the Home Secretary, the Attorney General etc., and indeed all the great people...'υ4 Several years later, when the companion portrait of Truganini had been completed, the True Colonist reported that 'scientific gentlemen' had described the pair as 'works of very great merit'υ5, while even the hard-to-please John Lhotsky described them as 'perfect likenesses ... altogether a respectable work.'υ6

The verisimilitude of the sculptures is well-illustrated by the response of Dumont d'Urville's Pacific research expedition of 1837-1840. The scientists' conventional practice was for their naturalist and phrenologist, Dr Pierre Dumoutier, to take life casts of heads of the various ethnic types encountered en route, but on visiting Hobart Town in December 1839 they were happy to acquire a set of the Law plasters, and indeed to reproduce them in the official account of the voyage. This decision may, however, have been based on practical as much as aesthetic considerations; by 1839-1840, when the Astrolabe and the Zelée visited Hobart Town, most of the surviving Palawa (Tasmanian Aborigines) were in protective custody on Flinders Island, while Robinson's 'friendly natives' (amongst them Woureddy and Truganini) had joined him in the Port Phillip District.υ7 

Indeed, the tragedy of the Tasmanian ethnocide during the 1830s and 1840s meant that Law's sculptures came to be regarded as of greater scientific than artistic interest, and the majority of casts surviving in public collections were originally acquired as ethnographic artefacts.υ8 Furthermore, despite Woureddy being applauded by the great chronicler of Australian art William Moore as 'a striking work boldly and effectively rendered'υ9, Law and his sculptures languished in the common neglect of colonial art through most of the 20th century.

However, with the publication of Mary Mackay's pioneering research in 1981, with the Australian National Gallery's acquisition of a set of the sculptures in the same year and with the works' inclusion in the Australian Bicentennial Authority touring show The Great Australian Art Exhibition, 'by the end of the 1980s Trucanini [sic] and Woureddy were on course to becoming the iconic colonial sculptures.'υ10 They are now respected as much for their intrinsic artistic quality as for their ethno-historical significance, with Christopher Allen describing them as 'among the few nineteenth century Australian sculptures worthy of serious consideration as art.'υ11 

The striking, almost intimate naturalismυ12 of the two portraits can obscure their underlying artifice. Although he described himself for purposes of immigration as an 'agriculturalist', and while his profession was to be stunted by the economic and cultural realities of colonial Van Diemen's Land, Benjamin Law was in fact a skilled and experienced artist, scion of a distinguished Sheffield artisan family.υ13 Despite their exotic subject matter and their precise ethnographic details (skin cloaks, Woureddy's kangaroo-sinew necklaces and ochre-dreadlocked hair, and Truganini's strands of marineer shells), the two busts are entirely consistent with the aesthetic of Law's training, that of late 18th and early 19th century neoclassicism,υ14 from their static, frontal orientation and associated clarity of contour to the conventional 'slicing' of the upper arms and the restrained, neo-Attic socles. Paradoxically, however, Law is here able to avoid the perennial problem of the neo-classical portraitist: the issue of 'decorum', the question of whether to show the sitter in modern or antique dress. Woureddy and Truganini's kangaroo-skin wraps are both contemporary and ancient-historical, with the further advantage of suggesting the Greek chlamys or Roman toga.

When considered in this framework, it is possible to read Law's sculptures as consciously idealising, showing Woureddy as (in Mary Mackay's memorable words) 'hunter, warrior and man-in-command, a Greek hero in kangaroo skin',υ15 and Truganini, the ultimate victim of the European invasion, the so-called 'Last Tasmanian', as an archetypal mourning figure: Electra grieving for her father, or Niobe for her children. Ultimately it is this curious colonial hybridity, this mélange of artistic intentions and languages that gives the present works their great distinction. As Deborah Edwards has written: 'Law's mastery lay in the creation of works which were (and are) simultaneously ethnographically shaped objects, intended mementos of a "doomed race", and exceptional portraits.'υ16

The busts additionally notable for being accompanied by a pair of elegant colonial turned cedar columns, their original supports from 'Temple House', Hobart. A handsome two-storey Georgian townhouse which still stands on the corner of Argyle and Liverpool Streets. 'Temple House' was built by Judah Solomon and his brother, Joseph, in the late 1820s and remained in the hands of their descendants until 1921, with the busts standing on these pedestals in the hallway. This provenance is highly suggestive; not only is 'Temple House' only two blocks from George Augustus Robinson's residence in Elizabeth Street (where Woureddy and Truganini were living or visiting at the time the portraits were taken), but the purchase might also signal a particular sympathy on the part of the doubly-exiled Jewish convict Judah Solomon for the displaced original Tasmanians.

We are most grateful to John McPhee for his assistance in cataloguing this work

7. Curiously, however, there are four other Palawa faces featured in the 'Anthropology' volume of the official account, and these evidently life casts: Guenney (Maulboyheenner) and Timmey (Probelattener) on plate 22 and Bourrakooroo and Ménalarguerna (Manalargenna) on plate 24. There are also images of male, female and juvenile Tasmanian skulls (pl.36) and a dissected skull, showing the brain (pl. 47).

8. From the 30 reputed original casts, eight pairs are known to exist in public collections - National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Tasmanian Museum & Art Gallery, South Australian Museum (on loan to Art Gallery of South Australia), Australian Museum (on loan to Art Gallery of New South Wales), Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery, British Museum and Musée de l'Homme - while individual busts are held at the Melbourne Museum and the University of Melbourne (Truganini) and at the University of Edinburgh and the Field Museum, Chicago (Woureddy).

12. The presumed close familiarity between Law and his Aboriginal sitters is supported by a passage in Ellen Law's correspondence, in which she writes: '...I assure you I have a great respect for them Trucaninny has often sat on the carpet at my feet and sung to me while I was working then she would say shuppe wine Missie Law I would give her a glass she would sing again, then shuppe wine I would say no Triggy you'll be ill, O you ugly Ole woman she would say very well Triggy go away don't expect any thing from me again then she would cry O vou vary nice Lady Messa Law fine fellow..." (Letter to Thomas Ellin, 22 May 1838, in Paul Paffen & Margaret Glover, 'The Hannah and Benjamin Law letters', Tasmanian Historical Research Association Papers and Proceedings, vol. 45 no. 3, September 1998, p. 178)
13. Law's grandfather Thomas was one of the pioneers of the Sheffield cutlery industry, and his father John and brother Joseph were also silversmiths, while another brother, Edward (1798-1838) also practised as a sculptor.

CATALOGUE TEXT
Alice Marian Ellen Bale was born at Richmond, Victoria on 11th November 1875, the only child of William Mountier Bale, Chief Inspector of Customs, and his wife Marian (née Adams). She attended Methodist Ladies College from 1885 to 1892 where she became interested in the arts and, having decided to become a painter, took private lessons from May Vale and Hugh Ramsay. In 1894, she was elected a member of the Victorian Artists’ Society, before enrolling at the National Gallery Art School in 1895 where she won nine major prizes during the course of her studies. During the stormy years of Max Meldrum’s Presidency of the Victorian Artists’ Society (1916 – 17), a group of his supporters formed the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society. Bale was their first secretary and under her leadership the Society flourished for 36 years.
 
Landscapes, interiors, portraits and still life were Bale’s main interests, and she became particularly renowned for her flower studies. Writing in the catalogue of the 6th Annual Exhibition of the Twenty Melbourne Painters in May 1924, she outlined her objectives in art thus: ‘Truth of tone, of proportion, of colour – that is the aim once the subject is chosen. And in the choosing of the subject such as arrangement of mass and line as shall delight the eye – for pleasure is the essence of Art. The principle of choice, of selection, is inherent in humanity, in the artist above all. It can never be alienated, though it may be unrecognised by its very possessors, and may act so unconsciously as not to feel like another is to be indifferent to all.’1
 
Illustrated on the cover of the 1994 National Australia Bank calendar entitled Domestic Life in Australia 1840 – 1920, the present scene features a couple engrossed in their newspapers, highlighting the importance of newsprint in the leisure moments of Melburnians’ domestic lives at the time. Notably, the male depicted is Bale’s father who, as a marine biologist and world authority on hydroids, bequeathed many of his specimens and reference books to the National Museum and National Herbarium, Melbourne. Most likely painted in her studio in Kew, The doorway was also included in an early exhibition of paintings by Miss Jo Sweatman and Miss A.M.E Bale held at the Upper Athenaeum Hall, Melbourne from May to June 1922 (under the title ‘Leisure’). And from the same exhibition the National Gallery of Victoria, upon the recommendation of the then-director L. Bernard Hall who held her art in high esteem, notably acquired her Scabiosa, c.1922 – the first work by Bale to enter the collection.
 
Throughout her life, Bale was staunch in her beliefs and penned numerous letters to newspapers on subjects such as acquisitions for the National Gallery of Victoria; a letter of protest to the Governor General concerning the formation of the Australian Academy of Art; and another to The Argus in 1937 arguing ‘…that there is no gender in art, only good and bad artists.’2 Upon her death on 14 February 1955, Bale’s will directed her trustees to establish an art scholarship bearing her name to encourage painting in representational or traditional art. The scholarship, first awarded in 1969, allowed the holder to live in the estate’s property, the Bale family home in Walpole Street, Kew. In 1981 the trust changed the terms of the scholarship, making it primarily a travelling one to enable Australian painting students to study the works of the old masters abroad.

Study for ‘Flight of a magpie’, 1956, pencil on paper, 28.0 x 38.4 cm, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth
One of Australia’s most admired contemporary artists, Howard Taylor’s interests in flight were first revealed as an avid model-maker while attending Perth Modern School in 1936. A pilot in WWII with both the RAF and RAAF, the experience of flight informed his art which was simultaneously rigorous, ingenious and underscored by a mastery of materials. The recipient of the inaugural Australia Council Emeritus Award, two Honorary Doctorates and recognised in Western Australia as a State Cultural Treasure and Citizen of the Year, Taylor’s art is in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia and all the state Galleries.
 
Taylor wrote to me often, and about flight twice, first in 1985 and again in 1998. He was keen to outline the chronology of his 1956 Flight series and how it coincided with ‘three dimensional interests occurring about the same time and an involvement with actual structures and sculptures… I painted Flight of a magpie with the figure / ground movement supported by the internal action of movement and space… interested in, fore and aft movement, aircraft structure and behaviour in the sky… Flight of a magpie precedes all the other jobs.’ Notes on this subject span years, and the artist’s journal served as a personal resource to support a master of painterly technique, something which sustained an ambition to know reality and transform visual discoveries into art.
 
Taylor constantly refined his interest in flight as a subject while seeking to understand through painting how the interaction of support, colour, texture and technique could serve artistic vision. Flight of a magpie II, 1995 is unique in many regards – a composition conceived in 1956, painted first in egg tempera, exhibited in 1957 and 1985, and gifted to his daughter. In 1995, the artist destroyed the first version and replaced it with this second version in oil and acrylic. He reused the original artist’s frame which, in depth and treatment, clearly indicates that Flight of a magpie was conceived to be an object on the wall – the earliest occurrence of this hallmark in the artist’s oeuvre. Taylor set himself the complex problem of bringing viewers beyond what he described as simply recognition. He was familiar with a technique known as grisaille from his study of Flemish painters as a student. His notes for this painting, like so many, are extensive and reveal the challenges of painting in shades of grey. Notations indicate the use of cool and warm whites and blacks in varying mixtures – opaque, translucent and pearlescent. And the greys are colourful, combinations enhanced with yellow ochre and red. Any modelling, a typical feature of grisaille, was subordinated so contour action could dominate, something highlighted in his notes.
 
Flight of a magpie II is situated at the very crux of a lifelong exploration of imagined and actual three-dimensional forms; something that was very much front of mind for the artist in 1995. Taylor was again building maquettes to use as subjects for paintings (such as Colonnade study, 1995) and producing monochromatic white wall reliefs. The title of one, No horizon, 1994 (National Gallery of Australia), is a reference to the spatial disorientation experienced by pilots – an example of the artist’s continuing interest in this optical phenomenon.
 
Taylor often revisited subjects and motifs so when the opportunity arose to create Flight of a magpie II, he had forty years of experience upon which to draw, an artist at the pinnacle of his powers. What makes this painting utterly unique as the aesthetic summation of the Flight series is a composition from early in his career rethought and rendered with hands, heart, and mind steeped in a lifetime of artistic excellence.
 
Taylor endeavoured to create analogies for what exists, what can be seen and what can be understood, and he never hesitated in reengaging with ideas first entertained decades earlier. Flight of a magpie II is a testament to the artist’s belief that the more one looks the more enlightening and replenishing visual experience in the Australian bush becomes. It also reminds me of his inimitable dry wit; as he reflected around this time, ‘What does it take to be a good artist? Two ideas and a lot of hard work. And why most artists fail is because they spend their time looking for a third idea and do not put in the arduous work required to fully realise the first two.’

CATALOGUE TEXT
In the year 2000, the late and great art critic John Berger wrote that a still life, as a contrived arrangement of selected objects, was intimately linked with the domestic art of keeping house, and thus, ‘Every still life is about safety, just as every landscape is about risk and adventure.’1 Contravening this assertion, Jude Rae’s still life SL312, 2013 bristles with underlying menace, the threat of explosive combustion poised in a delicate equilibrium.
 
A deceptively simple presentation of three items: an open cylindrical jar made of glass, half-filled with a clear liquid, a small hand-held fire extinguisher and a bulbous gas bottle, Rae’s painting strips away the warm and nostalgic notions of still life to instead interrogate the very act of perception and representation. With characteristic introspection, she writes: ‘Traditionally loaded up with allegory and religious symbolism, the trappings of status or domesticity, I prefer its [still life’s] other inclinations: to detail, to the overlooked, even the abject. Unlike other genres which lend themselves to expression and narrative, still life is a strange and largely mute mixture of the analytical and the sensual.’2
 
Distilled to their most essential expression, Rae’s still lives evoke the airy sensuality of Chardin and the lyrical subtlety of Morandi. Like these masters of the genre, Rae’s direct presentation of her chosen items imbues them with an abstract monumentality, an effect of the sustained attention she had lavished on such everyday items. This is a painting of the spatial and tonal relationships between these objects, of the subtle reflections and refractions of the light around their contours. Although outwardly appearing static and solid, Rae’s objects are unbounded, their vibrating edges tend to disintegrate into the atmosphere before our eyes. Smooth and hard surfaces become velvety with her precise, chalky brushstrokes. Built up in accretions, Rae’s colour values are carefully orchestrated, conjuring a pearlescent sheen on the gas bottle’s shoulder and collar, and a yellowed griminess around the rim of the glass cylinder. The water-refracted red stripes of the fire extinguisher in the fluted surface of the glass imply an exact viewpoint held by the artist, the slightest deviation from which would ruin the present optical effects.
 
Grounded in extensive theoretical knowledge and savoir-faire, Jude Rae speaks of her studio as a laboratory and numbers her still-life paintings in a continuous sequence beginning with the initials SL. Within the confines of this formal rigour, Rae’s still lifes have evolved from academic depictions of swathes of drapery in the 1990s, to arrangements of vintage crockery, to a suite of still lives featuring gas bottles, coinciding with the artist’s relocation to Canberra in 2002. While her early fabric paintings overtly depicted the act of concealment, the later table-top arrangements play with the same concerns through combinations of open and closed vessels, transparent surfaces and hermetically sealed containers.
 
SL312 is painted at eye-height, dead straight, and with minimal shadows. With nowhere to hide, the silhouetted cluster of objects is slightly off-kilter. The gas bottle, seductively ballooned, stands apart. Its weighty material presence and pressurised interior overpower the two narrower objects, the fire extinguisher even seeming to cower behind the jar. The taut balance of the entire painting is held within the vertical sliver of air between these objects, a weighted pause in the centre of the image.

CATALOGUE TEXT
Thomas Griffiths Wainewright is without doubt one of the finest portraitists to have worked in the Australian colonies in the mid nineteenth century. His elegant portraits of well-to-do Hobart residents demonstrate his assured draughtsmanship and close observation of character. His distinctive elongation of facial features combined current aesthetic ideals with his intimate knowledge of European art, from Classical art to Mannerism to Romanticism. Wainewright came from notably different circumstances to those of most convicts, with his crime self, rather than societally, induced. As a child, he had received a thorough classical education and was introduced to English intellectual circles through his grandfather, Ralph Griffiths, a successful publisher and literary editor. By his twenties, Wainewright was writing erudite articles and art reviews for British journals. He was also exhibiting at the Royal Academy, following periods of training with leading portraitists John Linnell and Thomas Phillips, and associating with artists including Henry Fuseli and William Blake. However, Wainewright’s indulgent London lifestyle soon outstripped his generous income, and he fraudulently gained access to funds in his grandfather’s estate. It was believed that he also poisoned his uncle, mother-in-law and sister-in-law who all died suddenly – to Wainewright and his wife’s financial benefit. While living under a pseudonym in France, Wainewright’s forgeries came to light and in 1837, he was sentenced to life transportation.
 
For the first two years of his term, Wainewright laboured on a road gang, housed in the Hobart Penitentiary, ‘without friends, good name (the breath of life) or art’, as he put it.1 Poor health proved advantageous when he was transferred to the Colonial Hospital where he befriended like-minded doctors. Their support and introductions, plus his eloquence and artistry, enabled him to improve his circumstances. Although he did not receive his Ticket of leave until 1844, from the late 1830s Wainewright captured the features of many of the families of Hobart’s developing settler society in fluid pencil lines and subtly applied watercolour.
 
One such person was Edward Lord (1781 – 1859), who came to Australia in 1803 as a well-connected young officer of the marines, participant in the British attempt to colonise Boon Wurrung Country, at Sorrento, Port Phillip. Unsuccessful, the contingent of marines and convicts, under the command of David Collins, was directed to the banks of the Derwent River in Van Diemen’s Land, where they founded Hobart Town on Nipaluna at the base of Kunanyi / Mt Wellington in 1804. There Lord had built the first private house, rose to be second-in-command and briefly served as acting Lieutenant-Governor upon Collin’s death in 1810.2 Lord developed close and advantageous friendships with subsequent Lieutenant-Governors, Davey and Sorrell, although Governor Macquarie in Sydney described him as a ‘dangerous and troublesome man… vindictive and implacable.’3
 
In 1808, Lord married his convict partner, Maria Risely (c. 1780-1859), who proved herself an intelligent and energetic businesswoman, establishing a store and supplying government requirements. Through their government connections, pastoral handouts and mercantile investments, the couple controlled an extraordinary third of the colony’s wealth by 1820.4 Significantly, the Lords’ house and warehouse, Ingle Hall (built 1811 – 14) is Hobart’s earliest surviving residence, and second oldest building.5 During the 1810s and 1820s, Lord travelled to London multiple times, transporting goods in either direction, with fluctuating fortune, before he settled in Kent, England. He returned only twice in subsequent years, in 1838 – 39 and again, for the seventh and final time, in 1846 – 47.
 
Despite having access to leading portraitists in England, it was in Hobart that Lord decided to have his portrait painted. Wainewright’s well-known portrait in the Allport Library, Hobart, of his patrician features relaxing in a high-backed wooden chair, was painted during his last visit, shortly before the artist suffered a debilitating stroke in late 1846. This portrait of Lord, sitting upright with outlined hand resting calmly on his upper chest, may have been drawn during his previous visit, as until now it has remained with descendants of Maria’s first daughter (Lord’s step-daughter) Caroline, who died in 1840.6 This date accords with the recent suggestion by Wainewright specialist, Jane Stewart, that an oil painting depicting Lord in a black cravat may be by Wainewright, painted during his 1838 – 39 visit. If correct, this is the first oil painting by Wainewright made in Tasmania to be identified.7
 
While showing the fading of pigments typically seen in his watercolours, the present portrait offers a superb example of Wainewright’s sensitive and skilful execution, depicting an individual notable – even notorious – in Tasmania’s first decades of occupation.

CATALOGUE TEXT
Painter and printmaker, Henry Burn is one of the key figures in early Melbourne art history. While documentary records of his life are sparse, he is known to have made more than half a dozen lithographs; was a regular participant in local art exhibitions (at the Victorian Society of Fine Arts and later, the Victorian Academy of Arts); and enjoyed the patronage of the flamboyant doctor and politician, Dr Louis Smith.1 Having published numerous views of English country towns in the 1840s before his emigration to Victoria, Burn turned this experience to his account in paintings and prints of post-gold rush Melbourne and its environs. His landscapes are of immense historical significance as ‘a faithful record of the place’2 from the 1850s to the 1870s. They also have a particular idiosyncratic charm, with their urban-topographical realism enveloped within a pastoral-recreational dream. As the art historian Patricia Reynolds has observed, ‘many of Burn’s luminous landscapes have a light and airy quality which seems out of his generation.’3

Not surprisingly, the La Trobe Library at the State Library of Victoria holds the most extensive public collection of Burn’s paintings, drawings and prints – among which is an 1868 watercolour, South Yarra Hill, which features an almost identical view, taken from the north bank of the Yarra at a point opposite the Botanic Gardens, looking eastwards upriver.

Illustrated: "Bauhaus on the Swan, Elise Blumann, an émigré artist in Western Australia", 1938-1948, Fig 88, page 106.

With her husband and two sons, Elise Blumann arrived in Perth in 1938, settling within walking distance of the Swan River. Surrounded by this new landscape, she began painting the distinctive Melaleucas and the river in a style that was unfamiliar and, at times, unsettling to Australian audiences of the period. Her approach, shaped by European modernism, stood in stark contrast to the traditional techniques then dominating the local art scene. 
When her work was first exhibited at the Newspaper House Art Gallery in 1944, alongside the sculptures of Dr. Marion Radcliffe Taylor, it generated a degree of confusion and curiosity. In his review for The West Australian , titled An Unusual Exhibition, critic George Pitt Morison wrote: 

"Her landscapes are rather hard to understand. One is so used to the old traditions that any departure is viewed with disfavour; on closer study, however, one is conscious of Elise Burleigh’s motive. She has eliminated all unnecessary detail and accentuated the theme she wished to express." 

Blumann’s paintings embraced a flattened, two-dimensional quality. Her compositions centred firmly on the subject, which became the focal point of the work. In “Red Cliffs”, a subtle panoramic effect is created through sparse, undulating hills and a softly muted sky that balances the composition without distracting from the dramatic cliff face at its core. Her brushstrokes are bold and decisive, with strong foreground colours that gradually lighten as the landscape recedes—revealing depth without sacrificing the strength of her mark-making. 

By 1947, Australian audiences remained largely unacquainted with the modernist movements sweeping across Europe. Blumann’s work was met with a degree of hesitation, even among seasoned critics. Yet, over time, her distinctive vision found recognition. Today, her work is held in numerous institutional and private collections across Australia, a testament to her role in shaping the trajectory of modern art in this country.

Estimate: $18,000/$25,000

Dorrit Black received her initial training at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts, later continuing her studies with Julian Ashton in Sydney. In 1927, she travelled to London, where she studied under Claude Flight at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, before moving to Paris to work with André Lhote. While Lhote profoundly influenced her understanding of design, it was Flight who shaped her technical approach to printmaking. Drawing from both mentors, Black forged a bold and distinctive visual language that was ground breaking in Australia during the late 1920s. 

In a 1929 article for the Adelaide Observer, Black explained her commitment to the principles of modernism: “Modern art does not aim at realism; it is founded on design, harmony, and rhythm in forms. There is more abstraction than realism in it.” 

Upon returning to Australia, she founded the Modern Art Centre in Sydney in 1931—the first gallery in the country established and run by a woman. Though modest in scale, the Centre became a vital hub for modernist ideas, showcasing experimental work and offering classes that introduced Australian audiences to the radical aesthetics of European modernism. 

In 1939, Black returned to Adelaide, where she designed and built her own home and studio in the suburb of Magill. She remained an influential presence in the local art scene, teaching part time at the South Australian School of Art and serving as vice-chairman of the Contemporary Art Society. 

She continued to exhibit regularly until her sudden death in a car accident in 1951. 

Dorrit Black’s work is held in major public collections, including all state galleries, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Victoria & Albert Museum London. In 1975, her contribution to Australian art was recognised with a major retrospective at the Art Gallery of South Australia.

The highly regarded art critic for The West Australian newspaper, Charles Hamilton, wrote of Pitt Morison in 1939: “It is a pity this artist cannot devote more time to his studies, for one is always tantalized by the thought of what he could really do if he had the opportunity.” 

Born in Melbourne in 1861, Pitt Morison studied part-time at the National Gallery School and worked in various occupations until, in 1890, when he seized the opportunity to study in Paris at the Académie Julian, despite the objections of family and friends. While in France, he travelled around the countryside painting with fellow Australian artist Emanuel Phillips Fox, who was known for his paintings of dappled light. After his studies in Paris, Morison travelled to Spain, where he further refined his skills by copying the masterpieces at the Prado Museum. 

In 1894, Morison arrived in Western Australia and worked in a photography studio in Bunbury before securing a position with the Land and Surveys Department. In 1906, he took on a role in the art department of the WA Museum and Art Gallery, where he remained in different roles until his retirement in 1942 at the age of 81. 

Morison was a founding member of the WA Society of Artists and served as its president in 1906. He was also a member of The Perth Society of Artists and chaired the organization during the 1936-1937 term. 

One of Morison’s most well-known works is “The Foundation of Perth” , commissioned by the Centenary Committee, of which he was a member. The painting, which depicts Mrs. Dance felling the first tree, was meticulously researched by Morison to ensure the accuracy of the clothing and the number of observers present at the event. The completed work was presented to the Art Gallery in 1929. Additionally, Morison designed the postage stamp issued to commemorate Western Australia’s Centenary. 

Always impeccably dressed, Pitt Morison was a distinguished and influential figure in the Western Australia's arts scene. While he supported and applauded emerging art trends, his own work was more aligned with his classical training and a deep understanding of the old masters. 

Despite his extensive study in Australia and France, Morison ultimately chose a career in arts administration over that of a practicing artist. He was a pragmatic individual with a family, and considered his responsibilities over personal ambitions. He exhibited annually with the societies of which he was a member, and early in his career, he even held exhibitions in his own home. 

The painting “The Sunlit Bush” reflects Morison's classical training in composition, structure, and surface quality. The subject—a forest floor illuminated by sunlight—captures the contrast between the bright patches of sunlight and the more subdued shadows. The artist masterfully conveys the atmosphere of a cool, densely wooded scene, with the play of light acting as both a focal point and a guide for the eye. 

Morison’s work is held in collections at the National Gallery in Canberra and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Portraits of him were painted by his contemporaries Elise Blumann and John Brackenreg further cementing his legacy.

Estimate: $8,000/$12,000

Stacha Halpern - painter, potter, printmaker and sculptor - was born in Zolochev, Poland (now Ukraine) in 1919. In 1938, he enrolled at the School of Commercial and Fine Art in L'vov (Poland), but his studies were cut short by the German invasion of Poland. He emigrated to Perth via England, and in 1939 moved to Melbourne, where he worked as a fitter and turner. 

While employed at a Melbourne commercial pottery, Halpern befriended Arthur Boyd, who, along with John Perceval, had established the Arthur Merric Boyd Pottery at Murrumbeena. In 1946– - 47, Halpern set up a home studio with the goal of becoming a full-time potter. Despite financial difficulties, he found reasonable success selling his work through the Primrose Pottery Shop in Melbourne. He studied part-time at the George Bell School in 1948 - 49 and attended Melbourne Technical College for one term. 

Halpern became a naturalised Australian in 1947. In 1951, he returned to England and Europe, where he spent the next fifteen years leading a semi-nomadic life and focusing primarily on painting. He made a notable impact on the European art scene, exhibiting frequently in solo and group exhibitions across Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Basel, and Milan. His paintings from the mid- to late 1950s were bold, expressionistic landscapes and streetscapes - vigorously executed with thick paint and gestural, calligraphic lines. 

In 1966, Halpern returned to Melbourne. His focus increasingly turned to the human figure, rendered in dark, brooding, often fragmented forms. At a time when the Australian art world was increasingly captivated by American ‘colour field’ abstraction, Halpern’s intense European expressionism set him apart. Undeterred, he remained prolific until his sudden death from heart disease in early 1969, just shy of 50 years old. 

He was one of the few Australian painters to gain significant recognition overseas, with a strong exhibition presence throughout Europe. Yet, for reasons not entirely clear, he has never been fully appreciated in his adopted homeland. Perhaps his paintings were not vibrant enough to capture the wider public imagination or he was affected by the conflict between the Antipodeans and Abstractionists. His work has long been understood and valued by institutional curators and is included in the collection of most Australian Galleries and the National Collection in Canberra.

Estimate: $10,000/$15,000

Though largely self-taught, Harold Septimus Power achieved admirable results in local art competitions during his youth. He won silver medals at the Collingwood Junior Exhibition in 1896 and 1899, and a gold medal at the Melbourne Art Club in 1899. 

His first formal art education took place in Paris from 1905 to 1907, where he studied at the Académie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens. Prior to this, he had received encouragement from the notable artist Walter Withers, as well as reluctant support from his father, Peter Power - a painting teacher in Brunswick - who was hesitant for his son to follow in his artistic footsteps. 

Power was a versatile artist, skilled in portraiture, still life, and landscapes, but his true passion was for animals - horses in particular. Whether painting dogs, cats, camels, or birds, no creature from the animal kingdom proved too challenging for him. He was widely regarded as Australia’s premier painter of animals, possessing an innate ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the spirit and individual character of his subjects - whether they were feeding, working, playing, or simply at rest. 

He lived and worked in London for many years, earning numerous commissions for equestrian portraits and regularly exhibiting at the Royal Academy. Although a hearing impairment disqualified him from active service during World War I, he was appointed as an official Australian war artist and often worked under enemy fire. It was said that his hearing loss allowed him to concentrate amid the chaos of battle. The Australian War Memorial holds more than 60 of his works, most of them painted in France, with others completed after his return to Australia. 

His work is included in all Australian state gallery collections, the National collection in Canberra and the Imperial War Museum in London.

Estimate: $3,000/$5,000

Provenance: The Estate of Iris Francis.

Iris Francis was born in Fremantle, Western Australia, in 1913, into a family deeply interested in the arts. Her grandfather and father were both talented in sketching and carving, and her aunt, Pansy Francis, was a renowned woodcarver. Growing up in such a creative environment, from a young age Iris was naturally drawn to the arts. 

She pursued formal training at Perth Technical College, studying under JWR Linton and AB Webb, where she earned a diploma in commercial art. After completing her studies, Iris began working as a commercial artist at Gibbney & Sons before being offered a permanent teaching position at Perth Technical College in 1935. She would go on to teach there for twelve years. 

In addition to her artistic talents, Iris was an accomplished cellist. She performed at numerous fundraising recitals during the war, using her music to support important causes. Her versatility extended beyond the visual and performing arts, as she was also a skilled golfer, having won the Vice-President’s Cup at the Royal Fremantle Golf Club in 1937 with a net score of 70, reducing her handicap by five strokes. 

Her involvement in the arts extended beyond her teaching and personal practice. Iris was an active member of both the Perth Society of Artists and the Women Painters and Applied Arts Society, contributing to the growth of the arts community in Western Australia. 

This enamel work“The Cellist”, reflects her deep interest in modernism, which flourished during WWII. The work is not only a tribute to her accomplishments as a cellist but also an embodiment of the modernist movement she embraced. Created likely in the 1950s, “The Cellist” was made possible by the availability of additional materials during the post-war period. 

A larger oil painting of the same title and design is included in the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia ensuring her legacy and contribution to the arts is preserved.

NO ULTIMATE REALITY

Estimate: $9,000/$12,000

Ernest Philpot was a trailblazer in the Western Australian art scene, recognized as the first exponent of non-objective abstract painting in the state. While he wasn’t known for being a social butterfly or a fixture at parties, he found deep fulfillment in the solitude of his studio, immersed in his work and often limiting his palette to a restrained selection of colours. 

Born in England in 1906, Philpot emigrated to Western Australia with his family in 1913. At a time when artists in the region found it difficult to sustain a livelihood through art alone, Philpot defied convention, embracing abstraction long before it gained widespread acceptance. 

In search of a broader audience and critical recognition, Philpot held a solo retrospective exhibition in London during the winter of 1960–1961. Hosted at The Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, the show presented a body of work spanning three decades—from traditional early pieces to his evolution into abstraction. Though the exhibition was a significant milestone, his efforts to establish a presence in the London art world were hampered by his lack of familiarity with the British art market and its expectations. His aspirations for international acclaim went largely unfulfilled, leaving him disheartened. 

Philpot led a rich and varied life beyond the canvas. He studied at the National Gallery School in Victoria, served as a field surveyor with the Australian Army during World War II, and played the euphonium in a Salvation Army brass band. His talents were acknowledged with awards including the Claude Hotchin Painting Prize in 1948 and the Art Gallery of Western Australia Prize for Oil Painting in 1952. 

Throughout his career, Philpot remained a committed member of the local art community, regularly exhibiting with the Perth Society of Artists. He also managed a signwriting business he inherited from his uncle in 1937. In 1957, he sold the business and took up a position as an art master at Wesley College, where he taught until his retirement in 1968. During this time, he also served as an art critic for the Perth Sunday Times from 1961 to 1965. 

This work,“No Ultimate Reality”, is one of the largest pieces he worked on and exemplifies his commitment to pure abstraction. The painting analyses the fundamental elements of visual language—shape, colour, and texture—in a way that challenged conventional art norms of the time. While such work is now distinguished, it was initially met with uncertainty in conservative 1960s Perth. Still, Philpot remained steadfast in his artistic convictions, undeterred by public opinion. 

A key factor that enabled Philpot to remain true to his artistic vision was his financial independence. Free from the pressure to produce commercially viable work, he was able to explore uncharted creative territory on his own terms. 

Today, Ernest Sidney Philpot’s contributions to Australian modernism are widely recognized. His works are held in prominent collections including the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the University of Western Australia, the National Gallery of Australia, and numerous regional and private collections across the country. His legacy endures as a testament to artistic courage, innovation, and integrity.

Exhibited: "The Linton Legacy" Art Gallery of Western Australia, Centenary Gallery, February to November 2003.

Linton is a key figure in the development of art in Western Australia, particularly during the turn of the 20th century. This work “Farmyard Pickering Brook” stands as one of his most complete and significant watercolours, showing the core of his artistic abilities. 

To students of Western Australian art history, James W.R. Linton needs no introduction. He succeeded F.M. Williams as the head of the Perth Technical College School of Arts, and through his production of silver, furniture, and carving, was instrumental in shaping the Arts and Crafts movement in Perth at the turn of the 20thcentury. Linton's impact was unparalleled, and his enthusiasm for art was unmatched. 

In an article published in the West Australian in December 1927, a correspondent writing under the name "Hermes" described Linton with admiration: "One’s first impression of Mr. James Linton is that he is wholly an artist. He loves art disinterestedly and for its own sake. He can talk about art all day long. All his spare moments are spent in his studio. And his appearance—the pointed beard, deep-set eyes, and flowing black bow tie—embodies the typical artist’s look. Partly because he is so full of art and has had such extensive experience, his conversation is always fascinating." 

Born into a large family as one of eleven children, Linton’s famous father, Sir James Dromgole Linton, the President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, made investments in gold mines in Western Australia. In 1897, young James was sent to Western Australia to oversee the family’s investments. 

He arrived in Albany and went directly to Kalgoorlie where he lived rough in basic accommodation. He became ill and after recovering from a fever for which he was hospitalised, he left Kalgoorlie and arrived in Perth in 1899. Eager to build a career outside the shadow of his prominent father, Linton had previously attempted to make a living as a tea merchant, actor and book illustrator- all efforts were unsuccessful. In Australia, he was able to develop the independence he sought. 

Linton purchased his Parkerville property in 1921, and the hills area soon became the primary source of subject for his artistic production. “Farmyard Pickering Brook” demonstrates his ability to capture the unique light of the region. Through this work, Linton skilfully balances the composition with the use of shadows, posts, clouds, and tree lines, guiding the viewer's eye across the entire scene. It is a masterful composition, rich in detail, yet devoid of any sense of arrogance. 

Linton's work is included in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, and numerous private collections. Retrospective exhibitions of his work were held at the Art Gallery of Western Australia in 1955 and 1977.

In June 1935, Robert Johnson held a solo exhibition at the West Australian Newspaper House Gallery in Perth. Forty-eight works were displayed, and the organiser, John Brackenreg, conducted a plebiscite—a people’s choice vote—throughout the duration of the show. Brackenreg declared, “The exhibition has been an unqualified success. Exceptional interest has been shown throughout the three weeks the pictures have been shown in Perth.” 

The exhibition was further enhanced by regular newspaper reports detailing the rankings of individual works as votes were tallied. Over 5,000 votes were cast, with the most popular piece being “Pearl of Pittwater”, which is now part of the collection at the Art Gallery of Western Australia—a gift from Mrs. E. H. Barker in 1953. 

“The Meadows, Oberon” was also included in the exhibition, ranking fifteenth among the works on display. 

The well-known watercolourist and art critic Harold Herbert described Johnson as an honest plein air painter, adhering to the principles laid down by Streeton, Roberts, Ashton, and others, working in the true spirit of Impressionism. 

Robert Johnson was born in Auckland in 1890 and arrived in Australia in 1921. He studied at the Elam School of Art in Auckland under Edward Fristrom and Archibald Nicoll. Soon after his arrival in Australia, he found immediate success with local art patrons and was quickly regarded as a promising contemporary artist, ranking highly among Australia's landscape painters. 

Years earlier, while serving as a New Zealand artilleryman aboard a troopship in Fremantle en route to the Great War, Johnson resolved to return to Western Australia to paint the landscape. Though he exhibited regularly in Perth, it wasn’t until 1937 that he was able to fulfil that pledge. He returned to the state, disembarking at Albany, and travelled by caravan with John Brackenreg and Arthur Wakefield Bassett through the South West coastal districts, painting and enjoying each other’s company. As an artist, he was particularly struck by the intensity of the Western Australian light. 

Johnson won several prizes, including the Queen’s Coronation Medal in 1953. His work is represented in the collections of all Australian State Galleries. In 1936, he was commissioned by the Australian Federal Government to paint a view of Canberra as a gift to the New Zealand government.

Estimate: $5,000/$8,000

Frank Norton was not an artist known for pushing boundaries, but rather for his dedication to faithfully capturing the world around him. He was not driven by a desire to break new ground in the art world, but by a commitment to providing an artist's perspective on everyday events. 

Norton's reputation, achievements, and military service have been well-documented. He was appointed an official war artist during both World War II and the Korean War. Following these wartime assignments, he taught at the East Sydney Technical College. Before being appointed as the Director of the Art Gallery of Western Australia from 1958 to 1976, a position that allowed him to significantly influence that institution's direction. 

With the support of his dedicated staff, Norton expanded the gallery's collection of Aboriginal artefacts and Australian Impressionist works. He also designed and oversaw the construction of the current Art Gallery of WA, while managing to navigate challenging press coverage when some of the gallery’s acquisitions were deemed controversial. 

Amidst these professional responsibilities, Norton remained focused on his personal artistic practice, and travelled extensively within the state in his professional capacity. He meticulously documented his surroundings, making detailed notes and sketches of the world he encountered. These observations were not merely for personal expression but intended as a record for future generations. 

One lesser-known aspect of his wartime service is his close call during the Battle of Tobruk, where he was nearly killed by shellfire. As the explosion threw him in one direction and his easel and paints in another, Norton’s determination to document the realities of war persisted. Unlike many artists of the time, he chose not to focus on the sensational, heroic moments that were widely reported, but on the daily routines and seemingly mundane tasks that, in his view, were essential to the success of the military effort. These uncelebrated moments were, for him, just as significant as the acts of bravery that earned medals. 

This 1972 oil painting depicts the Winterbottom Motors building at the corner of St Georges Terrace and Mill Street in Perth on a rainy day. It exemplifies the artist’s keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the ordinary events of daily life. Over time, such scenes have become valuable records of a city that continues to undergo significant change. The artist goes beyond simply recording the vehicles, buildings and fashion of the time; in the background, he also includes dredging activity in the Swan River. 

Through his steadfast commitment to observation and documentation, Frank Norton offered a quiet yet powerful alternative to the more dramatic narratives of his time. His work stands as a testament to the enduring value of the ordinary — the streets we walk, the work we do, the moments we often overlook. In capturing these fragments of daily life with precision and care, Norton created not just art, but a visual history that continues to resonate. His legacy lies not in revolutionizing artistic technique, but in elevating the everyday to a place of significance, ensuring that the seemingly mundane is remembered with the dignity it deserves.

Cranford Jview full entry
Reference: see Wincanton Auctions, UK, 15.5.25, lot lot 713
A rare and historically significant pen and ink sketch by Lieutenant J. Cranford, dated 1848, depicting Sydney Cove Fort in Australia. This finely detailed drawing captures an early view of Sydney Harbour, featuring sailing vessels, the stone fortifications at the cove, and surrounding colonial structures set against the natural landscape. Light washes of colour delicately enhance the scene, lending it subtle depth and atmosphere. Figures are carefully included in the foreground, offering a lively narrative element. The work is signed and inscribed along the lower edge, demonstrating Cranford’s precision as a military draughtsman. Presented behind glass in a simple frame, the piece shows some gentle age-related foxing, consistent with its age, which adds to its authentic character. An important piece of early Australiana, offering a rare glimpse into mid-19th century Sydney.

G. RIKARD SCHJELDERUD
BY BASIL BURDETT
RIKARD SCHJELDERUP, who came to Australia from Europe about twelve months ago, although a Norwegian, was born in Dresden, whither his father's interests as an operatic composer had taken the family. His father's operas were produced in Germany as well as in his native Norway, and contact with the theatre naturally directed the young Schjelderup's awakening artistic instincts towards it so that it is not surprising to learn that his first studies were in theatrical décor. This was at Oslo but, the family returning to Germany, he entered an art school in Munich, wherein the principles of the French school, particularly those deriving from Matisse, obtained. The influences which surrounded these early studies were afterwards confirmed by the Norwegian master, Edvard Munch, whose influence, although never in personal contact with him, he came afterwards to feel very strongly through his work. Munch, belonging to an older generation, and who is essentially post-impressionistic in spirit and his work in which he adapted the new modes to the requirements of expression in his own country, preserves that sense of Northern colour which is the product of a particular and characteristic Scandinavian light, and which Schjelderup considers a major feature of his own work.
After four years in Munich, Schjelderup returned Norway, having, in the meantime, furnished the scenery for the production of one of the paternal operas. In Norway he painted portraits and continued his studies from Nature. He also studied etching and drypoint and his portraits in these media secured him connection with England, in which country and France he afterwards travelled. In England he married the Irish actress, Natalie Moya, and accompanied her to Australia on the present tour. In this country he quickly got down to work, and both Sydney and Melbourne saw the products of his brush in exhibitions held about the middle of last year. Their vigour of attack and their colour attracted some critics and repelled others, who felt them to be immature and not strongly drawn. They were a fresh note, how-ever, and proved a stimulus to many of the younger generation of artists here. Since that exhibition Schjelderup has travelled in the Pacific, chiefly in the Fijian and Loyalty Islands, and this work formed the basis of his recent, second exhibition in Sydney, several of the pictures being reproduced in this number. In common with Aletta Lewis, as a visitor to this country, perhaps because Australia has not realised possible anticipations in respect to savage life and exotic scenery, he has been drawn to the islands of the South Seas, indicating fields which our own artists have so far ignored, with the sole exception of Harold Herbert, who has painted in New Caledonia.

With manuscript poem of nine lines to reverse; initialled and dated "J.P. March 21st 1831".


Mary Ann Piper (c.1790-1871) was the wife of the prominent military officer and settler, John Piper (1773 - 1851). Piper was commissioned as an Ensign in the newly formed New South Wales Corps, and arrived the Pitt in 1792. In 1793 he requested a transfer to Norfolk Island, but returned to Sydney in 1795 after distinguished service. A close associate of John Macarthur, Piper stood as a second for him in a duel with their commanding officer, William Paterson; Piper was arrested and tried by court-martial in 1802 but was acquitted. In 1804 he returned to Norfolk Island, where he is thought to have commenced his liaison with Mary Ann Shears. The daughter of James Shears and Mary Wilson, two First Fleet convicts transferred to Norfolk Island, she was approximately 15 years old when Piper declared his love. Colonial records indicate she had borne two sons when the couple left for England in 1811 and a further two children by the time of their return to Australia in February 1814. They married two years later on 10 February 1816.


Ann Piper - as she was usually known - went on to become an important and cultured figure in the colony. The present sketch shows that she was versed in the skills of drawing.

Portia Geach heralded the age of the modern Australian woman. Sophisticated, creative and a formidable advocate for women, she was equally championed for her campaigns and pummeled for interfering in the business of men.

At the age of 17 she began her studies at the National Gallery School in Melbourne, with Bernard Hall as her sponsor she became the first Australian woman admitted to the Royal Academy, entering the painting class in 1897. She embraced the vibrancy of London’s art scene and took night classes in stained glass for two years at the Central School of Arts and Crafts exhibiting a piece of painted glass at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900. She furthered her studies at Whistler’s Académie Carmen and the Académie Julian in Paris before returning to Australia in 1900.

Back in Melbourne, she established an Academy of Art in Collins Street, supported the suffrage campaign and eventually became a leader in the women’s movement. In addition to exhibiting with the Victorian Artists Society, solo exhibitions at Anthony Hordern’s in Sydney and the Athenaeum in Melbourne, extended periods in studios in New York, she fought for equal pay, access for women to political power and better standards of healthcare. She represented Australia at international women’s assemblies, famously led the potato boycott in 1929 in opposition to the ever-increasing prices and travelled extensively, encouraging women to follow in her footsteps.

This publication on the life and career of Portia Geach is a reengagement with her contribution to artistic practice, social equality and feminist politics in Australia during the early twentieth century. It establishes her contribution as a forerunner to the women's movement and affirm the contemporaneity of her views in both her practice and life choices.

This long overdue biography is by art historian Dr Julie Cotter who has written the books Portraits Destroyed and Tom Roberts and the Art of Portraiture.

Portia Geach heralded the age of the modern Australian woman. Sophisticated, creative and a formidable advocate for women, she was equally championed for her campaigns and pummeled for interfering in the business of men.

At the age of 17 she began her studies at the National Gallery School in Melbourne, with Bernard Hall as her sponsor she became the first Australian woman admitted to the Royal Academy, entering the painting class in 1897. She embraced the vibrancy of London’s art scene and took night classes in stained glass for two years at the Central School of Arts and Crafts exhibiting a piece of painted glass at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900. She furthered her studies at Whistler’s Académie Carmen and the Académie Julian in Paris before returning to Australia in 1900.

Back in Melbourne, she established an Academy of Art in Collins Street, supported the suffrage campaign and eventually became a leader in the women’s movement. In addition to exhibiting with the Victorian Artists Society, solo exhibitions at Anthony Hordern’s in Sydney and the Athenaeum in Melbourne, extended periods in studios in New York, she fought for equal pay, access for women to political power and better standards of healthcare. She represented Australia at international women’s assemblies, famously led the potato boycott in 1929 in opposition to the ever-increasing prices and travelled extensively, encouraging women to follow in her footsteps.

This publication on the life and career of Portia Geach is a reengagement with her contribution to artistic practice, social equality and feminist politics in Australia during the early twentieth century. It establishes her contribution as a forerunner to the women's movement and affirm the contemporaneity of her views in both her practice and life choices.

This long overdue biography is by art historian Dr Julie Cotter who has written the books Portraits Destroyed and Tom Roberts and the Art of Portraiture.
