Established in 1944 by artists Arthur Boyd and John Perceval together with philosopher and artist Peter Herbst, the pottery was located at 500 (now 502) Neerim Road, Murrumbeena until it closed in the early 1960s. Commencing with the manufacture of functional domestic ware to meet post-war demands, the focus of the studio changed by the late 1940s with the production of more colourful, experimental and vibrant one-off earthenware pieces. Coffee and tea sets, bowls, carafes, plates, jugs, Decanter sets, vases and tiles applied to coffee tables, often decorated with angels, beasts, portraits, and Australian flora and flora motifs emerged out of this collaborative, exuberant and creative environment. Works by major Australian artists Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Neil Douglas, Yvonne Boyd and associated potters are on loan from the National Gallery of Victoria, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Shepparton Art Museum — SAM and many private collections. A selection of earthenware tiles and ceramic sculptures by Arthur Boyd, John Perceval’s expressive ceramic angel sculptures conceived at AMB Pottery, bowls and other related works are included in this exhibition.

Primarily a figurative painter, his works responded to the world around him and his own life experiences, and they often reflected critically on society. During his career he played an active role in art politics, particularly in the 1940s, writing influential articles about the direction of art in Australia. He also held prominent positions within the art community, including President of the Contemporary Art Society in the late 1940s and again in the 1960s. Tucker grew up during the Depression and began his career as a young artist in the late 1930s, in the years leading up to the outbreak of World War II. At this time, his world was defined by financial insecurity, social inequality and war, and these concerns became the catalyst for much of his painting.

  • JOHN PERCEVAL (1923 – 2000) the HULL, WILLIAMSTOWN, 1956 Oil on Composition Board 61.0 X 71.0 Cm Signed Lower Left: Perceval
    JOHN PERCEVAL (1923 – 2000) THE HULL, WILLIAMSTOWN, 1956 oil on composition board 61.0 x 71.0 cm signed lower left: Perceval John Perceval’s paintings of Williamstown from the 1950s are amongst the most sought after in Australian art and key examples now reside in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery, Newcastle Art Gallery and the Tarrawarra Museum of Art. Vibrant, swirling, blustery and above all superbly painted, the series depicts the working port as a source of fascinating contrasts. Although some harbour and dock drawings by the artist have been noted from as early as 1949, it was his purchase of a second-hand Volkswagen Beetle in the mid-1950s that transformed his ability to travel further distances from his family base in the eastern suburbs. With Charles Blackman, Arthur Boyd and Hal Hattam as occasional companions, Perceval explored Williamstown describing the experience as ‘like finding Venice.’1 This, of course, was the stuff of pure romance for the artist who had yet to travel overseas; nonetheless, it is an indication of his creative instinct that he could perceive such a poetic similarity amidst the working tugs, gulls, spilled fuel and battered hulks. In The Hull, 1956 an aging vessel is moored at the docks, its stern a patchwork of metal plates of differing heritage and condition. Two wharf workers tug at the lines, smoke pollutes the air and bilge water spills out from near the Plimsoll line. It is a painting that almost begs to have a smell, one of salt, oil, soot and toil.

  • HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE in the 1940S
    MEDIA RELEASE 28 May 2015 HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE IN THE 1940s Opening on 20 June 2015, Halcyon Days: Heide in the 1940s celebrates highlights of Heide Museum of Modern Art’s collection from the 1940s, a heady period of extraordinary creative achievement and cultural change in the history of Heide. Throughout the 1940s, John and Sunday Reed’s home, Heide, formed a focal point for some of Australia’s most avant- garde artists, who rejected conventional ways of living and learning and spearheaded the modernist movement in Melbourne. This constellation of rising talent included the young Sidney Nolan, cerebral painter Albert Tucker and his partner Joy Hester, the quiet yet passionate Arthur Boyd and free-spirited John Perceval. Each developed a distinctive practice and came to hold an undisputed place in the canon of Australian art. Such was John and Sunday’s belief in this group that they supported them financially and materially and in some instances formed close attachments to them. As poet Barrett Reid observed, the Reeds provided a ‘total concentration of life’ at Heide, which not only gave rise to unprecedented experimentation and attainment, but witnessed a drama of human relationships. 1 MEDIA RELEASE The 1940s saw the creation of many much-loved Heide icons and the selection displayed in Halcyon Days will include Ned Kelly and St Kilda images by Nolan, some of Hester’s compelling psychological portraits, and surrealist images by Tucker. In addition, a remarkable major portrait group by Boyd makes its debut, a recent donation to the Museum by the Estate of Beverly Brown.

  • Christie's Repatriate Early John Perceval Paintings
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Monday 4 April 2005 Contact: Julie King 0412 666 300 Robert Parsons 0412 566 300 CHRISTIE’S REPATRIATE EARLY JOHN PERCEVAL PAINTINGS FROM EUROPE FOR MELBOURNE AUCTION John Peter Russell’s ‘Portofino’ – For Sale for the First Time Ever Christie’s Director and Head of Australian & International Paintings, Jon Dwyer says the company’s April 19 auction catalogue showcases significant works by leading modern Australian painters. One of the highlights being, John Perceval’s ‘Nativity I’ painted in 1947. The auction is further enhanced by Brett Whiteley’s iconic landscape ‘The Meeting Place’ (1981), a number of important works by the foremost contemporary artists in Australia and the inclusion of a major work by impressionist John Peter Russell never previously offered for sale, consigned by the artist’s great grandson. “A hallmark of this sale is the number of works Christie’s have been able to secure for sale from international collectors of Australian art. We have consignments from clients in Europe, Asia and the United States. In most cases they are paintings which have seldom been available to the market, in some instances it is the first time they have been offered at auction. An undoubted highlight is ‘Nativity I’ which Perceval painted in 1947 but retained personally until 1986, when it was acquired by the current vendor. Other internationally consigned works are by Ray Crooke, Hans Heysen, Tim Maguire, Sidney Nolan, Charles Condor, George Peacock, John Glover, Sali Herman and Arthur Boyd. The inclusion of John Peter Russell’s ‘Portofino’ is simply a remarkable once-in-several-lifetimes opportunity to purchase a rare and important painting.” said Jon Dwyer.

He bought land and set up a farm near Launceston.

This painting shows a summer’s day at Glover’s new farm. A shingle- roofed stone house and wooden studio look out onto his extensive cottage garden full of flowering plants.

  • Sidney Nolan's Materials and Techniques
    Sidney Nolan’s Materials and Techniques: A case study of three Pebble monotypes Katie Wood*, Briony Pemberton and Sophie Lewincamp ABSTRACT As a prominent Australian artist, Sidney Nolan’s paintings are well researched and collected both internationally and within Australia. Less well known are his works on paper, in particular his monotypes, held in collections such as the National Gallery of Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria and Heide Museum of Modern Art. Three monotypes made by Nolan in the 1940s will be investigated to better understand the materials used and methods of application. Nolan is known for his use of unorthodox materials and these works were created during an era of intense experimentation. A technical art history methodology will be employed, involving primary and secondary source research and examination and analysis of the monotypes. This research has implications for both treatment and long-term preservation of Nolan paper collections. The research contained within this article was enabled by the long-term treatment collaboration between the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation and Heide Museum and greatly informed by minor thesis research of one of the authors. Keywords Sidney Nolan, monotypes, materials and techniques, techinical art history, microscpy, lakedyes, madder INTRODUCTION MONOTYPES Sidney Nolan (1917–1992) is arguably Australia’s most A monotype is a print, yet unlike any other printmaking famous artist.

  • Vic O'connor – a Social Realist in Changing Times
    Vic O’Connor – a Social Realist in Changing Times By Joe Pascoe Later in life Vic O’Connor described himself as an autobiographical artisti . Many of the most interesting artists have lived the lives of their subjects and so it was with Vic. Born in working class Preston, just two weeks after the end of WWI, Vic O’Connor lived a full 91 years. He experienced early promise as an artist and enjoyed an extensive exhibition practice throughout his lifeii. However, changing artistic fashions and a crossroads in his professional life as a lawyer, made the pathway difficult. Though, in rising to such challenges, Vic created an oeuvre impressive across its entire span. Vic O’Connor enjoyed painting and drawing and gathering people around himiii. A story teller in both words and paint, he produced many artworks of great sensitivity. Art was for him a way of connecting with his environment, thus he imbued his art with an emotive atmosphere that can be read as code for his emotional state and how he felt about his subjects. Mostly self-taught, his personalised use of the mediums he was using, cast the viewer as an engaged spectator. Even when the works were relatively private, in a sketchbook, they were always purposeful. His figurative approach bordered on the impressionistic, though nature was less of a muse to him than cityscapes. One could summarize Vic O’Connor’s approach to art making as combining a romantic use of materials and an intellectually considered idea of being an artist. Light would often be used metaphorically and the physicality of the art object itself would occupy a privileged space.
