  • REX BUTLER and ADS DONADLSON French, Floral
    Rex Butler and A.D.S. Donaldson, French, Floral and Female: A History of UnAustralian Art 1900-1930 (part 1) REX BUTLER AND A.D.S. DONADLSON French, Floral and Female: A History of UnAustralian Art 1900-1930 (part 1) ABSTRACT In this essay, which is another instalment in the authors' ongoing project of writing a history of UnAustralian art of the 20th century, the period 1900 to 1930 is characterised in terms of the three adjectives ―French‖, ―floral‖ and ―feminine‖. ―French‖ because so much of Australian art history took place in France, or in relation to France, during the period. ―Floral‖ because so much of this history can be understood in terms of flower painting, often included in still lifes and interiors, as opposed to the prevailing ‖gum tree‖ nationalism enshrined after the First World War. ―Female‖ because, extending the existing accounts by women art historians, the entire period can be understood as feminine in character. This UnAustralian account breaks with the importance attributed both to Norah Simpson bringing back books on Cubism in 1913 and to Grace Cossington-Smith's The Sock Knitter (1915) as the first signs of modernism in Australia, and to the War as an event that dramatically changed the course of Australian art history, either by sending Australian artists for the first time overseas or by explaining the prominence of women in Australian art after the War. To think of Australian art 1900-1930 as 'French, floral and female' is to imagine a different account from the usual nationalist one; to re-conceive a history that has remained fundamentally unaltered since William Moore's The Story of Australian Art (1934).

They had not been in any physical danger but Owen was liable to conscrip­ tion, and a disrupted tourist industry deprived him of market and income. They were. in a sense, economic refugees. Furthermore, the "provincial" who had traveled from his colonial periphery to the center (fust London, then Paris) before retreating to the isolation of the French provinces, was once again moving 10 a metropolitan center. After two years during which he had not shown at any major venue. be could reasonably hope to revive his career as an exhibiting artist. They arrived in New York during the "Little Renaissance," a remarkable period of renovation in the arts and in social and political thinking.' In the visual arts. 1908 had been a key year. It saw both the controversial "Eight" show of paintings, " the first salvo of rebellion in American painting" in the twentieth century,1 which was a direct response to illiberal decisions by the National Academy of Design (Wertheim 134), and the fi rst exhibitions of modern art at Stieglitz's Gallery 291 (drawings by French sculptor Augu ~ te Rodin in January and prints, drawings and oils by Henri Matisse in Apri l) (Davidson 13).

I have said that the world of art constitutes an “educational journey” to friends and clients hundreds of times over the years, no doubt to audible sighs and rolling eyes. But art really is a journey and an education. For collectors, it is a journey into past or alternate realities and into the lives of the artists they collect. Artists ask us to visit the world through their eyes and their experience, and accepting that invitation can reshape and expand the way we see and experience life.
