Painters: Our year started with a very pleasant and interesting stroll along the Yarra Flats, in the Eaglemont area of the Heidelberg Artists trail. Gary Edwards, who grew up in the area, planned our route and provided detailed notes of the Artists and their work at many locations. The artists, including Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Frederick McCubbin who started the Australian Impressionist movement in the late 19th and early 20th Century in this locality. Gary’s input was greatly appreciated. William Winford, our “resident Art Instructor”, spoke on the development of Australian Impressionism by these Artists and others such as E Phillips Fox and Charles Conder which developed at Eaglemont and other localities around Melbourne and Victoria. William’s extensive knowledge and experience gave William talking to the group on the Artist’s trail all of us a good understanding of the work of these Artists. Keith Weymouth Topping off the stroll, was Kay Edwards and her delightful afternoon tea and cake for the group among the memories of our impressionistic artists. Bowls 13 members of our Club met with the MCC Bowls section in the second of our season matches on 21st February and upheld the reputation of our Club in these matches, which also included a team from Melbourne Probus Club. Glenferrie Probus fielded 3 rinks, two of whom played against MCC, with a win by two shots for Miller Goodwin’s team and a draw for a team led by Stuart Balding. Peter McCausland led a team to defeat a team fielded by Melbourne Probus by 4 shots, our best rink, which included, Peter McCausland, David Tennent, David Harrison and Bill Grano. Peter McCausland, David Harrison and Bill Grano The Probus Club of Glenferrie Inc. Incorporated Registered No. A0032068N Mike’s Mash Well, two more sleeps before the Probus trip to Norfolk Island. Canberra and Port Stephens will be hard to top but the special place in our colonial history is an added swing factor. My in-laws Norm and Joan are coming too, so I will be on my best behaviour. Our new president David Tennent is the joint organiser with club stalwart, Keith Weymouth at his side. Like Bligh they will run a tight ship...I hope we have no Fletchers in the group. Last Tuesday we heard from Gemma Sisia, founder of the School of St Jude in Tanzania. Jock was very impressed with the school on his visit last year. It depends entirely on donations mainly from Australians like you and me. See you in paradise or at the March meeting..

    THE ART OF BECOMING: MIMICRY, AMBIVALENCE, AND ORIENTALISM IN THE WORK OF HENRY OSSAWA TANNER AND HILDA RIX By LAURA M. WINN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Laura M. Winn To my first teachers, my Mom and Dad, for giving me the lifelong gift and love for learning ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many people that helped in facilitating and supporting the long and challenging journey of researching and writing this dissertation. I am grateful to all of them. None of this would have been possible without the guidance of my committee members Ashley Jones, Brigitte Weltman-Aron, Elisabeth Fraser, and Nika Elder. Thank you for being so generous with your time, expertise, and thoughtful suggestions. I am especially indebted to my advisor and the chair of the committee, Melissa Hyde, for her willingness to adopt a Classicist interested in gender studies and introduce me to the importance–and fun–of dix-huitième scholarship. Melissa worked through multiple iterations and drafts of this project to clarify and refine my arguments, helping to bring a greater coherence and new voice to the exceptional lives and artistic contributions of Henry Ossawa Tanner and Hilda Rix Nicholas. Through every phase of my graduate education at Florida she has been a vital resource and mentor. I feel incredibility fortunate to have been her student. Crystalizing ideas into a finished dissertation often felt like an insurmountable challenge. I greatly benefited from the support, feedback, and experience of my “girl gang” at Florida.

  • An Australian Woman's Impression and Its Influences
    NOTE: Green underlined artist names indicate that a detail biography is provided in Dictionary of Australian Artists. Page 1 Copyright © 2019 David James Angeloro “ An Australian Woman’s Impression and Its Influences ” David James Angeloro “( A More Complete Picture )” by David James Angeloro was born and raised in Syracuse, New York and graduated from Columbia University ( New York City ) and (Excerpt of Draft January 2019) Hobart University ( Geneva ). In 1971, he immigrated to Australia where he has worked as a management- technology consultant for commonwealth-state-local government organisations and large corporations throughout Australasia. David’s interest (obsession) with fine arts started while attending university in New York City. In Australia, he earned a Masters of Art from Sydney University for his thesis Sydney’s Women Sculptors: Women’s Work in Three Dimensions [ 1788-1940 ]. His passion for art extends to art history with particular interests in women artists (his two daughters are well-known artists of mashed-up video works), sculptors and painter-etchers. The Angeloro family collections have been nearly fifty years in the making. David’s collecting philosophy focused on affordable second tier artists, who were generally well- known in their day, but have been ‘forgotten’ by art historians and curators. David has followed the world-wide trend of reassessing the position and value of pre-1940 painters, illustrators, printmakers and sculptors, especially marginalized women artists. Why I’m Selling The Collection ? I’m selling my collection because after nearly fifty years, I’m returning to New York and I don’t want these Australian treasures to be lost and unappreciated.
