Nature Imitating Art (MUSIC PLAYS) Nature Imitating Art (MUSIC PLAYS) VIRGINIA MOSK: Hello, everyone! We are here today to bring you a Coastcare, Summer by the Sea program. It’s a MESAC art trail podcast. WOMAN: Each year during the January school holidays, Coastcare Victoria in partnerships with Parks Victoria coordinates the delivery of hundreds of free Summer by the Sea activities along the coastline. Victoria's precious coastal and marine environments support a wide variety of species and habitats. Summer by the Sea activities give you a chance to find out more about these remarkable places. And to learn about some of the challenges facing our marine and coastal environments. There is something for everyone including people with a disability. Please enjoy it with us. VIRGINIA MOSK: Just introducing MESAC. It stands for Marine Science Education and Community. It's an independent not for profit organisation, committed to marine science, education and communication. We provide leadership in marine science and community collaboration that cultivates passion, accelerates understanding and care of our precious marine environments. By sharing knowledge through publications and resources, print, digital and video via our website, social media, various campaigns and awareness raising events and activities for local and broader communities. MESAC is based in Bayside, hosting a diversity of habitats and ecosystems. It includes rocky sandstone, intertidal and sub tidal reefs, sandy beaches, seagrass beds, an extraordinary geological heritage. Both sedimentary rocks and fossils, dating back some 6 million years. It's home to diverse native flora and fauna and provides roosting and feeding areas for migratory and threatened bird life. My name is Virginia Mosk, and I'm the secretary of MESAC. And today I have with me Toni Roberts, who is a local artist and designer. Hi, Toni. TONI ROBERTS: Hi, Virginia. VIRGINIA MOSK: And Betty Knight who has lived in this area all her life and is a local painter and sculptor. Hi, Betty. BETTY KNIGHT: Hi, Virginia. VIRGINIA MOSK: Now Coastcare Summer by the Sea recommends that you take these precautions if you're coming Nature Imitating Art and doing the art trail yourselves. So bring a hat for the sun or an umbrella for the rain. Water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent if you need it, sturdy shoes and your Bayside parking sticker if you have one, and now Toni would like to do the Acknowledgement of Country. TONI ROBERTS: Yes. We are so privileged to enjoy the rich marine and terrestrial environments that have been protected by many generations of Traditional Custodianship. We recognise the deep knowledge of natural systems and seasons have enabled them to nurture this environment for many generations. We respectfully acknowledge their Elders, past, present and emerging. We also recognise the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia and the world. We pledge to care for and protect the delicate and diverse life of our precious marine and coastal environments. VIRGINIA MOSK: So please come with us as we travel. From the beginning of the art trail, it goes from Elwood to Mentone. But today we're going to just discuss a few works from the art trail, Indigenous trail and a few other things along the way. So as you travel this trail you take in spectacular views of key places that many of us have enjoyed before. And even before Port Phillip Bay was formed. The Bayside Council website has an app that you can use and follow. However, today we're offering a relaxed chat about the trail and the artwork. (MUSIC PLAYS) BETTY KNIGHT: Hello, I'm Betty, we could start with the Rakali. It's just a beautiful little creature. It's ours. It’s local otter you could say, not really a rat, it's called a water rat. But the Rakali is its own self, it swims in the water, the beaches along here looking for food, crustaceans and little fish etc. And you can actually see it if you go to the Brighton pier and walk a little bit along there. You can look down and see them diving and surfacing. Leaping around looking for food. It's just a lovely sight. TONI ROBERTS: And you were saying Betty you'd love to make a sculpture of Rakali. BETTY KNIGHT: That’s for the future. I hope I can do that. (LAUGHTER) OFFICIAL Nature Imitating Art VIRGINIA MOSK: They’re beautifully adapted to the marine and water environment whether it's saltwater or freshwater. They have a beautiful thick coat that's waterproof, long tail, the white tip at the end of the tail which differentiates them and beautiful webbed feet for swimming. And they are a protected species. TONI ROBERTS: So all of the Aboriginal works along the trail are based on stories recorded by Boon wurrung Elder Carolyn Briggs, and this one is the Barraimal (Emu) and Constellation sculpture by Glenn Romanis. BETTY KNIGHT: It's a beautiful mosaic of different rocks, all beautifully inlaid, and it tells the story. It shows the picture of the emu, which is the male emu sitting on the eggs. The male actually rather than the female sits on the eggs and hatches the young. And this is all shown as well. In this story, the ancient story of the Aborigines is also told in the stars so the constellation depicts Barraimal the emu as a constellation and how it is seen using the constellations of the Southern Cross, the Pointer, scout Scorpio, Sagittarius, and using the dark shadows under the Milky Way to create its head, neck and back. Scorpio’s shapes the body and Sagittarius the nest eggs. So the Aborigines always had a connection with the stars to tell their stories on earth, felt that the earth and stars were fully connected. TONI ROBERTS: And what I love about this is it it's made from the material of the earth isn't it, made from stone and also the way he's differentiated the smooth, polished stone that represents the eggs and the stars compared to the rougher sort of earth-like stone of the rest of the sculpture. It's very effective. WOMAN: Beautiful. VIRGINIA MOSK: And the next one we came upon is the ‘Journey of the Eel’ by Dr Vicki Couzens. TONI ROBERTS: This is an etching on paper of yams and eels. Because we're all environmentalists not just art lovers. So of course we're fascinated by the journey of the eel. Eels make incredible journeys at different phases of their life. Here the eels, female eels were caught in long woven traps as they swam down the rivers and creeks. BETTY KNIGHT: There's also a story of the Aborigines farming the eels. And, you know, mapping little ponds to bring up the young ones and so on. But it was always a sign of prosperity, if there were lots of eels coming OFFICIAL Nature Imitating Art back down the rivers and so on to spawn. VIRGINIA MOSK: And they came in the arrival it indicated the arrival of (UNKNOWN), which is spring, and they began their returning from their very long journey. And I've been told also that it corresponds with the Aboriginal festivals that they had in Mordialloc Creek. And they would bring… Different tribes would come from all over the, well, this area, and then they would exchange young women for, that they would find their future partners. So this is how they got to marry and then they would go follow their husband’s tribe. TONI ROBERTS: During a time of feasting and plenty of eels. (LAUGHTER) BETTY KNIGHT: Eels were a very important part of their food source. VIRGINIA MOSK: And I love them. So we’re at stop 2 which is Green Point in Brighton, near the ANZAC War Memorial. When you come to the car park if you go to the left hand side, you'll see these beautiful paintings displayed. TONI ROBERTS: And the first one we're going to look at is ‘Brighton Beach’ by Henry Burn in 1862. VIRGINIA MOSK: Henry came from Birmingham in England in 1807. TONI ROBERTS: He studied at the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts. So this painting by Henry Burn of Brighton Beach in 1862 really captures this view just almost as it is today. Isn't it, Betty? It’s beautiful. (CROSSTALK). BETTY KNIGHT: Today, we're here and it's breezy but it's just such a beautiful view, people on the beach in the sand. And this is depicted in Henry Burn’s picture here beautifully. Here, I’m a bit afraid that the condition of the pictures deteriorated and lost some of the blues in the sky in the grass. But it's got all the details and we can see that things haven't changed that much in the last 100 years. Well, slightly. OFFICIAL Nature Imitating Art TONI ROBERTS: 150 almost. Yeah, the pier is gone but yeah, quite a similar view down the coast. VIRGINIA MOSK: Yeah. And the hotel is still there, which is in the picture. Yes. But interestingly, the colours are very yellow and brown, and looks quite windswept, like almost a summer. TONI ROBERTS: A really hot sort of blazing summer day. VIRGINIA MOSK: Yep. That's how it looks to me. BETTY KNIGHT: With the wind in the sail. It's blowing the sail. TONI ROBERTS: Yeah. And Henry Burn came to Australia in search of gold but captured a city on the rise through his topographical paintings of Melbourne. So his paintings and lithographs of early Melbourne and the neighbourhood now provide valuable evidence of the local scene at that time.

  • Percy Leason (1889-1959)
    PERCY LEASON (1889-1959) Percy Alexander Leason was an Australian artist who was a major figure in the Australian tonalist movement. Percy was born on 23 February 1889 in rural Victoria, from a large family of famers, he was expected to carry on the family tradition of wheat farming or saddlery making, however, in his early adolescent years he demonstrated an interest in drawing. After attending art school at Nhill, Percy was apprenticed to Sands & McDougall in Melbourne as a lithographic artist in 1906. He soon transferred to the art department where he did illustrations for jam tin labels and department store advertisements. His first major illustration was a poster for Carlton Brewery in Melbourne of Sam Griffin, an itinerant miner, standing at a bar with a full pint, the caption of the poster “I allus has wan at Eleven”, became a famous trademark for Foster beer. During these years he studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School under the tutelage of Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin, upon completing his apprenticeship he began a somewhat bohemian lifestyle. Leason commenced his illustration career in 1914, later serving on the staff of the Sydney Bulletin as political cartoonist, at this time his career as a commercial painter was expanding as well, with artworks of Gallipoli and the Sturt expedition being bought by the War Memorial Museum in Canberra, and the National Library of Australia in Canberra respectively. He joined the Sydney Society of Artists and the Painters and Etchers Society, in 1918 his paintings and etchings were purchased by The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, and at that time he was the highest paid commercial artist in Australia.

  • Max Meldrum and the Australian
    Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia ll: European Preludes and Parallels Misty moderns: Max Meldrum and the Australian Tonalists Tracey Lock-Weir 2 / 3 March 2011 Introduction: This lecture will focus on the distinctive school of Australian tonalism, which flourished during the twentieth-century interwar period. It will outline the beginnings of this painting movement from when it was first pioneered in 1915 by the controversial artist, teacher and art theorist, Max Meldrum (1875-1955). Despite being widely condemned, Max Meldrum had an impact on the development of a young generation of Australian artists. Several of these artists became leading figures of the modern art movement in Melbourne and Sydney. Some of Meldrum’s other followers became known as the Meldrumites. Working in opposition to established tastes, these artists produced some of the most abbreviated and abstractly well-designed landscapes in Australian art. During the 1950s Meldrum’s ideas also had an enduring influence on a second generation of young Australian artists. Aspects of these influences will be demonstrated and discussed. Slide List 1.

  • Drusilla Modjeska Novelist, Writer and More. Clarice Beckett: at the Edge
    Drusilla Modjeska Novelist, Writer andmore. Clarice Beckett: At theEdge Catalogue Essay: Clarice Beckett, Niagara Galleries, Melbourne, April 2014 Clarice Beckett liked to paint along the edge of the shore: sand and water, boat and jetty, cliff and bay. She painted early in the morning and again in the evening, at the edge of the day when shadows were long and the light diffuse. There were practical, domestic reasons for both these choices, rehearsed in every telling of Clarice Beckett, the artist who lived with her parents in the Melbourne beach suburb of Beaumaris. As the unmarried daughter, domestic care of her aging parents fell to her, limiting the work of her art to the time and the place of her circumstances. It wasn’t until she was 27 that her father allowed her, in 1914, to attend the Victorian National Gallery School, and even then she was to be chaperoned by her sister Hilda. The freedoms of travel and study in Europe that opened for other women painting in the years between the wars were not for Clarice Beckett. She never travelled beyond Victoria; she did not even have her own studio. Her father had ruled that ‘the kitchen table would do’. But for an artist as serious as Clarice Beckett it did not do, which is why, early each morning and again in the evening, before and after the duties of the day, she set out for the streets and beaches within walking distance of the house, pulling behind her a small cart for her paints, with a lid that served as an easel for her smaller paintings.

  • George Hyde Pownall: Painter of Cityscapes
    Michael E. Humphries George Hyde Pownall: painter of cityscapes IN SURVEYS OF ARTISTS who painted streetscapes and city life, one particular artist, George Hyde Pownall (1866-1939), has been generally overlooked. Pownall painted many street scenes during the first third of the twentieth century in London and Melbourne and is represented in the Cowen Gallery of the State Library of Victoria by two major works – Bourke Street and Collins Street (both c.1914). Little is known about his life and oeuvre apart from these works and the scant biographical notes on his life are inaccurate. He never seems to have exhibited in Australia and is not represented in standard art reference works such as McCulloch’s Encyclopaedia of Australian Art. It therefore seems fitting that an appraisal of Press photo of a dapper George his life and work be undertaken to broaden our Hyde Pownall, The Star (St Kilda), understanding of the portrayal of the Melbourne Feb-March, 1921, p. 29 scene in the early years of the twentieth century. English born, Pownall successfully combined his interest in painting with his professional role as a musician, especially as a singer, conductor and composer. Although heavily involved in theatrical pursuits, he was a prolific artist who painted many scenes in oil and watercolour, usually on a small scale in London and then in Melbourne after his arrival here via Sydney around 1914.1 As a painter in London he painted many brightly illuminated nocturnal scenes of the West End with an emphasis on the theatre district. He also painted scenes reflecting imperial imagery and daily city life.

    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.

Copyright : 2010, Double Dialogues Seeing as believing – or is it? Dr Rob Haysom Deakin University This article explores aspects of the life and art of the Australian artist Arnold Shore, the subject of my recently published book Arnold Shore – Pioneer Modernist, Macmillan Art Publishing, 2009. The pantheon of Australian art history celebrates particular artists and their visual output. These designated artists become the celebrated and orthodox names, who are seen as defining specific cultural and historical moments. Arnold Shore is cursorily acknowledged in many Australian art history accounts, most often for his teaching at the modernist school he co-founded in 1932, The Bell – Shore School. Much about his art and life remains hidden with the National Gallery of Victoria owning thirteen of his works, none of which are on display. Whilst suggesting there are specific reasons for Shore`s place in art history not being fully acknowledged, the article further investigates why some artists are consigned to a peripheral role, only for their significance and importance to be re-discovered at a later date after historical revisionism. Why is this so? Who are the tastemakers and gatekeepers that actively suppress artists stories and their contributions from receiving wider currency? What factors potentially conspire to obscure or push aside one group to the detriment of others? These questions are increasingly prescient in the twenty-first century as globalisation and spectacle capitalism, compete with representative historical perspectives; issues raised in the latter part of the article.
