Hans Heysen at work in his studio, 1921.

The studio at The Cedars was purpose built for Hans and completed in %XUQVLGH+LVWRULFDO6RFLHW\,QF 1913. It remains almost unaltered to the present and is set apart from the house on rising ground amongst some of the many gum trees on the property. It was built as a real workshop studio, a big, airy room with a high gabled roof. In one corner was a substantial bench made of NEWSLETTER - December 2008 Australian timber, whilst across an end of the studio was a large divan, a wonderful seat from which to view a work in progress.

With our usual assembly increased in number by visitors from the Campbelltown Question - Why do South Australians adopt the famous artist Sir Hans Historical Society, Dr. Carol Fort from Flinders University’s History Department Heysen but avoid a pilgrimage to his studio and home full of paintings? presented a fascinating picture of William Wyatt, the consummate ‘European Man of Science, out and about in his Empire.’ A group of our members visited the Heysen home and then lunched in Hahndorf. With reference to her book, Keeping the Trust and with the aid of a powerpoint Hans Heysen (1877-1968) with his wife Selma (Sallie), moved into a small presentation, Dr. Ford eschewed a lengthy description of the ‘Scheme’, as Wyatt rented cottage near Hahndorf in 1908 (just 100 years ago) and in 1912 bought called it, and concentrated on the intriguing life of the man. The Burnside The Cedars where they raised eight children. connection, with his home Kurralta, was soon introduced, along with details of both the public and private person. They modified their house to a chalet style, designed the garden and acquired woodland to build up the present 150 acres. Heysen’s studio was built on the hill Carol took as her opening insight Wyatt’s address to the Mechanics Institute in where he produced tens of thousands of artworks. It is now fixed in time and has 1842 on the Phenomenon of Living Creature, a scholarly treatise which could some of his masterful charcoal drawings a medium he favoured.

Over the fireplace is a still life of zinnias and fruit which the ballet dancer Anna Pavlova tried to The sheer size of Wyatt’s commitment to his new home, astounded the audience purchase with an open cheque. Many famous visitors to SA were entertained at - a medical man (ship’s surgeon on his trip from Plymouth), who, with his The Cedars. brother-in-law James Nash, formed the Medical Board and was its Secretary for 40 years, an Inspector of Schools, Protector of local Indigenous people, founding The house and grounds now need restoration, so the Heysen family is planning to member of Trinity Church on North Terrace and St.Matthews on Kensington establish a Trust to maintain the property for future generations to appreciate Road and active in the establishment of St. Peters College and Pulteney Heysen’s art and heritage. Grammar School. He was active in the RSPCA, the Acclimatisation Society, which led to the establishment of the Adelaide Zoo, but was thwarted in his Glen Woodward aspirations to manage the Botanic Gardens. Of particular disappointment to others was the fact that Wyatt’s death in 1886 prevented him from enjoying the exhibition of 1890, an event symbolic of his love and regard for Adelaide.

Dr. Ford concluded by outlining the nature of the Trust, which annually distributes $1 million to aid individuals “above the labouring class” who may be An Exhibition of Hans Heysen opened at the Art Gallery in poor or reduced circumstances.
