A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

How does the effect differ? Shade a piece of white paper using a thick piece of charcoal then use an eraser to draw into the tone to reveal white lines and shapes. Experiment with unconventional materials such as shoe polish and mud on flattened cardboard boxes. Use water on a paved surface to create ephemeral drawings. Document your drawings before they disappear. How do the documented forms differ from the originals? How did drawing with an eraser, shoe polish, mud and water compare to drawing with a pencil? What do you need to consider differently as an artist? How did handling these materials make you feel? Did you prefer one material to another? Create a line drawing with a pencil, a tonal drawing with charcoal and a loose ink drawing with a brush – all depicting the same subject. Compare your finished drawings. What were some of the positive and negatives of each approach? Is there one you prefer, and why? Draw without taking your drawing utensil off the page. What was challenging about this exercise? Draw something from observation without looking down at your drawing. Are you pleased with the result? What did you learn? Create a series of abstract pencil drawings using colours that reflect the way you feel.

    RALPH BALSON a Grand Vision in Active Colours

    RALPH BALSON A Grand Vision in Active Colours KEVIN HEGARTY copyright 2005 A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Art Theory School of Art History and Theory College of Fine Arts University of New South Wales June,2005 ABSTRACT Building on important studies of Ralph Balson (1890-1964) by, amongst others, Bruce Adams, Daniel Thomas and Paul McGillick, this thesis argues that colour played a central role in Balson's oeuvre. Although commented upon by a number of scholars and critics both during Balson's lifetime and since his death, colour for the most part has been considered relatively insignificant. As influences on his art, Cubism has often been cited. Additionally, the literature abounds with references to scientific theories and their impact. Parting company with these views, this thesis examines critical phases in Balson's career and suggests how in each case an intuitive understanding of colour helped create works that occupy a (still largely) underestimated place in the history of abstraction in Australia. Special attention is drawn to Balson's works in pastels (1951- 59). Overlooked for the most part, these allowed Balson to develop new expressive directions; ones in which colour, as always, was a determining factor. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr Alan Krell for his patience, advice and guidance during my candidature. I wish to also acknowledge support from Dr David McNeill and Dr Jill Bennett. In addition I would like to acknowledge the generous assistance given by William Balson (Balson Estate), Anne Lewis (past Director of Gallery A, Sydney) and the late Robert Klippel.

    A Curated Collection of Art to Celebrate Sydney Foreword

    ICC Sydney Art Collection A curated collection of art to celebrate Sydney Foreword Built to connect minds, cultures and ideas, International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) is the beating heart of Sydney’s new business and events precinct in Darling Harbour. Opened in December 2016, the venue is the centrepiece of a $3.4 billion rejuvenation of the precinct including a major upgrade to the facilities and public domain. Both inside and throughout the public areas, ICC Sydney is home to a superb collection of Australian art. The majority of the collection was commissioned in 1988 during the first major redevelopment of Darling Harbour to commemorate Australia’s bicentennial year and has been added to through the recent rejuvenation. An important part of Sydney’s heritage, the works have a Sydney emphasis with artists and their works initially chosen because of their connection to Sydney or the celebration of Sydney, its harbour and shorelines. There is no more appropriate place than a venue built for gatherings to celebrate the culture of our high performing, multinational, vibrant city, which includes Australia’s Aboriginal heritage. Thanks must go to the artists who donated their works or accepted only a small fee for their generosity. Thanks should also go to ICC Sydney’s venue manager for producing this book to celebrate and share a truly significant piece of Sydney heritage. The Hon.

It is due to the untiring efforts of the Keeper of the Gallery, Mr. Stan de Teliga, that it has come about. His labours have not been easy for detailed information1 about some artists, especially those who lived in the first half of last century, has often been difficult to obtain. Where omissions occur, or if mistakes have been made, we would be glad of advice from those who can assist us. It is proposed to issue supplementary catalogues from time to time to add to this issue.
