  • The Fairfax Women and the Arts and Crafts Movement, 1899-1914
    CHAPTER 2 - FROM NEEDLEWORK TO WOODCARVING: THE FAIRFAX WOMEN AND THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT, 1899-1914 By the beginning of the twentieth century, the various campaigns of the women's movement had begun to affect the lives of non-campaigners. As seen in the previous chapter activists directly encouraged individual women who would profit from and aid the acquisition of new opportunities for women. Yet a broader mass of women had already experienced an increase in educational and professional freedom, had acquired constitutional acknowledgment of the right to national womanhood suffrage, and in some cases had actually obtained state suffrage. While these in the end were qualified victories, they did have an impact on the activities and lifestyles of middle-class Australian women. Some women laid claim to an increased level of cultural agency. The arts appeared to fall into that twilight zone where mid-Victorian stereotypes of feminine behaviour were maintained in some respects, while the boundaries of professionalism and leadership, and the hierarchy of artistic genres were interrogated by women. Many women had absorbed the cultural values taken to denote middle-class respectability in Britain, and sought to create a sense of refinement within their own homes. Both the 'new woman' and the conservative matriarch moved beyond a passive appreciation and domestic application of those arts, to a more active role as public promoters or creators of culture. Where Miles Franklin fell between the two stools of nationalism and feminism, the women at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement in Sydney merged national and imperial influences with Victorian and Edwardian conceptions of womanhood.

  • Ii: Mary Alice Evatt, Modern Art and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales
    Cultivating the Arts Page 394 CHAPTER 9 - WAGING WAR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT? II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.

  • PETER Mcneil Thea Proctor: Towards a Stylish Australia 2013 | Sydney Moderns: Art for a New World, Art Gallery of New South Wales
    PETER McNEIL Thea Proctor: Towards a stylish Australia 2013 | Sydney Moderns: Art for a New World, Art Gallery of New South Wales This essay was included in the 324 pp. catalogue for a major Art Gallery of Detail, Mr. J.G. 1922, ‘Australians must Develop Taste says Miss Thea New South Wales exhibition, Sydney Moderns: Art for a New World, 2013. It Proctor’, in The Home, June 1 1922, assessed the contribution of the artist-designer Thea Proctor as a significant p. 37 contributor to design, teaching and the wider visual culture of modernism in Australia from the 1890s to the 1950s. It has been well established in scholar- ship for twenty-five years that modernism in 1920s Australia was mediated through women’s spaces and women’s bodies, in decorative arts, fashion, adver- tising and department-store culture. In previous research, McNeil pursued the claims of the early feminist histories of Australian visual culture such as Mary Eagle. His precise focus on the development of interior decoration and also product design as an avenue for creative women practitioners was published as Designing Women in Art History (1994). McNeil’s essay here is based on new primary research conducted in the archives of the National Gallery of Australia. It argues for Proctor’s precise understanding of what suited Australian conditions and contemporary society. As well as writing for the catalogue, McNeil spent considerable time briefing the artist-designer Gitte Weise on the correct colour schemes for her recreation of the ‘Burdekin House’ room, the first exhibition of modern furniture in Australia (1929).

  • WOMEN and MODERNITY in INTERIOR DESIGN: a LEGACY of DESIGN in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA from the 1920S to the 1960S
    WOMEN AND MODERNITY IN INTERIOR DESIGN: A LEGACY OF DESIGN IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA FROM THE 1920s TO THE 1960s Carol A. Morrow A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA © Carol A. Morrow 2005 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that women were seminal to the development of interior design as a discipline and profession in Sydney, Australia. Covering the period from the 1920s to the 1960s, this study identifies Thea Proctor, Nora McDougall, Margaret Lord, Phyllis Shillito and Mary White as foundational leaders who progressively advanced interior design in Sydney through individual and collective understandings of design. Focussing on their contributions to this development, this study explains complex interrelationships between women and modernity in interior design. This emergence of the discipline and profession in Sydney situates the initiatives of these five women at a transitional phase of the field’s global development when ‘interior decoration’ is challenged by modern attitudes and artistic theories of ‘design’. Working as individuals, Proctor and her successors advance the profession—previously characterised as a ‘natural’ pursuit for women of ‘taste’ and ‘style’—by their artistic, rational and practical approaches to interior design. At a time when no distinct discipline exists in Sydney, the women offer instruction and forge new directions by reformulating previous overseas traditions: incorporating a wide-range of aesthetic and theoretical conceptions of design, demonstrating common and different approaches to practice, and integrating changes in requisite knowledge and skills in response to their times.

This technique, of which The rose is perhaps the most display highlights the vitality of work by a group of artists celebrated. A number of artists also experimented with who were excited at the capacity of these techniques to linocutting, which was taught in schools and art schools create images that were modern. during this period as an exercise in design. Adelaide Perry Such a blossoming of work was influenced by the greatly influenced its popularity through the example of her example of contemporary European and American own work – seen here in her impressive print The bridge - printmakers through the English journal Studio and by and through teaching. Dorrit Black, Ethel Spowers and Australian artists Lionel Lindsay, Margaret Preston and Eveline Syme studied under English artist Claude Flight at Napier Waller who championed the art of relief printmaking; the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London, producing reinforced by exhibitions, articles published in the journal works that exemplified his credo that lino cutting was ‘the Art in Australia and a contemporary enthusiasm for ultimate modern medium’. Due to the association of wood Japanese prints. Artists’ interest in wood and lino cuts and lino cuts with craft, décor and the feminine sphere should also be seen in the context of early twentieth century (particularly through The Home magazine), work in this area art, which witnessed a continuing breakdown of barriers of printmaking, though praised and published, was judged between art and craft; and of modernism, in which artists of lesser importance by the mainstream art establishment.

Role models like Jane Price, Jane Sutherland and Clara Southern had provided women with a basis to seriously pursue art as a profession. Circumstances and opportunity1 saw a flourishing of female artists establish a career through dedicated studies at a growing number of art schools, combined with travel overseas and, quite often, financial independence.
