EDITED SPEECH OF MR ANTHONY HOWARD QC DELIVERED AT THE OPENING OF ‘O’KEEFFE, PRESTON, COSSINGTON SMITH: MAKING MODERNISM’ EXHIBITION– HEIDE MUSEUM Monday 10 October 2016 Mr Steven Skala AO, Chairman of the Heide Museum of Modern Art, and Board members Mr Robert Kret, Director of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Mr Michael Brand, Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales Ms Chris Saines, Director of the Queensland Art Gallery Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. I send warmest greetings from my wife, Governor Linda Dessau. Unfortunately she has lost her voice, so the gallery has agreed for me, and it is my absolute pleasure, to launch this beautiful exhibition on her behalf. I only resigned as a judge last week after 10 years service so I could be more involved in our community activities, but did not expect to be thrown in the deep end so soon! First, in the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we are gathering and pay my respects to their elders past and present and to any elders with us this evening. Your invitation particularly resonated with the Governor and me. We see Heide as bringing together the richness of life in Victoria, as represented tonight by philanthropy, art and the “creative collision” between several artists. And on this occasion, as the first male spouse of a Governor of Victoria, I am especially pleased to be launching an all female exhibition! Our State would be immeasurably the poorer without the generosity and vision of our philanthropists. It is impossible to stand here without reflecting on that, on the site and in a museum that realised the dream of John and Sunday Reed, two of Australia’s greatest art benefactors, who were Victorians as well. One of the joys of the Governor’s role and mine is the constant exposure it gives us to that sort of generosity. It affords us the chance to thank people for their giving and their vision, and there is no 1 doubt that a high tide raises all boats. The leadership shown by the Reeds has undoubtedly inspired others, and has been replicated in turn across families and across generations. Many of those with that generous nature are with us this evening. The Governor particularly wanted to emphasise that one of the other great joys of this role is the privilege of choosing and living amongst some of the exquisite art that hangs in Government House, from the collection of our National Gallery of Victoria. We are indeed very grateful for the generosity of that esteemed gallery, which exposes such works to our community and visitors to Government House. The Governor noted from a recent media article that much of the art selected by the Prime Minister and his wife, to hang in The Lodge is by Victorian artists, either born or settled here. She said this is the myopic view with which she approaches her reading nowadays! Amongst them were works by: Blackman, Brack, Fred Williams, Streeton, Drysdale, Nolan, Arthur Boyd and Margaret Preston (well, she studied briefly in Melbourne). When we moved into Government House, we had no complaints at all about the beautiful art from the NGV that graced the walls, including a wonderful collection of Streetons and Bunnys. But we did fear that our works might have left our local and our international guests with the impression that art in this State stopped in the early to mid 20th century. However, we share the ambition of this Museum of Modern Art to showcase the brilliant works of recent and current artists, and so it has been a pleasure to add Fred Williams and Arthur Boyd, Larwill and Arkley, Blackman, Brack, Senbergs and Brook Andrew amongst many others to our display. Pertinent to today and this wonderful exhibition, it has also been a pleasure to ensure that, amongst those artists, female artists are also represented on the walls of our State House. We have, for example two Margaret Prestons, “Waratah” and “Banksia and Flannel Flowers”. We have hung an Angela Brennan, have set a large Inge King in the garden, and the dining room is currently hung with 6 Emily Floyds from her series Solve Your Personal Problem Socially. I note Emily Floyd has had an exhibition at Heide, and her sculptures grace the entrance to the gallery here. Victoria’s status as a creative State, with arts based events, and a thriving industry across all the arts and design, as well as Melbourne’s position as the world’s most liveable city for the 6th consecutive year is, we hope, highlighted by what we are able to show. 2 After all, our creative industries collectively represent nearly $23 billion, or 8%, of the State’s economy. And our reputation is enhanced by our arts based major events, and the fact that millions of locals and tourists are attracted to the vast array of arts on offer. It is against that backdrop that we are fortunate to have a thriving gallery and museum culture in Victoria, and Heide Museum of Modern Art is one of the most important. The fact that it showcases not only the modernist artists of the ‘Heide Circle’, but also the work of living artists and emerging artists, places it at the vanguard of our cultural institutions. This exhibition, which will tour in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and perhaps America, represents a “creative collision” between three artists with a modernist vision. The Governor was particularly taken by the boldness of bringing together the work of these three women. She admits up front the showing of three outstanding women artists does not disappoint her – particularly as the percentage of women hung in museums and galleries still lags drastically far behind the men. It enriches us all when we are able to see more work of what is, after all, half the population. We applaud those who conceived the exhibition of these different artists, women who worked independently of each other, and in the case of Georgia O’Keeffe, of course, in a part of the world such a very long way away from Australia. It is incredible to note that between the three artists there is a lifetime of 279 artistic years in total – O’Keeffe living to 99, Preston to 88 and Cossington Smith to 92! Clearly, there is clever curation involved, which highlights the parallels and the differences between the works. There is a connection in subject matter, namely, that of flowers and plants, indigenous and local themes, similarities in light and colour and a modernist approach to the respective locations of the artists. But I will leave it for others to talk with authority about the artists and the themes of the exhibition. I shall leave them to do what they do best, and shall instead turn to the task I have to preform on behalf of the Governor. That is to congratulate your esteemed chairman, Steven Skala, and his Board; to compliment your director, Kirsty Grant on this outstanding exhibition and indeed, on her body of work during her 2 years at Heide; to acknowledge the sponsors; and of course to congratulate the collaborative efforts of the five curators who have come together from across Victoria, New South Wales and America to make this exhibition possible. And to note - this is the first time a major body of work by Georgia O’Keeffe has been brought to Australia. 3 Finally, a significant question arises as to how best to launch an art exhibition! I can hardly smash a bottle of champagne against such valuable paintings. I contemplated inviting you all to throw paint against a blank canvas in an attempt to create Blue Poles 2, which might then be sold to enrich the Heide Gallery. But it’s probably best if I just wish you all well, and declare with pleasure the O’KEEFFE, PRESTON, COSSINGTON SMITH: MAKING MODERNISM Exhibition, officially open! 4 .

Primarily a figurative painter, his works responded to the world around him and his own life experiences, and they often reflected critically on society. During his career he played an active role in art politics, particularly in the 1940s, writing influential articles about the direction of art in Australia. He also held prominent positions within the art community, including President of the Contemporary Art Society in the late 1940s and again in the 1960s. Tucker grew up during the Depression and began his career as a young artist in the late 1930s, in the years leading up to the outbreak of World War II. At this time, his world was defined by financial insecurity, social inequality and war, and these concerns became the catalyst for much of his painting.

  • Joy Hester: Remember Me 30 June to 4 October 2020 Heide Galleries Curator: Kendrah Morgan
    Joy Hester: Remember Me 30 June to 4 October 2020 Heide Galleries Curator: Kendrah Morgan Please note that in this exhibition checklist the works are arranged chronologically, then alphabetically by title. The exhibition publication is available in the Heide Shop. Introduction This exhibition marks the centenary of the birth of Joy Hester (1920–1960), one of Australia’s most original modernist artists who used drawing as a vehicle to explore the complexity of the human condition. Working almost exclusively in brush and ink or watercolour, Hester created intuitive images that express the myriad ways in which we respond to experiences and the world around us. She freed herself from conventional methods and means and brought a powerful female sensibility to subjects considered provocative during her lifetime including love, sex, birth, and death. Hester was an integral figure in the progressive creative group today referred to as the Angry Penguins or the Heide circle, who looked to the European avant garde for new ways of articulating the pressing issues of the era. However, almost from the outset her work was distinct from that of her predominantly male peers due to her chosen medium, which at the time was considered inferior to painting. While her socially conscious imagery of the early 1940s aligns with that of other Heide circle artists such her first husband Albert Tucker, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd and Danila Vassilieff, by the end of the decade Hester had taken an alternative, more personal path that focused on making manifest emotional and bodily experience. Emphasising the figure and face—and in particular the eyes— as a means to probing the depths of the psyche, she experimented with diverse stylistic modes and gradually found her own voice.

  • Submission Cover Sheets
    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 727 Request to be heard?: yes Full Name: Lachlan Plain Organisation: Sanctum Studio Affected property: Bulleen Art & Garden, 6 Manningham Rd West, Bulleen VIC Attachment 1: Art_Community_P Attachment 2: Attachment 3: Comments: Art, Community, Place outlines how public art on North East Link can help enhance local communities and create a dynamic experience for commuters without significant project cost. An evolving public art program would reflect local heritage and community concerns, using local artists where possible. As well as large scale sculptures visible from the road, smaller scale sculpture, community and environmental art could be enjoyed in communal areas associated with the North East Link works, such as walkways and parkland. Murals and projection art would add another dimension to the area in a cost-effective way. Art, Community, Place is intended as a public submission for consideration by the joint Inquiry and Advisory Committee (IAC) as it relates to the Environment Effects Statement (EES). We recommend that it be incorporated into the Urban Design Strategy to assist with the development of a locally focused art program for North East Link. Art, Community, Place has been prepared by Sanctum Studio under the auspices of Bulleen Art & Garden (BAAG). Both BAAG and Sanctum Studio have worked extensively with emerging and established artists, arts associations and community groups over several decades. Feedback from local arts networks has been taken into consideration in preparing this document, to ensure the full potential of the public art program is realised and enjoyed by the in-excess-of 100,000 commuters travelling on NE Link daily.

  • HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE in the 1940S
    MEDIA RELEASE 28 May 2015 HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE IN THE 1940s Opening on 20 June 2015, Halcyon Days: Heide in the 1940s celebrates highlights of Heide Museum of Modern Art’s collection from the 1940s, a heady period of extraordinary creative achievement and cultural change in the history of Heide. Throughout the 1940s, John and Sunday Reed’s home, Heide, formed a focal point for some of Australia’s most avant- garde artists, who rejected conventional ways of living and learning and spearheaded the modernist movement in Melbourne. This constellation of rising talent included the young Sidney Nolan, cerebral painter Albert Tucker and his partner Joy Hester, the quiet yet passionate Arthur Boyd and free-spirited John Perceval. Each developed a distinctive practice and came to hold an undisputed place in the canon of Australian art. Such was John and Sunday’s belief in this group that they supported them financially and materially and in some instances formed close attachments to them. As poet Barrett Reid observed, the Reeds provided a ‘total concentration of life’ at Heide, which not only gave rise to unprecedented experimentation and attainment, but witnessed a drama of human relationships. 1 MEDIA RELEASE The 1940s saw the creation of many much-loved Heide icons and the selection displayed in Halcyon Days will include Ned Kelly and St Kilda images by Nolan, some of Hester’s compelling psychological portraits, and surrealist images by Tucker. In addition, a remarkable major portrait group by Boyd makes its debut, a recent donation to the Museum by the Estate of Beverly Brown.

  • Abstract Biography of the Author
    FRAME: Concept, History and Conservation: Symposium 2, AGNSW, Sydney, April 3 - 5, 2019 George Bisacca Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, USA [email protected] Abstract This lecture traces the evolution of ornament in Renaissance Florence through manuscript illumination, sculptural and architectural detail, furniture and fresco painting, culminating in the art of Bernardo Buontalenti, who is seen as a link between Mannerism and the Baroque and whose designs in the decorative arts may be responsible for the emergence of the auricular style in frames for the Galleria Palatina at Palazzo Pitti after the devastating fire of 1638. Although various scholars and frame historians attribute the origin of the auricular style to the Netherlands, this is at odds with the otherwise austere and sparse ornament present on buildings and furniture both before and after its 20-year popularity in the Low Countries. Given the seamless evolution and proliferation of ornamental forms across more than three centuries in Italy in general and in Florence in particular, the style would seem to be more logically explained as an outgrowth of existing trends. The flatness and reduced scale of the Northern examples relative to the Florentine prototypes is probably due to the designs first being disseminated northward through drawings. Biography of the Author George Bisacca, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Before joining the Paintings Conservation Department at the Metropolitan in 1983, Mr. Bisacca received conservation training at the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, specializing in the structural treatment of paintings on solid support. He has since been invited to treat panel paintings at several institutions in the United States and Europe.

The Stella Prize was founded due to an awareness that women writers were underrepresented in three key areas: ✦ as winners of literary prizes ✦ as authors of the books reviewed ✦ as the authors of the books on the school curriculum On the current curriculum text lists set for Australian secondary students: ✦ In NSW, nearly 70% of HSC texts (2015–20) are written by male authors, and fewer than 14% of texts are written by Australian women. ✦ In Victoria (2015), male writers make up 68% of the VCE English text list and 59% of the VCE English Literature text list. There is a feedback loop here: if women miss out on the major literary prizes and receive less media attention and fewer reviews, they are much less likely to be chosen for school reading lists, as curriculum developers tend to look at prize lists and at which books are receiving most attention when selecting new books for the syllabus. This matters, because it sends messages to girls and boys about whose voices and experiences are most important.

Recently discharged from the army and primed with a fresh vocabulary of imagery that drew upon his wartime experiences, he commenced a suite of paintings which is now seen as a turning point in the advancement of modernism within twentieth-century Australian culture. The Images of Modern Evil series, painted between 1943 and 1948, offers a probing and powerful insight into the schismatic social and political climate of World War II and its aftermath. Though neither critically nor popularly successful at the time, the series proved formative in Tucker’s practice as a distillation of humanist, psychological and mythological ideas and as a vehicle for specific motifs and narratives that have endured within his art. The series starts with pictures of predatory and lascivious behaviour in Melbourne’s streets at night that have a gritty, elemental edge.
