  • 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.

Egyptian brick j. the twentieth century k. the adobe revival a. distribution The sun-dried brick or adobe is one of the oldest identifiable man-made building materials, and was widely spread across the Near and Middle East in various shapes and sizes, before being taken up as the principal building material of Rome. However a sharp distinction must be made between the hand-moulded lump and that cast in a wooden mould. The lump is far older, and an example from about 8,000 BC has been found at Jericho, though the material is probably even earlier than this. These bricks commonly have a flat base and curved top and look much like a loaf of bread, because they are similarly formed with the hands. A version which had emerged in the Middle East by the third millennium BC is known as the plano-convex brick, because of this typical shape. In North America the Pueblo Indians built in somewhat similar bricks which had evolved independently, but around the Mediterranean there is a continuum from ancient times. In Spain, where adobe has been identified from as early as the 10th century BC,1 plano- convex mud bricks are known as gleba,2 while bricks of a similar shape are known as far away as Czechoslovakia, and handmade bricks of other irregular forms elsewhere in Europe.

NAME ORIGIN SIGNIFICANCE Alistair Knox Alistair Samuel Knox Designer, builder, writer, educator Terrace (1912-1986) Following service in the Australian Navy during World War II, in 1946 Alistair Knox commenced studying architecture and building construction part-time at Melbourne Technical College. Resigning from his employment with Victoria’s State Savings Bank, he sought to formalise and promote mudbrick construction in Australian building practice. His extensive body of work, primarily residential, was influenced by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Burley Griffin, Australian landscape art and his association with the Montsalvat artistic community in Eltham, Victoria. Employing handmade mud brick and recycled materials, his distinctive buildings are acclaimed for their creativity and sensitive manner of integration with the landscape. His books, Living in the Environment (1975) and Alternative Housing: Building with the head, the heart and the hand (1980) popularised and advanced earth building in Australia.
