Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2021 Love, sex and death: The constant companions of art Streeton in love Wayne Tunnicliffe 10/11 February 2021 Lecture summary: Arthur Streeton is a celebrated landscape painter, but how did love, sex and death influence his art? This lecture focusses on Streeton’s protracted ten-year courtship in London of acclaimed violinist Nora Clench and considers how this relationship shaped his painting practice and transformed his career. It also looks back to the 1880s and reveals an earlier secret romance encoded in Streeton’s great Australian impressionist landscapes. After Streeton and Nora married in 1908, where did love, sex and death take them in the ensuing years of great social change in Europe and Australia? Using Streeton’s paintings, letters and some never before seen archival photographs, Streeton in love will take a very personal view of Arthur Streeton’s art and life.

  • An Australian Woman's Impression and Its Influences

    NOTE: Green underlined artist names indicate that a detail biography is provided in Dictionary of Australian Artists. Page 1 Copyright © 2019 David James Angeloro “ An Australian Woman’s Impression and Its Influences ” David James Angeloro “( A More Complete Picture )” by David James Angeloro was born and raised in Syracuse, New York and graduated from Columbia University ( New York City ) and (Excerpt of Draft January 2019) Hobart University ( Geneva ). In 1971, he immigrated to Australia where he has worked as a management- technology consultant for commonwealth-state-local government organisations and large corporations throughout Australasia. David’s interest (obsession) with fine arts started while attending university in New York City. In Australia, he earned a Masters of Art from Sydney University for his thesis Sydney’s Women Sculptors: Women’s Work in Three Dimensions [ 1788-1940 ]. His passion for art extends to art history with particular interests in women artists (his two daughters are well-known artists of mashed-up video works), sculptors and painter-etchers. The Angeloro family collections have been nearly fifty years in the making. David’s collecting philosophy focused on affordable second tier artists, who were generally well- known in their day, but have been ‘forgotten’ by art historians and curators. David has followed the world-wide trend of reassessing the position and value of pre-1940 painters, illustrators, printmakers and sculptors, especially marginalized women artists. Why I’m Selling The Collection ? I’m selling my collection because after nearly fifty years, I’m returning to New York and I don’t want these Australian treasures to be lost and unappreciated.
  • Land of the Golden Fleece—

    Land of the Golden Fleece—

    Land of the Golden Fleece— Arthur Streeton in the Western District A Geelong Gallery exhibition, 27 February to 13 June 2016 Opening: Friday 26 February (by invitation only) Geelong Gallery is delighted to present Land of the Golden Fleece—Arthur Streeton in the Western District, a major exhibition of exquisite landscape paintings of Victoria’s Western District by one of Australia’s foremost and much-loved artists, Arthur Streeton. On display from February to June, this exhibition focuses on the Geelong-born artist’s work from the years 1920-32, following his return from an extended period in Europe. Bringing together some 30 paintings from public and private collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia and Geelong Gallery, and curated by the Gallery in consultation with acknowledged Streeton expert Geoffrey Smith, Land of the Golden Fleece depicts locations in Victoria’s Western District frequented by the artist—Dunkeld, Halls Gap and the Grampians, as well as western coastal locations such as Lorne and Port Campbell—this vividly coloured and virtuoso series will, collectively, be a revelation for audiences. Two of the three paintings titled Land of the Golden Fleece will be seen together for the first time since their initial exhibition in Melbourne in 1927. Undoubtedly one of Australia’s most significant painters, Streeton came to prominence alongside fellow Australian Impressionist painters including Frederick McCubbin, Tom Roberts and Charles Conder in the 9×5 Impressions exhibition of 1889. In 1891, the painting Golden summer, Eaglemont (1889) was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and hung ‘on the line’ to widespread acclaim.

Christopher Riopelle, ed., with an introduction by Tim Bonyhady, and with contributions by Allison Goudie, Alex J. Taylor, Sarah Thomas, and Wayne Tunnicliffe. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017. 128 pp.; 70 color illus.; bibliography. $30.00 ISBN: 9781857096125 Australia’s Impressionists: by using this title the National Gallery’s curators Christopher Riopelle and Allison Goudie, and collaborators at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, have conscientiously separated this exhibition, its aims, and its outcomes from those of the Australian Impressionism exhibition held in 2007 at the National Gallery of Victoria. The difference between Australia’s Impressionists and Australian Impressionism or Australian Impressionists as an exhibition title may seem slight, but in making Australia take possession of Impressionism, the nomenclature matters.[1] The National Gallery’s curators at once announce their intention to appeal to the public with that key word “Impressionism,” while simultaneously disrupting persistent tendencies to conflate Impressionism with mid- and late-nineteenth-century France.
