List of Works
4 JANUARY – 22 MARCH 2020 Margaret's Gift acknowledges and celebrates the generous legacy of Margaret Olley AC (1923-2011). Olley was a preeminent artist who had more than 90 solo exhibitions during her lifetime. Using funds from her own exhibition sales Olley would purchase fellow artists works, which she would then in turn donate to numerous galleries. She was also an entrepreneur who invested wisely in residential properties, that in turn brought in a steady income. This put her in a unique position in which she could, not only focus on her own artistic practice but she had the time and means to paint, travel, acquire and donate. The working relationships and life-long friendships she developed with gallery curators, directors and fellow artists are testament to her unwavering support of art and culture within this country. Throughout her lifetime, Olley continued to donate and provide funds to various institutions. This approach enabled institutions to acquire significant works of art. Many of these works are now considered collection highlights, spanning national, state, regional and university art collections. The Margaret Olley Art Trust was established in 1990. This legacy continues today, with the ongoing support of the trustees of the Margaret Olley Art Trust, through both donation of work or funds allocated to a specific project. This exhibition is the second in a series of three that has the generous support of the Margaret Olley Art Trust. Curated by Renée Porter, the exhibition presents over 60 works from collections in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT and include works by European masters, Australian artists and ceramics from Papua New Guinea which were her earliest known gifts. -

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.

Brett Whiteley: on the Water
Brett Whiteley: On the Water Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre 16th November 2012 – 27th January 2013 Education Kit: Year 7 to 12 Contents: About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley: brief Artist Biography Process Curriculum Connections Art Historical and Critical Study Questions Artmaking Activities Cross-Curricular activities Glossary of Terms References Acknowledgements Images About this Exhibition Brett Whiteley was one of the most celebrated Australian artists of the twentieth century. This major exhibition Brett Whiteley: On the Water features over 60 works including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. A highlight being his last unfinished work, Unfinished Beach Polyptych: six imposing panels leaving the Brett Whiteley Studio for the first time in 17 years. Whiteley was an artist who had a deep fascination with nature. Two subjects were the mainstay of his work – the landscape and the nude – and with stunning virtuosity and outstanding draughtsmanship he rendered them with a sensuousness and unique lyrical quality. Brett Whiteley: On the Water explores this special relationship Whiteley had with these subjects, the deep blue of Sydney Harbour, the glistening beaches, and the pleasurable lifestyle of the bathers languidly basking in the sun. The images tell of sensory pleasures derived from total immersion in the surf, to the meditative mood of simply staring out to sea and gazing at the harbour from his beloved home in Lavender Bay. Brett Whiteley: On the Water is presented by Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in association with the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the Brett Whiteley Studio and works from private and public collections. This exhibition is especially relevant given Hazelhurst Regional Gallery’s location in Sydney’s south, surrounded by beaches, bays and rivers nestled in the Royal National Park. -

A well-known figure from the time she was painted by William Dobell in 1948, Olley’s celebrity status tended to overshadow her life as a painter. This documentary puts Margaret OIley the painter on centre stage. Many believe her last works – those painted in the eighteen months leading up to her death on 26 July 2011 – were amongst her finest. SCREEN EDUCATION © ATOM 2012 © ATOM SCREEN EDUCATION 2 Synopsis: Margaret Olley, an Australian painter, died in July 2011 aged 88 as she was putting the finishing touches to what would be her final exhibition. She was a remarkable artist and a generous supporter of other artists. This documentary gives viewers an insight into the life and work of this greatly admired Australian painter through the recollections of those who knew her and were familiar with her work. We see Margaret Olley painting and talking about her Place Clockwise from top left: Kilim Rug and Pomegranates; work and learn about her early life Emeritus Curator Olley kitchen; Olley painting and the artists who influenced her Barry Pearce calls the Sydney house in which distinctive style.

Education Resource
Education Resource This education resource has been developed by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and is also available online An Art Gallery of New South Wales exhibition toured by Museums & Galleries NSW DRAWING ACTIVITIES Draw with black pencil on white paper then with white pencil on black paper. 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. -
