LITERATURE: Kelly, M., Capital & Country: The Federation Years 1900 – 1913, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2013 “By 1910, Max Meldrum had begun to explore his own theories of painting. He had embarked on a selective study of the European realist tradition, ranging from the seventeenth-century figure compositions of Diego Velázquez to the rural landscapes of mid-nineteenth century Barbizon school painter, Camille Corot. Meldrum established a practice of painting directly from life, with a rapid application of colours and restricted tonal palette. A controversial figure owing to his fiery temper and apparently radical theories, on his return to Melbourne in 1913 Meldrum presented public lectures on these ideas and later established an Australian tonalist school of painting.” $5,000-7,000

In 1911, when Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright was painted, Arthur Streeton was living a charmed life in England. He had comfortable lodgings at St John’s Wood, London, he was a member of various high-ranking British and Colonial art associations and was establishing himself as an artist with international reach and reputation. During these English years, Streeton was well known for travelling and painting abroad, particularly in Venice, but he also ventured to paint locations closer to home. The search for suitable subject matter took him to the English counties, where he often painted in the company of newly made friends or as a guest of wealthy art patrons. Although we do not know precisely why Streeton ventured to the East Midlands in 1911, he would have been attracted to the area’s beautiful valleys, meandering streams, broad leaf foliage and rocky outcrops and peaks. Known as the birthplace of the world’s first water-powered cotton mills, the purpose-built industrial town of Cromford was both a thriving haven for visitors and the home of the mill’s founder Sir Richard Arkwright (1755-1843) and his family. Streeton’s 1935 catalogue of oil paintings for 1911 show that he found several subjects of interest within a short distance of the village. Two hill and cloud studies are listed, as is our painting, Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright. A well-known companion picture Arkwright’s Valley was later acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria. A comparison between the two Arkwright Valley works reveal much about Streeton’s working methods and his painterly response to nature.

RELATED WORK: Arkwright’s Valley, Derbyshire (1911) in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria
Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright is a delightfully fresh en plein air work. Still in its original Thallon frame, it has been tightly held in the same Australian family’s collection for over 105 years. The subject matter is a typically bucolic English landscape. The view possibly takes in The Black Rocks or alternatively, the natural grit or sandstone quarries that abounded in this area. Streeton conveys the feeling of English light and the dominant colours of the local landscape but he also deftly captures transitory, atmospheric effects. Dark clouds and a passing squall are sensitively rendered, contrasting with hillsides and pasture that are illuminated by the warming rays of the sun. Streeton’s style of painting had developed and matured during his time in England. Broad strokes and thick impastos of paint are applied liberally across the surface in both paintings, while the colours have changed to russet brown, creams and multiple hues of yellow and green. The primary difference is that the atmospheric effects he observed in Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright have been transformed in the studio painting into a rainbow; landmarks have become more refined in style and small details have been added.1 Both the Derbyshire paintings were brought back to Australia when Streeton returned in April 1914. Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright was exhibited at the Victorian Artists Society, Eastern Hill, two months later in June. A contemporary critic referred to the exhibition as ‘magical’ and that ‘the romantic spots of historic England are a favourite motif’.2 The Arkwright Valley paintings were highly valued by Streeton. In c.1913 he had a lithograph made of the same subject3 and exhibited it along with five other English and Venetian scenes in London. Valley of Sir Richard Arkwright was sold privately; however, Streeton kept the larger picture until 1940, when it was included in a farewell exhibition. 1. A sign of Streeton’s artistic license in Arkwright’s Valley, Derbyshire can also be gauged by letter writers who commented on how Streeton had changed the natural order of the colours of the rainbow.

LITERATURE: Bloomfield, L., Norman Lindsay Oil Paintings 1889 - 1969, Odana Editions, New South Wales, 2006, pp.54 - 55 (illus.) RELATED WORKS: The Lute Player - Preliminary sketch for the oil painting, c.1924, pencil on paper, 18 x 21.5cm, in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra $120,000-160,000 Viewing in Sydney
EXHIBITIONS: On long term loan to the Norman Lindsay Gallery Springwood, Faulconbridge, New South Wales
The Lute Player, c.1924 is among the finest of Norman Lindsay’s oil paintings. A masterpiece of sensual beauty, it evokes the grandeur of a Titian nude. The pose recalls in part the Venetian master’s Venus with Cupid and a Lute Player of about 1562 in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.1 And other Renaissance references abound in and through the presence of the lute, that long necked and full bodied instrument so favoured for secular music in those earlier times. Even Shakespeare was given to admiration when he gave Richard III the words of capering ‘…nimbly in a lady’s chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute’.2 Through the gifted hands of Lindsay, boldness is transformed into elegance, as the play of light on abundant flesh captures the eye, arousing the tactile senses and delighting in the amorous curves and gentle angles of the body. Grand in composition and painterly appeal, the indolence of gesture is effectively contrasted against the glistening fabrics. Scholars debate a Neoplatonic interpretation of Titian’s several paintings of Venus accompanied by a musical instrument and its player, of the contest between the senses of sight and hearing as better suited to the appreciation of love. In his painting The Lute Player, Lindsay declares the victory of sight through the lute laid aside for the veneration of visual beauty, the player in supplicant position and admiration. Lindsay’s model is Rose, his wife and his Venus, posing for the central figure as well as the two ladies on either side. Three photographs are known of Rose posing, and the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, has the composition drawing.3 Dark-haired Rose (1885 – 1978), was Lindsay’s second wife, a beauty of face and figure. As his most popular model, she appeared in his art for over twenty-five years. ‘Distinguished by her fine, pale skin, deep-set almond eyes, rosebud lips and luscious dark hair, Rose was an artist’s model par excellence.’ 4 Before Lindsay, she had modeled for many of his artist-contemporaries including Julian Ashton, who introduced her to Lindsay, Sydney Long, Dattilo Rubo and Harold Cazneaux. Dry of wit and vivacious of temperament and appearance, who could resist her? Here crowned with a wig of blonde hair, in The Lute Player her presence is commanding, sovereign of visual beauty, celebrated and admired. As the musician casts aside his lute to bend his knee in honour of beauty, all are engaged in a conversation of gestures of indulgent invitation in a triumph of visual seduction. In 2015 The Lute Player was the centre of attention at the Norman Lindsay Gallery and Museum, at Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains, when Andrew Byrne, one of Australia’s leading exponents of the lute gave an evening recital in its presence. It shares its magnificence with another brilliant oil, Court to Peacocks, c.1924, painted to hang in Lindsay’s living room. Douglas Stewart once wrote excitedly of Lindsay: ‘He paints women as if they were goddesses’.5 With most of Lindsay’s major oils now in public galleries and museums, The Lute Player offers a rare opportunity for the discerning to enrich their collection. 1.

EXHIBITIONS: On long term loan to the Norman Lindsay Gallery Springwood, Faulconbridge, New South Wales LITERATURE: Bloomfield, L., Norman Lindsay: Watercolours 1897 - 1969, Odana Editions, Bungendore, New South Wales, 2003, pp. 62 - 63 (illus.)

Curtains are suggestive. They hide what is behind them. When drawn, curiosity and expectation are replaced by the excitement of the presentation. In this sparkling watercolour The Curtain, 1921, by Norman Lindsay, a feast of visual beauty is revealed as dwarfs pull aside the heavy drapes. The sense of theatre is palpable as the ladies present themselves on their very private stage. With the performance about to begin, the audience, alias the viewer is invited to join in. Narrative in Lindsay’s art unfolds through the eyes and gestures of his players, highlighted by theatrical effects and presentations. Fascinating of eyes, these ladies look outside the picture to fix on members of the audience. Only the dark lady of the far right engages the viewer directly with coquettish look and invitation. This she confirms by her fan and its own flirtatious language. The fan held open in the left hand was an invitation to engagement. As so often in Lindsay’s art, the composition centers on the statuesque nakedness of the single female figure. For The Curtain, the model was Lindsay’s wife Rose, his favourite. In recollection, Lindsay wrote of Rose: ‘Finally, as the feminine image was the central motif of my work, she dramatized it for me in the flesh under terms which involved me in all its emotional complexities, lyrical and demonical’.1 Rose liked the watercolour so much that she would not let it go. It hung for many years in their home at Springwood.2 In the preliminary compositional drawing, the pencil studies detail Rose’s figure, while the others surround her in an embracing curve. This is taken up in the watercolour where curve echoes curve, dominant and in detail. The grouping of the figures, for example, is answered in the semicircle of the foreground, and replied again in the garments and floral decoration of the curtain behind. As a backdrop, the curtain also provides cleverly contrasting textures to highlight the smoothness of the generous flesh. Norman’s Lindsay’s explorations of the femme fatale, the lyrical and the demonical which no mere male can resist, enjoyed numerous manifestations in a varying mix of enticement and the slightly confrontational. The naked centerpiece might be the beautiful Venus, goddess of love, or if of Junoesque proportion, Juno herself, mighty queen and well suited to the all-powerful Zeus. Throughout Lindsay’s oils and watercolours, leering buccaneers and bacchanals abound, peopled with buxom beauties and naked ladies plumed with fantastic headdresses. Spring’s Innocence, 1937, in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, is heavy with erotic fruitfulness. Another major oil, Incantation, 1940, (Deutscher and Hackett, Sydney, 1 September 2010, lot 32) seems to have had its genesis in The Curtain. As in the watercolour La Premiere Danseuse, 1930 (private collection, New South Wales), many of Lindsay’s finest early watercolours were inspired by the theatre, especially the ballet and its language of captivating movement. Among these, The Curtain, with its nubile ladies, is one of the best. 1.

OTHER NOTES: The Australian-born Patricia Harewood, née Tuckwell (1926-2018), was the widow of the Queen’s first cousin, George Lascelles, the Seventh Earl of Harewood (1923-2011), whom she married in 1967. Born in Melbourne, she went on to study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and played in the first violins of the Sydney Symphony. In the late 1940s, she married the photographer Athol Smith (1914-1990), and became a successful fashion model, starting a model college under her professional name, Bambi Smith. In the late 1950s she moved to England where she resided in Harewood House. It is at this property where the painting hung for more than half a century on the wall above her desk in the sitting room in the private apartments. $18,000-22,000 Viewing in Sydney
George Edwards Peacock, a solicitor by profession, arrived in Sydney aboard the Prince George on 8 May 1837, transported from Yorkshire for defrauding his brother. Seeking social grace through painting, he became known for his images of Sydney harbour, which he created from c.1844-1857. As seen in Heads of Port Jackson, NSW 1852 Peacock’s oils were generally small and atmospheric, renowned for their idyllic beauty. Port Jackson was a crucial entry point for marine traffic and played a key role in the history and development of Sydney. Given Peacock’s education and professional background, he was instantly assigned to work as a meteorological recorder at the South Head weather station. It was here that he took a liking to the sea’s temperaments and developing landscape surrounding the shoreline. In this painting Peacock references the harsh and rapidly changing conditions of the sea. With aggressive rocks, stormy sky and grey palette, Peacock empathises with the boatmen in their somewhat flimsy rowing boat, using nothing more than their paddles to reach land.

EXHIBITIONS: The Blue Room, Liverpool Street Gallery, Sydney 5 – 31 July 2014, cat. no. 1 Keeling stages her narrative by first photographing and sketching her models in a domestic setting. Each painting’s scene in The Blue Room suite unfolds in the same blue room. The photography is integral to her working process as it captures fleeting moments of light and shadow. Keeling then skillfully employs rich pigments and layers of thin glazes to create her precise paintings. The suite of paintings in The Blue Room moves away from evoking a drama reminiscent of Hitchcock and film noir, and focuses on the atmosphere that light and shadow play in transforming the pose of the female nude. $4,000-6,000 53 TIM MAGUIRE (born 1958) Untitled, 98D80 1999 oil on linen signed, titled and dated verso: Maguire ‘99 / Untitled 98D80 60 x 119.5cm PROVENANCE: Schubert Art Galleries, Queensland (label verso) Private collection, Melbourne

OTHER NOTES: “Tim Maguire’s paintings are cinematic in scale and distinctive for their rich colouration and technical skill. Giant flowers and golden fruit resonate from ambiguous backgrounds. The work is sumptuous, romantic. Maguire uses digital photographs as source material for his oil paintings. He applies colour separation techniques – not unlike those used in commercial printing – which blur the distinction between the digital and the handcrafted.” - Tolarno Galleries: Tim Maguire $14,000-20,000 54 BILL HENSON (born 1955) Untitled 2005/2006 c-type colour photograph, ed.1/5 signed, dated, and titled lower right: ‘Untitled 2006’ Bill Henson inscribed lower left: CLSH 560 ‘FB’ N7 105 x 155cm (image) PROVENANCE: Roslyn Oxley Gallery, Sydney, cat no. 41 (label verso) Graham Geddes, Melbourne Private collection, Melbourne $18,000-25,000
