36 71269 - Max Meldrum 'Poland (Madame de Tarczynska)' 1917
Max Meldrum
'Poland (Madame de Tarczynska)' 1917
Purchased 1980
Jadwiga de Tarczynska (neé Kilbach) arrived in Australia in 1912, on holiday with her close friend, concert violinist Stanislaw de Tarczynski. Jadwiga and Stanislaw married in Melbourne in early 1913. The outbreak of the war prevented their return to Europe and reluctantly they exchanged their tourist visas to become immigrants.
The young couple quickly emerged as active members of the Melbourne arts and cultural community; Stanislaw performed in Melbourne theatres, Jadwiga took up language teaching, and their grand Mont Albert residence became a cultural hub.
In Poland (Madame de Tarczynska), Jadwiga is depicted in a costume from the Kraków region, its embroidered lace-up vest, long colourful ribbons, lace apron and cap l...

The film also looks at the establishment of the Archibald Prize and the National Gallery School in Melbourne.

Victorian Artist Society Paint Out at Fed Square 6th October 2013
The Victorian Artists Society and Fed Square held a special activity for Seniors Week on Sunday 6 October when painters and art teachers will be painting and drawing to encourage a greater interest in art for seniors.
Formed in 1870 by a small group of artists and lay persons, the Victorian Artists Society has played and continues to play a pivotal role in art in Victoria and Australia based on a rich foundation of master artists such as Louis Buvelot, Sir Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Frederic McCubbin, Walter Withers, William Frater, Max Meldrum and Sir William Dargie.
Eileen Mackley, a Director of the Victorian Artists Society said, taking the 'live' painting class at Fed Square is aimed at providing people an opportunity to see what is involved in taking up painti...

Old Rocking Chair
As much meditation as song, I wrote this whilst staying with my grandmother shortly before her death of old age. A lifelong landscape painter closely associated with an Australian school of tonal impressionism influenced by Max Meldrum, Jessie introduced me at an early age to Dostoevsky, Jung, Marx, Russian folk medicine, Shakespeare and Picasso. During that final visit our talks ranged far and wide. Between talks she slept and I wrote these lines.
Words, music and mix by Matcham Caine. RIP Jessie, wherever you are.

Max Meldrum
'Poland (Madame de Tarczynska)' 1917
Purchased 1980
Jadwiga de Tarczynska (neé Kilbach) arrived in Australia in 1912, on holiday with her close friend, concert violinist Stanislaw de Tarczynski. Jadwiga and Stanislaw married in Melbourne in early 1913. The outbreak of the war prevented their return to Europe and reluctantly they exchanged their tourist visas to become immigrants.
The young couple quickly emerged as active members of the Melbourne arts and cultural community; Stanislaw performed in Melbourne theatres, Jadwiga took up language teaching, and their grand Mont Albert residence became a cultural hub.
In Poland (Madame de Tarczynska), Jadwiga is depicted in a costume from the Kraków region, its embroidered lace-up vest, long colourful ribbons, lace apron and cap later becoming the most recognised of all historical Polish costumes. She was dressed for one of many Polish Day celebrations the couple hosted at their home when Max Meldrum caught a glimpse of her. They had formed a close friendship with the outspoken Scottish-born artist, who was inspired to capture the vibrancy of her attire. Meldrum noted at the time that the portrait would have to be a sprint, an impression filled with nervous energy, as the ribbons might move at a second sitting. [1]
The human subject for Meldrum was less important than the act of painting. His broad, energetically applied brushstrokes quickly captured the light and shade of his subject, yet he paid minimal attention to facial expression. He produced a lively image with pure bright colours, contrary to his characteristically muted tonal palette, hoping it might silence criticism of his works as unfashionable and gloomy.
Meldrum came to Australia with his family in 1889, settling in Melbourne. After a long period of study and residence in Europe (1900--13) he returned to Australia, imbued with passion and ideas. He developed a theory of painting claiming it was a pure science of optical analysis. He believed tone (contrasting light and dark) to be the most important component of painting, and that it would provide the ultimate truth in representing nature. His Melbourne school of painting, established in 1917, soon proved popular but Meldrum attracted controversy throughout his career.
Madame de Tarczynska never owned the portrait. After being exhibited in Melbourne in 1922, the painting was displayed in the Meldrum family home until its acquisition by the National Gallery of Australia in 1980.

The Victorian Artists Society and Fed Square held a special activity for Seniors Week on Sunday 6 October when painters and art teachers will be painting and drawing to encourage a greater interest in art for seniors.
Formed in 1870 by a small group of artists and lay persons, the Victorian Artists Society has played and continues to play a pivotal role in art in Victoria and Australia based on a rich foundation of master artists such as Louis Buvelot, Sir Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Frederic McCubbin, Walter Withers, William Frater, Max Meldrum and Sir William Dargie.
Eileen Mackley, a Director of the Victorian Artists Society said, taking the 'live' painting class at Fed Square is aimed at providing people an opportunity to see what is involved in taking up painting or drawing and a chance to have a discussion with both teachers and painters.
\Whilst formed in 1870, the Victorian Artists Society maintains an active painting and drawing schedule for artists including outdoor painting where artists can work, enjoy and share their creative activity in a group.
"Our painting classes cater to art students at all levels over a wide range of mediums including: Oil, Pastel, Watercolour, Acrylic and Gouache. Lessons cover a range of Drawing Technique, Portraiture and Landscape. Sculpture classes are also available."
Ms. Mackley said taking the art class to Fed Square, one of the most visited and public areas of Melbourne during Seniors Week is also part of the Victorian Artists Society agenda to promote the social aspects of being involved in creative activities.
Fed Square with its very essence of reflecting Australia's Federation is a poignant space to stage the Brushstrokes of History with the Victorian Artists Society's foundation members pioneering Australian painting in the era of Australia's Federation.

As much meditation as song, I wrote this whilst staying with my grandmother shortly before her death of old age. A lifelong landscape painter closely associated with an Australian school of tonal impressionism influenced by Max Meldrum, Jessie introduced me at an early age to Dostoevsky, Jung, Marx, Russian folk medicine, Shakespeare and Picasso. During that final visit our talks ranged far and wide. Between talks she slept and I wrote these lines.
