PROVENANCE
Estate of Margaret & John Oakley, Lower Hutt
This watercolour is painted from the North side of Mosman
looking across Sydney Harbour to the Botanical Gardens &
Sydney City.
The work also illustrates The Garden Palace, a large, purposebuilt exhibition building constructed to house the Sydney
International Exhibition in 1879. It was designed by James Barnet
and constructed by John Young. A reworking of London's Crystal
Palace, the plan for the Garden Palace was similar to that of
a large cathedral, having a long hall with lower aisle on either
side, like a nave, and a transept of similar form, each terminating
in towers and meeting beneath a central dome. The Garden
Palace was sited at what is today the south western end of
the Royal Botanic Gardens (although at the time it was built it
occupied land that was outside the Gardens). It was constructed
primarily from timber, which ensured its complete destruction
when engulfed by fire in the early morning of September 22,
1882. The only extant remains of the Garden Palace are its
carved Sydney sandstone gateposts and wrought iron gates,
located on the Macquarie Street entrance to the Royal Botanical
Gardens.

PROVENANCE
by descent for the McLean Family, Dunedin
Private collection, Canterbury
EXHIBITED
Auckland City Art Gallery, Frances Hodgkins and Her Circle,
June 1954, no. 19, entitled 'Landscape'.
In their early years it was Isabel, not her younger sister Frances
that was regarded by Dunedin authorities and their father, William
Matthew Hodgkins as the promising painter whom had inherited
her fathers talent. He gave Isabel lessons, took her with him on
sketching excursions and introduced her to the local Art Club.
Isabel began exhibiting at a young age, and by the age of 20
had firmly established her reputation in the local Otago arts
community.
In 1893 married Wellington solicitor and later parliamentarian
Will Field. Her artistic output dwindled as such, although from
time to time she would resume painting, often with great success
and the support of her sister.

'The close-up, cropped image of the body in Night Model (watercolour,
1986), also challenges the convention of the glamorous body beautiful. The
shadows on the outside of the model's arm, concealing her face, render
the model in terms of her jagged skeleton and reinforce the brittleness of
humanity.'

(colour illustration)
This is a New Zealand landscape based on the earth and sky theme,
where man and nature are one. The three crosses reflect the importance
of religion to the New Zealander. The man lightly shadowed reaching
beyond the earth reaches to give life to the universe as well as to increase
his knowledge and status. The young Maori children are spiritually bound
to the earth and grown out of the landscape.

Eric Lee-Johnson is a modern romantic; and it is characteristic of him thatunity of mood appears to control unity of structure. The picture
space is treated as a single indivisible whole, and is completely filled with fine and nervous calligraphy, almost like a well-written nineteenth
century letter.
From passage to passage, this writing changes into a variety of manners. At least three main variations can be distinguished
The drawing knows its own mind. It is the colours that give much of the romantic suggestiveness and lack of definition. They blur and blend,
each appropriate to its place. The dark stuff of the girl's dress, the muted greens and whites of the old woman, have a proper natural warmth,
different in kind from the glowing oxidised red of the house. When looked at directly, individual colours are sometimes startlingly vivid, as in
the electric blue on the underside of the fallen stump, or the lichenous whites on the trees to the left.
In the end the colour, like the calligraphy, unifies and gives emotional tone, the sense of warm and living colours faded together into the
uniform texture of old things - worn cloth, dead leaves, wind -bitten deadwood, and unpainted weatherboards.
