About the Item

An impressively large and attractive work by Australian artist Ronald Millar. A study in virtuoso tonal painting with wonderfully warm colours setting a mood, evocative of summer heat. This intriguing still life depicts a rambling interior with a chair facing the viewer invitingly. The whole interior suffused with warm summer tones, the deep shade of the house providing a nevertheless warm temperature to the work. Though in deep shade, we can feel the warmth of the summer. In the middle distance to the right is an open window, curtain hanging loosely in the still air, while beyond lies a garden and blue sky shimmering with heat. Signed, 'Ronald Millar', lower right. Titled, inscribed on stretcher verso: 'INTERIOR, Ronald Millar'. The work is undated but comparison to similar works of Millar's show it is about 1978. Directly from a private collection. This is the first appearance of this work on the market since original purchase from the artist.

'Beach Camp' Modernist Oil Painting Signed Anne Montgomery, 1984
By Anne Montgomery
Located in Melbourne, AU
Anne Montgomery has been considered for many years one of the women artists Australia forgot. Not any more. Along with the likes of Clarice Beckett and Lina Bryans, her work is now recognised as an important part of Australian modernism. The breadth and quality of Montgomery's work over a long lifetime has always been appreciated by other artists. As Australian women artists in the mid Century period were relegated to the fringes of the establishment, they freely explored their own vision and developed their own style. Montgomery's work richly deserves the attention it's now receiving. This work shows Montgomery's unique perception and expression of colour in the Australian landscape. Her use of oil on board gives her work a robust structure but the inclusion of ink sketching in the work gives it a delicate texture. Her foliage and grasses tickle, her fabric floats, trees dance - her landscapes are in constant movement. This painting depicts a family camping under canvas amongst the Tea...
