MELBOURNE WINTER MASTERPIECES 2021
In an international exclusive, the NGV presents a major exhibition of more than 100 masterworks of French Impressionism in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), an institution renowned world-wide for its rich holdings of Impressionist paintings. Part of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition series, French Impressionism features works by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Mary Cassatt and more – including 79 works that have never-before-been exhibited in Australia. These important loans from the MFA’s collection provide a rare opportunity to see a significant grouping of Impressionist masterworks in Australia. French Impressionism charts the trajectory of the late-nineteenth century artistic movement, highlighting the key milestones and figures at the centre of this period of experimentation and revolution in modern art. Through an arresting display of paintings and works on paper that showcases the breadth of the movement, the exhibition evokes the artistic energy and intellectual dynamism of the period by placing emphasis on the thoughts and observations of the artists themselves, revealing the social connections, artistic influences and personal relationships that united the group of radical practitioners at the centre of this new art movement.
Presented thematically across ten sections, the exhibition opens with early works by Monet and his forebears, Eugène Boudin and painters of the Barbizon School, illustrating their profound influence on Monet’s use of the then radical method of painting outdoors en plein air (‘in the open air’) to capture changing conditions in nature. The growth of the movement in subsequent decades is mapped through an exploration of the favoured subjects and ideas of the Impressionists. Moving through an immersive exhibition design, audiences experience the hallmarks of Impressionism, including distinctive brushwork, unique points of view, arresting use of colour, as well as places dear to the artists, such as Paris, Fontainebleau Forest, Pontoise, Giverny, the Normandy coast and the South of France. Many artists also placed equal weight on recording movement and change in urban and domestic realms. Still life paintings, intimate interiors and street scenes by such artists as Manet, Renoir and Gustave Caillebotte also feature. These broader themes are punctuated by focused sections of the exhibition that examine significant moments and characteristics in the practices of a selection of artists, including Renoir and his experimentation with pictorial effects in the 1880s, as well as Pissarro and his role as mentor to a number of other artists.
An exhibition highlight is a breathtaking display of sixteen canvases by Claude Monet, in an immersive arrangement reminiscent of the distinctive, oval gallery designed for his famous Water Lilies at the Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris, between 1922 and his death in 1926. Painted over a thirty-year period, these paintings depict many of Monet’s most beloved scenes of nature in Argenteuil, the Normandy coast, the Mediterranean coast and his extraordinary garden in Giverny. Together, these paintings demonstrate the full scope of the artist’s immeasurable contribution to the Impressionist movement. MFA Boston’s significant collection of French Impressionism benefited from the collecting efforts of individual Bostonians, some of whom visited the artists in France during the movement’s height. Mary Cassatt, an American-born artist integral to the French Impressionist movement and whose work is featured in the exhibition, advocated among her fellow Americans for their patronage of her French colleagues, ensuring that many great Impressionist paintings found their way into important American collections.

Compello Festival of Cars Show

DATE: Sunday, April 18, 2021 0900 am- 0200 pm
LOCATION: 1 Cochranes Rd, Moorabbin VIC 3189, Australia
WEBSITE: https://www.facebook.com/events/2475270522782386

TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/.../compello-festival-of...
On April 18th, Melbourne will experience one of the top motor shows in Australia organised by the prestigious car club, The Compello Club. The Compello Festival Of Cars 2021 motor show, like no other in Melbourne, is set to bring together like minded car enthusiasts from all levels of backgrounds and incomes appreciating Melbourne’s finest cars.
The first official Compello Festival of Cars 2021 will feature 150 vehicles, 50 exhibitors, 25 booths offering aftermarket accessories, live entertainment and Stomping Ground Brewery Co will be there to quench the thirst. Set to transform a 4000sqm warehouse facility, this will become one of the largest motor shows post Covid-19, helping to facilitate small businesses to start flourishing and thriving back up again as restrictions begin easing off in the City of Melbourne.
Created by The Compello Club, one of Australia’s SuperCar, Sports Cars and Prestige Car Club, this will be a magnificent display of SuperCars, Sports Cars, Modified and Tuned Cars from all around Melbourne. “There is no other show like this in Melbourne and we are car fans with no outlet and so here we are” says Craig Phinn, one of the club Founders. “We are bringing like minded people together from all levels of backgrounds and incomes” says Mr. Phinn. This festival will help reel in much needed exposure for businesses to rebuild post Covid-19. Mr.Phinn adds “All other events run by larger companies have been canceled and have now given 2022 dates for their events, but we are a small team and being flexible, we are taking on the risk that restrictions would not change. With this we are able to provide exposure in a market that is still closed”.
With a “If you love it, we love it” club ethos, The Compello Club has grown exponentially since its inception. Members of this club display strong camaraderie and have been aiding each other during this pandemic period especially with valuable mental health support. “We are hoping to make this Festival of Cars an annual event plus we run monthly car meets and track events as well” said Mr. Phinn. “We are excited to see how this festival will bring people together and appreciate cars post Covid-19” says Bryron Mark Paulus, one of the club Founders. Mr. Paulus also adds “We are showcasing a variety of cars from Supercars, Sports, Prestige and Japanese, the Compello way of diversity and love for all cars”.
The Compello Club hosts a number of car meets, track events, annual SuperYacht party and soon to be an annual Festival of Cars. The club includes members from diverse backgrounds who appreciate the joys of motoring. This festival of cars is a testament that even during a time of global instability, with a supportive group of people coming together, it will bring a strong positive impact to the community.

​National Gallery of Victoria
invites you to
She-Oak And Sunlight Australian Impressionism

DATES: 2 Apr – 22 Aug Open 10am–5pm daily
LOCATION: #NGV Australia, The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia
Federation Square, Ground Level
WEBSITE: https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/she-oak-and-sunlight/
TICKETS: https://connect.ngv.vic.gov.au/40642
She-Oak and Sunlight: Australian Impressionism is a large-scale exhibition of more than 250 artworks drawn from major public and private collections around Australia, including the NGV Collection. Featuring some of the most widely recognisable and celebrated works by Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, Jane Sutherland, Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, Clara Southern, John Russell and E. Phillips Fox, the exhibition also brings to light lesser-known paintings by Iso Rae, May Vale, Jane Price and Ina Gregory. She-Oak and Sunlight presents these works in new and surprising contexts, exploring the impact of personal relationships, international influences and the importance of place on the trajectory of the movement. Highlights from the exhibition include Tom Roberts’s iconic Shearing the rams, 1890, which depicts sheep shearers plying their trade in a timber shearing shed, and Clara Southern’s An old bee farm, Warrandyte, c.1900, a nostalgic vision of the landscape, painted in a soft palette of twilight tones. Following a complex conservation treatment, visitors are also able to appreciate the newly vivid colours of the Hawkesbury River as depicted in Arthur Streeton’s The purple noon’s transparent might, 1896.
She-Oak and Sunlight charts the creative exchanges between the movement’s leading figures in Australia, by presenting artworks in thought provoking groups and pairings. The exhibition also considers the broader global context, personal relationships and artistic synergies of Australian Impressionists and those working internationally, juxtaposing Australian artworks with those by Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, James Abbott McNeill Whistler and others drawn from the NGV Collection. She-Oak and Sunlight: Australian Impressionism is guest curated by Dr Anne Gray AM with the NGV Australian Art Department.
