Art union of pictures by Arthur Streeton. 30 prizes including Spring Pastoral [ARTHUR STREETON]
[Melbourne : J.T. Buxton, 1890].Ticket in an art union of thirty pictures, organised by Arthur Streeton and J.T. Buxton, the 1st prize being Streeton’s Spring Pastoral, valued at £100; other prizes included his Ocean at Coogee (a.k.a The Blue Pacific, which last sold at auction for over $1 million), Lavender Bay and 8 Hours Procession; the paintings were on view at Buxton’s Art Gallery, Swanston Street (the venue for the famous 9 x 5 Impression Exhibition of 1889), where 5/- tickets in the union could be purchased. Single sheet, 160 x 235 mm, printed one side only, one edge perforated, recto with photo-lithographed reproduction of Spring Pastoral, within an Art Nouveau border, letterpress ticket number 372, later annotation at left hand side reads:‘see Streeton correspondence in Mitchell Lib. - Melbourne, under Leitch.’; a very light vertical fold at centre and some mild corner wear at lower right, but overall in very good condition.
An extremely rare item of Streeton ephemera, of which we can trace no other copy in Australian collections.The Mitchell Library holds in its collection a ticket issued for Streeton’s 1897 art union of pictures - a raffle intended to raise money for Streeton’s voyage to England, but which appears not have taken place (see BUTLER, Roger, Poster Art in Australia, 1993, p 8).

The art of Arthur Streeton (With an 1890 Streeton exhibition invitation and Streeton cut signature) [ARTHUR STREETON]
Sydney : Angus & Robertson Ltd, 1919. Special number of Art in Australia. Limited edition of 1500 copies; a fair copy, but the verso of the half title has two important ephemeral items laid in:
1. an extremely early and rare Streeton exhibition invitation on thick paper, 84 x 110 mm, with photolithographed illustrated design and text, 'The honor of Mr.Walter J. Anderson's [in MS] company is requested at a private view of pictures by Mr. Arthur Streeton, Mr. C. Douglas Richardson, Mr. Charles Conder at their studios, Gordon Bdgs., Flinders Lane [between Queen and Market Streets] on Thursday, Friday and Saturday the 13, 14, 15 of March, 1890. 11 a.m - 5 p.m.' (small section of surface loss towards the left edge, otherwise in good condition.
2. a cut signature of Streeton with his 49 Murphy St. South Yarra address (the Streetons' home after their return from London in 1921), ink on thick paper, 33 x 65 mm, a few spots of foxing but clean and legible.
The invitation to the viewing of Streeton's, Conder's and Richardson's pictures is unrecorded in Australian collections. A brief review of the exhibition appeared
in the Argus on March 14 1890: 'Local artists are beginning to prepare for their autumnal exhibition, and Messrs Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton, and C. Douglas Richardson have conjointly issued invitations to a private view of their pictures in Gordon Chambers. Heidelberg seems to have furnished some attractive landscape subjects to the two first, und Mr Streeton's large canvas, upon which he has depicted a somewhat striking scene, shows a distinct advance upon his former work. It has gained in definition without any loss of strength, and is truer to nature than the pictures, or sketches, which used to leave one in doubt as to what was the specific object intended to be represented. Mr Conder remains faithful to his impressionist methods, which are least objectionable, because they are no too closely followed, in a pleasing picture of a stretch of sandy sea beach on a hot summer day. Mr Richardson introduces us to a bit of bush life, the interior of a shepherd's hut, the aged occupant of which is stretched on a bed of sickness, and is visited by the daughter of his employer...'

Single page (250 x 200 mm) with Streeton’s embossed letterhead in red (his Grange Road,Toorak address),
dated 6.Feb /937, addressed to Charles Lloyd Jones and Marion [possibly Marion Hall Best, the Sydney interior designer who later became the director of the David Jones’ Art Gallery), written in pen and signed ‘Arthur Streeton’; embellished with a pen drawing by Streeton, showing the sun in the sky with the initials ‘L.J’ (Lloyd Jones) immediately below, and a self-caricature of the artist painting en plein air, holding a palette in the shape of Australia.The letter
is a note of thanks, on behalf of Streeton and his wife, to Lloyd Jones and his wife for their having congratulated Streeton upon receiving his knighthood.The page, which was originally folded into four to fit into its envelope, is in exceptionally clean condition.
‘My dear Charley and Marion,Very many thanks for the kind thought of your note of Congratulation.The Honour is for the Art of Australia as well as for me. 30, 40 years ago I’d have got “tight” for a week, but at 70 (& afraid) am philosophic and respectable.With my love to you both & that of my wife. Arthur Streeton.’
The businessman Sir Charles Lloyd Jones (1878-1958) is recognised as one of the most important patrons of the arts in Australia in the twentieth century. He established the David Jones’ Art Gallery, was the co-founder of the journals Art in Australia and the Home, and his private collection featured numerous works by Streeton.This letter from Streeton, and the playful nature of the accompanying drawing, shows that their relationship was not only mutually respectful, but also that it was a personal friendship rather than a mere formal acquaintanceship.

[ARTHUR STREETON] Two holograph letters to a collector regarding his painting Oblivion (1892)
Two handwritten letters from Arthur Streeton to Norman Clark (Melbourne), both on Streeton’s 17 Grange Road,Toorak letterhead; octavo, [2] pp and [1] p; dated 18th November and 23rd November, 1937, respectively; accompanied by one of Streeton’s hand-addressed envelopes.
The letters are a response to an enquiry from a Melbourne collector regarding three of Streeton’s paintings in his collection. In the first letter, Streeton identifies two of the works, based on the photographs Mr Clark has sent him.The first he recognises as Oblivion, originally approximately 40 x 30 cm, painted in Sydney in 1892. Streeton remarks that he took this work to England and ‘cut it down to its present size’, selling it to ‘a Mr. Jules Fuerst’.The second he identifies as Chepstow Castle, approximately 60 x 30 cm, which Streeton states he sold to the late Mr. Walter Barnett, also remarking that ‘somehow both these paintings have returned to Australia’. (The painting Chepstow Castle is now in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales; Oblivion resides in an Australian private collection). The third painting Streeton tentatively identifies (without the benefit of
a photograph) as a Sussex view. In the second letter, Streeton expresses his eagerness to view Mr. Clark’s collection, appreciating his enthusiasm for ar t ‘in these days of Profane noise & mechanization of almost ever ything’. In a further reference to Oblivion, Streeton writes: ‘I was living with late Tom Roberts in our tents at Sirius Cove - at time your picture was painted - we posed a model in our studio for the students of our class to study from, & I did my picture which they made their studies - more when I see you & your collection.Yours sincerely,Arthur Streeton.’
Streeton’s painting Oblivion is a highly unusual and important work, dominated by a langourous, semi-naked female reclining in the foreground, with the powerful ocean menacing in the distance. Now in a private collection, it was loaned to the Mornington Peninsula Art Gallery for an exhibition in 2005.These two letters written by Streeton are of great significance because they illuminate the story of this particular painting.
