for Lorne: Archie Colquhoun"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Archie Colquhoun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When old photos of Lorne pop up on the Lorne Facebook Page, they are usually greeted with a cloud of jogged memories and \u201cI remember when\u2019s\u201d from those with Lorne blood coursing in their veins.\u00a0 The same, however, could be said of the watercolour and oil works of our multiple coastal artists\u2014Susan Sutton comes immediately to mind, though these are rarely, if ever, shown\u2014except in art exhibitions.\u00a0 Further, any artwork that <u>is<\/u> seen is primarily contemporary, but what of artists from Lorne\u2019s earlier days\u2014before the advent of the beach cabana?<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, I remembered Archie!<\/p>\n<p>When I was very young in the decade immediately following the end of WWII, I vividly remember watching \u2018Archie\u2019 as he sat at his easel amid the then-exuberant marram grass that flourished on a much larger and longer Erskine Point, painting the expansive coast that stretched past Eastern View [no houses] to the Airey\u2019s lighthouse.<\/p>\n<p>Although I must have been no older than five or six, I remember watching for him from my Gran\u2019s balcony, and as soon as I saw him setting up his easel and canvas stool, I would badger Mum or Gran to take me across the swing bridge to sit in the sand by his side and marvel at how he could translate the \u2018actual\u2019 view onto his canvas and make it spring to life.\u00a0 I also remember scoring a cuppa from the thermos of tea at his side, and that he would kindly invite me to share his Edinburgh shortbreads from a cake tin with a Swiss alpine scene on the lid.<\/p>\n<p>Although I never tired of watching Archie paint from his favourite sheltered spot amid the tussocks near the Swing Bridge, I don\u2019t think my artistic skills could have impressed him much, because although he would occasionally give me a brush, a sketch-It pad, and encourage me to \u2018have a go\u2019, it must have been very obvious to him that this was no artistic genius at his side.<\/p>\n<p>While researching \u2018Archie\u2019&#8230; correctly, Archibald Douglas Colquhoun [phonetically pronounced Ca\u2019hoon] &#8230; and his equally talented painter wife, Amalie [Millie], I discovered that he had studied under Frederick McCubbin and been mentored by Max Meldrum, the founder of an Australian art movement called \u201c<em>tonal realism<\/em>\u201d and one of Australia\u2019s most prominent artists during the inter-war years of the 1920s and 1930s.<\/p>\n<p>The Meldrumites, as they were called: <em>\u201c&#8230; <\/em><em>favoured painting in adverse weather conditions and would often set out in a group in the early morning or towards evening in search of fog and wintry wet surfaces, as these, Max insisted, produced stronger spatial effects.<\/em><em>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 [see: <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/eev7csms\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/eev7csms<\/a>].\u00a0 Max was a close friend of my father\u2019s parents and was a frequent guest at \u201cThe Ruff\u201d, their ramshackle self-build at Chum Creek near Healesville, where he painted many of his notable \u2018tonal\u2019 landscapes, though he was better known for his portraits and won the Archibald Prize twice in 1939 and 1940.\u00a0 Our family has been fortunate to share quite a collection of \u2018Meldrums\u2019, with several once gracing my parents\u2019 walls.<\/p>\n<p>When I recently discovered \u2018my\u2019 Archie\u2019s connection with Meldrum, I couldn\u2019t help but notice the similarity in artistic style between Archie\u2019s misty views of Big Hill and Eastern View and my memory of Meldrum\u2019s Healesville landscapes hanging on our walls!<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in seeing more of the Colquhouns\u2019 work\u2014pieces displayed in the National Gallery of Australia, the State galleries of New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia, as well as many regional galleries\u2014visit <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mrdx8b6x\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mrdx8b6x<\/a>. \u00a0To whet your appetite to explore, here are a few examples of Archie\u2019s works.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure you will enjoy the \u2018uncluttered\u2019 views!<\/p>\n<p>These few examples of his work speak to a gentler, less angry, less strident Australia, an Australia that our parents and grandparents fought and died to leave for us, yet an Australia so many today seem hell-bent to destroy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Agar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Feature Writer<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A word from the chairman<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hello<\/p>\n<p>Stribling Reserve was a sea of pink last Saturday as Lorne\u2019s finest came out to watch cricket, celebrate, listen to our inspiring Cam Nugent, and raise funds for the McGrath Foundation for cancer research on the annual Pink Stumps Day. \u00a0It was a most enjoyable day with some thoughtfully selected outfits and lots of laughter and chatter. \u00a0Nearly $6,800 was raised for the McGrath Foundation. \u00a0Well done to the organisers and generous attendees.<\/p>\n<p>It was also the annual Country Cup match between Lorne and Apollo Bay with a top of the ladder spot at stake. \u00a0Unfortunately, it did not go to the fairytale script for Lorne with the Bay winning in convincing style. \u00a0In the spirit of the day, the winner of the Man of the Match award, Jack Pascoe, Apollo Bay gun batsman, generously donated his $300 prize money to the McGrath Foundation. \u00a0Well done Jack!<\/p>\n<p>With one game to go before finals, Lorne sits comfortably in third spot but will need to play some quality cricket to be there for the \u201clast dance\u201d and avenge last year\u2019s one run, last ball loss. \u00a0Sorry to bring that up boys!<\/p>\n<p>******<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday the Aquatic Club took over its temporary home at the Surf Club after a couple of false starts. \u00a0About 180 members and guests turned up, somewhat overwhelming the bar staff! \u00a0They were assured that this was a combination of perfect weather, curiosity to check out the venue, and an opportunity to catch up with friends after a three-week hiatus, and they should not be gearing up for this number every week. \u00a0We will leave it a little longer before we change the sign on the building (Ha Ha).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile at Point Grey, work is well underway on the removal of asbestos and demolition, silencing the naysayers who predicted that the site would be fenced and left in abeyance for months. \u00a0We have been assured by the builders and architects that the demolition of the Co-op building will be carefully done to salvage materials that can be re-used in the recreated building. \u00a0All looking good so far!<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<p>As Lorne gets back to some normality after a summer punctuated by bushfire risk, flooding and visitor reluctance, it is a time to stress the importance of supporting our local businesses. \u00a0Can you imagine Lorne without a bookshop, a pharmacy or range of clothing outlets? \u00a0It\u2019s unthinkable, but as long as people go to the metropolis to shop, or shop on-line, the economic impact is felt by our local traders. \u00a0This of course does not apply to wine, because if people stopped buying wine on-line the Post Office would have nothing to do!<\/p>\n<p>And what about our supermarket? \u00a0It must be the best-stocked supermarket anywhere, with friendly and helpful staff, no self-service checkouts (thankfully) and a proud and generous supporter of our community. \u00a0Why would you not support them rather than buying from one of the big multinationals who have to truck goods into town. \u00a0Let\u2019s get rid of the \u201cyou-know-who trucks\u201d from our town. \u00a0You may be saving a few dollars, but in the long run we and our community lose. \u00a0Go local!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Lorne Ward Events
