Ep.237 Amanda Coulson has worked for three decades as a scholar, critic, curator and cultural producer, having collaborated with artists and institutions, private and corporate colleagues, in the US, Europe, and various sites in the Caribbean. A dual-national (Bahamas/US), she grew up between London, Nassau, and New York, where she studied for her Master's Degree at the Institute of Fine Arts (NYU) and started her career at the Old Master dealers, Wildenstein & Sons, going on to work in various art galleries in London, Paris and Milan. Developing as a writer, Coulson spent 2 years as the international Editor of tema celeste, an Italian bi-lingual contemporary art magazine, before consolidating her critical practice writing for a variety of publications (Frieze, Modern Painters, ARTNews, among others) and providing critical texts for monographic gallery and museum shows. Coulson also worked as a freelance curator in Germany, organizing several exhibitions in Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Leipzig and Vienna (Austria), with special attention to Bahamian artists. Noting a lack of platforms for galleries representing emerging art, in 2005 she co-founded the VOLTA art fairs, which take place annually in New York and Basel, Switzerland. In 2011, she was invited home to The Bahamas to be Executive Director at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB), where her focus was on increasing global awareness of the contemporary Caribbean art scene and on expanding the capacity and reach of the NAGB through a rigorous combination of capital works, collaborative projects and the building of strong inter-island, regional and international networks. She served on the Davidoff Art Initiative (now Caribbean Art Initiative) Board from 2012-2018, and on the Board of the Museums Association of the Caribbean (MAC) until she stepped down from the NAGB in 2021, after a decade at the helm. She is the founding partner at TERN, a new Nassau-based gallery operated by three Bahamian women whose aim is to support Bahamian and Caribbean artists in telling their own stories the global stage.

Joined by Mr. Kevin Farmer of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, we explore identity, cultural preservation, and the journey of Caribbean museums from colonial-era institutions to centers that shape national consciousness and safeguard heritage. Mr. Farmer's insights illuminate the evolution of Caribbean museums, spotlighting their crucial role in giving voice to marginalized communities and confronting complex histories within their walls. We capture the essence of a collective awakening, when cultural policies and spaces like the National Art Gallery in Jamaica emerge, nurturing local talent and innovation, as well as national journeys to define identity through cultural institutions. We also tackle global resonance, the repatriation of artifacts, to discuss the wider challenges of decolonizing archaeology. From this episode, gain a richer appreciation for the power of museums in both reflecting and shaping our collective memory and identity.Kevin Farmer is currently Deputy Director of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society (BMHS).

Alan Brooks talk about growing up in the south, finding your lane to create within your community, and working through the process of overcoming fear of failure.

In this inspirational episode, Canadian artist and conservation activist Camille Myles encourages us to step out of our comfort zones, put ourselves out there, and trust in our capabilities. By embracing bravery and a healthy amount of risk-taking, Camille has paved the way forward in her art career. Here's what we discuss:1. Why Camille is passionate about pursuing a multi-disciplinary art career, and the ways in which experimentation benefits her work.2. What inspired Camille to bridge the gap between visual art and conservation work in her creative practice.3. The importance of making brave choices (even if they feel scary!) and taking leaps of faith in our art careers.4. What we can learn from trusting ourselves on a deeper level, both personally and professionally.About Camille:Camille Myles is a French-Canadian multi-disciplinary contemporary artist and conservation activist exploring imagery that is grounded in our identity and reflects our impacts on the environment.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins us from Lviv, along with The Times of Israel Editor David Horovitz and host Amanda Borschel-Dan. Berman, as a religiously observant journalist, shares his experiences attending services in Lviv for Rosh Hodesh (the new month) and Shabbat. He explains how the Jewish community is now a sanctuary for Jews and non-Jews seeking refuge. Late last week, Berman visited Lviv's National Art Gallery, Ukraine's leading art museum, which is now being used as a volunteer center for distributing medical supplies. We'll hear a clip of a conversation he had with Mark Fetsych, head of oncology at a local hospital before the invasion. Berman also spoke with the governor of the Lviv region, Maksym Kozytskyy. He is a civilian with no military experience but is now in charge of his region's defenses. We hear about a very specific request he has for Israel. Finally, Horovitz appraises our listeners of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's past few days of travel -- to Moscow and Berlin -- and other conversations he is having with world leaders including France's Emanuel Macron and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Israel is now in the spotlight as a potential peacemaker, but is that actually a good spot for the Jewish state to be in? Discussed articles include: Live Blog March 6, 200 Ukraine's leading art museum transforms into busy volunteer hub We need air defenses from Israel, not goodwill statements, Lviv commander tells ToI With trip to Kremlin, Bennett flies Israel into the eye of the Russia-Ukraine storm Zelensky aide says purpose of Bennett's trip to meet Putin is unclear to Kyiv Bennett returns to Israel after whirlwind trip to meet Putin, Germany's Scholz Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In A Cultural Arsenal for Democracy: The World War II Work of US Museums (University of Massachusetts Press, 2022), Dr. Ceglio argues that attempts during the war years to fit exhibition craft to the aims of social instrumentality constitute an important but forgotten moment in the field's debates over whether museums should take active stances on public issues or, to use current parlance, remain neutral. In the book, she investigates how many American museums saw engagement with wartime concerns as consistent with their vision of the museum as a social instrument. She examines how these museums worked to strike the right balance between education and patriotism, hoping to attain greater relevance. Dr. Ceglio focuses on exhibitions, which unsurprisingly served as the primary vehicle through which museums, large and small, engaged their publics with wartime topics with fare ranging from displays on the cultures of Allied nations to "living maps" that charted troop movements and exhibits on war preparedness. Dr. Ceglio chronicles debates, experiments, and collaborations from the 1930s to the immediate postwar years, investigating how museums re-envisioned the exhibition as a narrative medium and attempted to reconcile their mission with new modes of storytelling. She demonstrates how what today may seem standard museum practice—that exhibitions take explicitly narrative forms appealing to the mental, emotional, and physical— was still a novel and controversial idea to museums in the 1930s and '40s. Research for this book drew from administrative records, correspondence, and reports held by the archives of the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Art Gallery, the Newark Museum, the Rockefeller Archive Center, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Wadsworth Atheneum (Hartford), among others. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In A Cultural Arsenal for Democracy: The World War II Work of US Museums (University of Massachusetts Press, 2022), Dr. Ceglio argues that attempts during the war years to fit exhibition craft to the aims of social instrumentality constitute an important but forgotten moment in the field's debates over whether museums should take active stances on public issues or, to use current parlance, remain neutral. In the book, she investigates how many American museums saw engagement with wartime concerns as consistent with their vision of the museum as a social instrument. She examines how these museums worked to strike the right balance between education and patriotism, hoping to attain greater relevance. Dr. Ceglio focuses on exhibitions, which unsurprisingly served as the primary vehicle through which museums, large and small, engaged their publics with wartime topics with fare ranging from displays on the cultures of Allied nations to "living maps" that charted troop movements and exhibits on war preparedness. Dr. Ceglio chronicles debates, experiments, and collaborations from the 1930s to the immediate postwar years, investigating how museums re-envisioned the exhibition as a narrative medium and attempted to reconcile their mission with new modes of storytelling. She demonstrates how what today may seem standard museum practice—that exhibitions take explicitly narrative forms appealing to the mental, emotional, and physical— was still a novel and controversial idea to museums in the 1930s and '40s. Research for this book drew from administrative records, correspondence, and reports held by the archives of the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Art Gallery, the Newark Museum, the Rockefeller Archive Center, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Wadsworth Atheneum (Hartford), among others.

This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. Hans Heysen and Nora Heysen are Australia's most well-known father-daughter artistic duo. In this episode, Professor Speck explores the letters written to each other from the time Nora moved to London in 1934 until Hans Heysen died in 1968. During that time Nora Heysen won the Archibald Prize, was appointed an official war artist, fell in love with a married man, Robert Black, with whom she lived with and eventually married, relocated to Sydney, and travelled extensively to the Pacific. Hans Heysen was knighted, sat on the board of the National Art Gallery of South Australia and was connected to leading figures in the Australian art world. The letters take readers into these events, life at The Cedars, Sallie Heysen's role there, and the art itself.

This is part 2 of a four-part series put together by Centrum and Cleo Woelfle-Erskine and July Hazard to ask “what is queer ecology?” of climate scientists, ecologists, choreographers, poets, and creatives who each share unique perspectives on how queer and trans identities can and do play important roles in shifting the way we think about the sciences and our relations with the more-than-human. This project is part of Woelfle-Erskine and Hazard’s 2019-2020 Centrum Northwest Heritage residencies, made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts. For this conversation, Woelfle-Erskine and Hazard meet up with Melecio Estrella and Andrew Jones to talk about the ways their practices in the performing arts and earth sciences intersect with queer ecologies. We learn about the processes and thoughts that have brought vertical dance, activism, and Earth science together and together the group starts to outline new possibilities for understanding how queerness and queer identities are integral to relations with the human and non-human. Melecio Estrella has been a Bay Area performing artist, director, and teacher for the past 19 years. He is co-artistic director of Fog Beast, artistic director of BANDALOOP, and a member of the Joe Goode Performance Group since 2004. Recent notable directorial engagements include the opening of The Momentary at Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, AK (Feb. 2020), The National Art Gallery of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur (2019), The Big Reveal at the Asian Art Museum of SF (2019), Art and About in Sydney Australia (2018), and the JFK Centennial Celebration at The Kennedy Center (2017). Andrew Jones is an Earth scientist who works at the interface of human and environmental systems. His research uses quantitative models and data analysis to understand climate change and human-Earth system interactions at decision-relevant scales. He also collaborates with social scientists and interacts closely with stakeholders to understand how science can effectively provide actionable insight into strategies for increasing resilience of energy water, food, and urban systems. Andrew is an Adjunct Professor in the Energy and Resources Group at UC Berkeley where he teaches courses on the intersection of science of and society. He has participated in a number of science-art collaborations over the years including The Climate Music Project and several dance-theatre works with performance group Fog Beast. He also helped to organize and facilitate a series of thematic residencies at Headlands Center for the Arts at the intersection of artistic practice, scientific practice, and climate equity.

Claudette Dean Expressing the Inexpressible Through Color, Form, and Word Natural mystic and visionary, Claudette Dean, has been practicing as a visual artist, poet, and author. Her spiritually based work expresses universal themes such as love, light, and connection, and is often inspired by nature. Issues of identity and womanhood are also often at the forefront of her work. Having successfully practiced as a painter and mixed media artist since the early 1990’s, her portfolio includes four solo exhibitions, numerous group shows both national and international, an award for excellence in Fine Art from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, and inclusion in most major art collections in the Bahamas, including the National Collection. In 2010, Claudette first added the written and spoken word to her arsenal of creativity when she was prompted to write a series of love poems to the Divine. These poems are featured in her book, Inner Sanctum, along with original paintings from her second solo exhibition. She went on to write and perform Resurrection, a performance art video which was featured at The National Art Gallery in their 6th National Exhibition. Then in 2018, she published her first novel, Smelling Roses - A Tale of Connection and Transformation. Claudette considers her journey to self discovery through her art, as most notable, and the greatest measure of her success, those who’ve mentioned being touched by her work. In her own words: “I create because it is my place of connection. Embracing the unknown, I continue exploring and expressing from this place of connection as I follow the Golden Thread. Through the process, I discover my gifts, and through the work, I share them. And the journey continues.” In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, Claudette works from her rebuilt home studio and office, and resides with husband, Donald Dean, on the island of Grand Bahama.

A Habit – One Hour – a More Fulfilling Life When, in your working week, do you give yourself a break to do something very different? To be kind to yourself, to take a little me-time out of your daily routine, possibly “grind” if you are working from home and trying to balance work and family. Do you feel fatigued, exhausted? Weary may be a better word to describe how you feel? You have not been out socializing since whenever, and even if you have, it feels regimented; make a booking, obey the rules, you must have this, you cannot do that, leave now, even though you are not ready to go, as you were just starting to unwind a little. Is that you? It certainly was me! Until I discovered this straightforward suggestion in Julia Cameron’s book ‘The Artist Date’. The book was introduced to me by Eve Earley on ‘The Artist Date Program’ she hosts here in Ireland. I have spoken to you before about the power of ‘morning pages’ and how they can set you up for a great and productive day. Now, let me introduce you to what Julia Cameron calls ‘Artist Dates’. It’s a very simple idea (like all good ideas); once a week, you set aside an hour or two just for yourself and do something creative. Things I have done over the last year include: Visiting the bandstand in the Phoenix Park (last time there was as a child) Spend some time in the National Art Gallery or any other Gallery Sit in the sun in Saint Stephens Green Libraries are a great place to go (as you are surrounded by people quietly reading and studying, it will rub off on you) Go to a movie (on your own) Take a train journey Walk on a beach or by a Lake Take a walk through the fields Find a quiet place and just sit and read You will say I have not got the time; make an effort for your mental health and those around you. You will return to base refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to have more ‘Artists Dates’; please be sure to book a time in your calendar, make it a habit. The Positive Outcome: You are likely to become less stressed; you will renew your creativity for whatever, taking photographs, sketching, doing jigsaws, walking (without devices), fishing, reading, it does not matter what you do, just enjoy the me-time. P.S. There is no need to announce your plan to the world or to explain what you were doing to your nearest and dearest. (This is for you). Be a little more generous to yourself, and you will find your quality of life and the lives of those around you enhanced in numerous ways, in the coming months and years. I’d love to know what works for you? By Executive Coach Andrew Keogh of Aristo.ie

Claudette Dean was born in 1954 and raised on the beautiful north shore of Lake Huron in Blind River, Ontario, Canada. In 1975, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Literature from the University of Windsor. She spent the summer of '75 continuing her studies at The University of Nice, France, and it was while studying there, that she first sensed an intuitive pull towards the visual arts—a direction which she was not yet ready to embark upon. After living and working in Toronto, and then in Montreal, in 1979 Claudette left the shores of her native land and crossed the ocean to marry her fiancee, Donald, and make The Bahamas her new home. Settling into her new life, she worked as a French teacher, and in 1982 gave birth to her son, Donald Jr. She spent the next eleven years owning and operating two local successful businesses. At a time in her life when the status quo was no longer enough, and as a search for Self intensified, the visual arts came back into focus. She headed into the waters of creativity and soon found herself joyfully swept up in the flow. Claudette totally devoted herself to her craft. Through focus, dedication, and consistent studio work—along with the mentorship of noted Bahamian artist and sculptor Antonius Roberts, and the support of family and friends—a successful career as an artist ensued. Beginning in the early 1990s, her voyage has encompassed four solo exhibitions, countless group and juried shows on both national and international levels, an award for Excellence in the Realm of Fine Art from the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and the pleasure of seeing her work in the most prestigious collections at home and abroad, including The National Collection of The Bahamas. In 2005, Dr. Erica M. James, then Director of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas wrote: “Claudette Dean paints from the spirit, what she believes in that moment is true… for her, and artists like her, art can become a medium in and of itself. The process of art making can initiate a spiritual transformation on the part of the artist, and the potential also exists for this spirit to move in the viewer as they engage the work.”Claudette DeanThe process of art making did indeed initiate spiritual transformation on the part of the artist—and Claudette considers the greatest measure of her success to be those who have expressed being moved by the transformational spirit of her work. Beginning in the early 1990s, she navigated the waters of creativity primarily as a painter and mixed media artist. In 2010, acting upon an intuitive prompt, she wrote a series of poems to compliment a body of work for her second solo exhibition. The poems—love poems to the divine—and the paintings, are featured in a book named for this exhibition, Inner Sanctum. Claudette subsequently broadened her sights to include the written and spoken word, and adjusted her compass accordingly. The Circles of Life, a personal essay describing her spiritual awakening, was selected for publication in the 2012 edition of WomanSpeak—A Journal of Literature and Art by Caribbean Woman—a publication which from its 4th volume in 1999, has featured Claudette’s artwork, and has selected her paintings for the covers of the 2010 and 2014 editions. She went on to write and perform Resurrection, a performance art video which was shown at the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas in their 6th National Exhibition, Kingdom Come. The producer of the video, David Mackey of Mackeymedia.com, described the video as Claudette’s Magnus Opus and wrote: “Seeing Claudette's work, one can't help but conclude that she is spiritually connected to unwritten laws that foster harmonious coexistence free from the superficial veils of delusion that mask our true selves."In 2016, Claudette joined a local writers group. A story she wrote in response to a prompt given at one of the meetings would, over the next two years, spill out into a full blown novel. In 2018, with the publication of Smelling Roses––A Tale of Connection and Transformation, Claudette became an author. “Claudette Dean’s inspirational artistry now manifests itself in this intriguing book written in her unique style. A very plausible story, it is interspersed with intuited messages of Universal truth illuminating The Way. Smelling Roses is a beautiful thought-provoking work from a spiritually guided writer.” — Barbara R.H. Chester, founder of the Grand Bahama LabyrinthIn Claudette's own words, “Embracing the unknown, I continue exploring and expressing from my place of connection as I follow the Golden Thread. Through the process, I discover my gifts, and through the work, I share them. And the journey continues.”In the wake of Hurricane Dorian, Claudette works from her rebuilt home studio and office, and resides with husband, Donald Dean, on the island of Grand Bahama. www.claudettedean.com

The so-called “discovery” of the world by European navigators in the XV century is the event that defines the beginning of the historical process known as colonialism, a system marked by the exploitation of labor and expropriation of land that is still present in different forms in the international geopolitical arena. In this episode, the first of a small series, we will discuss how these colonial structures are present in modern times and how they are reflected in the Covid-19 crisis we currently live. Our attention will focus on the Navajo Nation and the Republic of Zimbabwe. Our guests today are Dr. Farina King, a citizen of the Navajo Nation and an Assistant Professor of History as well as an affiliated faculty of Cherokee and Indigenous Studies at Northeastern State University and author of The Earth Memory Compass: Diné Landscapes and Education in the Twentieth Century; and Tinashe Goronga, a physician from Zimbabwe who is focused on social medicine, public health, and health equity. Tinashe is also member of the Global Campaign Against Racism’s, Zimbabwe chapter. ** This episode was recorded on July 10th, the data presented refers back to that moment and might have changed by now.

Ahmad Fuad Osman is one of Malaysia’s most interesting contemporary artists, who has been creating work since the early 1990s. His work draws on Malay and Malaysian culture, history and sociopolitical events, with a lot of emphasis on research. A mid-career survey of Fuad’s work, called “At the end of the day even art is not important”, is being held at the National Art Gallery, which looks at the past 30 years of his art. So, we sit down with Fuad and exhibition curator Shabbir Hussain Mustafa, to reflect on Fuad’s journey as an artist thus far, what lies ahead, and why it is so important for an artist to provide sociopolitical commentary.

Professor Speck explores how this dynamic motivated her interest in the Heysen letters to each other written from the time Nora moved to London in 1934 until Hans Heysen died in 1968. During that time Nora Heysen won the Archibald Prize, was appointed an official war artist, fell in love with a married man, Robert Black, with whom she lived with and eventually married, relocated to Sydney, and travelled extensively to the Pacific. Hans Heysen was knighted, sat on the board of the National Art Gallery of South Australia and was well connected to leading figures in the Australian art world. The letters take readers into these events, life at The Cedars and Sallie Heysen’s role there, and the art itself. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. For upcoming events visit: history.sa.gov.au/whats-on/events/

We get all up in the art on this episode. Matt visited the National Art Gallery in beautiful Ottawa, ON. We get a walkthrough, you get one of our most cynical takes yet. From First Nations, Métis & Cree artwork, to the paintings of the iconic group of seven, we just can’t wrap our heads around the colonial couplings found in the gallery. Luckily, Emily Carr saved us from total despair. That is, until we try to make sense of postmodern art. It’s like finding lost money in your jacket pocket: confusing. Really confusing.   To follow along as we dissect some art, check-out the pics Matt took while on his tour: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j_AY8KzuF8S5u1rruQovVQsuA-Gl1s2T?usp=sharing   We thank Evil Can Evil for kindly allowing us to play their songs: Winter Rider, Power, Love & Hate, and I’m Alive. Blues filtered through a 1970s' distortion, with a hint of 1960s' rock. A voice full of blues and smoke. Drums that smash the permafrost. A bass that moves snowdrifts. Guitars that lash stronger than a boreal wind. The strength of the North, with the soul of blues and the energy of rock. Evil Can Evil, the nordic rock's ambassadors. Evil Can Evil is a Quebec City quartet founded in 2007. The band is made up of: JF, vocalist and guitarist, Math, drummer, Manuel, bassist and Seb, rhythm guitar. Through stories of dangerous women, broken hearts, identity crises, territorial dispossession and courageous snow plows, Evil Can Evil builds a universe breathing a new life into the tired stoner rock genre. Stoner rock is dead, hail nordic rock. If Evil Can Evil doesn't make you want to dance, then you're more frozen than a mammoth prisoner of the Siberian soil.

Lambert’s best-known bush image, Across the blac k soil plains was inspired by his memories of horse teams hauling heavily laden wool wagons across the bare, miry, flat lands of Snakes Plain from Warren to the railway station at Nevertire. He encountered this landscape while droving sheep in the 1890s and was reminded of it during a visit to Warren in 1899. Lambert suggested that Jim Smith, a known identity of the district, was the model for the teamster walking beside the wool wagon and urging the horses onwards (ML MSS A1811, p.54). It has also been claimed that the teamster was Luke Rollins from Moree, and Henry Sharkey, who carried a record load from Louth to Bourke. By portraying the rhythmic rise and fall of the horses’ heads and the tilt of the wagon, Lambert created a sense of movement in his image. The horses strain as they pull the load through the mud which sticks to their hoofs like glue, with the leader leaning into the chains to pull others into line. He dramatised the scene by placing the horses in silhouette against the sky and using the chiaroscuro of light and dark, showing the light making its way through the billowing clouds and illuminating the horses’ backs. In adopting a low viewpoint Lambert also made the team dominate the image. Apart from the blue in the sky the painting is a harmony of tonally balanced browns, beiges and white. Placing the large canvas diagonally across the garden shed or washhouse at his mother’s home in the Sydney suburb of Hornsby, Lambert began to work on it. He had made colour notes of the landscape, as well as sketches of Jim Smith’s team of horses while staying at Meryon in about 1895–6 (ML MSS A1811, p.17). He commented that: As a boy in the bush I did much work with draft [sic] horses ... [One] called Barney had such fine action and such imposing carriage ... and possibly what knowledge I displayed in connection with horses in ‘Black Soil Plains’ originated with my association with this exceptionally fine animal (ML MSS A1811, pp.54–5). He later scoured the area around his mother’s home for further models for the horses, and for each one in the team he made two or three oil studies (ML MSS A1811, pp.54–5). The painting echoes the spirit of a poem by the Scottish–Australian narrative poet and horseman, Will Ogilvie, ‘How the Fire Queen crossed the swamp’. This poem, published in Ogilivie’s first collection, Fair girls and gray horses (Sydney, 1898), included the lines: With straining muscles and tightened chains – sixteen pulling like one; With jingling harness and droning wheels and bare hoofs’ rhythmic tramp, With creaking timbers and lurching load the Fire Queen faced the swamp! Across the black soil plains inspired other poems such as ‘Across the black soil plains’ by ‘Mousquetaire’ (Gordon Tidy), which was published in the Bulletin , 30 October 1902 and was illustrated by Lambert’s painting. O nobly manned must be the land, and nobly horsed as well, Has such a sight as this to show, such story has to tell, The teamster who so sternly strides, the team so strongly strains Till stride and strength be come at length across the Black Soil Plains The picture received an enthusiastic response from contemporary critics. The Sydney Morning Herald wrote on 18 August 1899 ‘In this long narrow canvas the young artist paints with astonishing vigour and sense of movement ... in every conceivable attitude the horses tug and strain at the heavy load.’ It was purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales at the New South Wales Society of Artists exhibition in 1899 and was subsequently awarded the 1899 Wynne Prize for landscape painting. More critical of his own work than many others, Lambert wrotein the Australian Magazine , 18 September 1899: It is strong, ‘masculine’ if you like; the horses are well drawn and painted, the movement and action are ‘all there,’ the teamster (and his dog) are realistic, the sky is good, the colour is harmonious, the subject is popular, and the picture has been purchased for the National Art Gallery – what more can we say? This: that when G.W. Lambert has studied and worked hard for a few more years, both here and abroad (as we hope he will) – well, then he may paint the ‘picture of the year’. The painting inspired variations in other media such as Tom Woodman’s glass painting Load of wool 1940, at the Carinda Hotel, New South Wales, as well as a plaster version. About 1855 Edward Roper painted a landscape entitled Bringing down the wool from a Murray station (National Library of Australia, Canberra), which included a bullock team with a load of wool. Frank Mahony also treated the subject of a wool wagon several times. These images have none of the action or drama of Lambert’s painting, nor the spirit of place. Out of the particular and the personal Lambert created an enduring icon conveying the toil of man and horse and their relationship with the land.
