RELATED WORK: Eveline Syme, The Tram Line 1932, watercolour, Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum, Castlemaine We would like to thank John Keats for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work. Eveline Syme was one of the most significant artists associated with the Grosvenor School. The movement, founded by Claude Flight in 1925, was largely based on the idealisation of speed, dynamism and the rejection of the past. It embraced modern life, especially the city and its means of transport and industrialisation. This type of subject matter had barely been touched by women until now. Syme was born in England to Australian parents, grew up in Melbourne where she studied locally at Melbourne University and abroad. Attending the Grosvenor school in 1929, she went on to become one of the most established artists in this medium and biggest advocates of modern art in Australia during the 1930 and 40s.

EVELINE SYME (1888 - 1961) Mother and Children pastel on paper signed lower right: E.W.SYME 24 x 19.5cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, South Australia OTHER NOTES: In Melbourne new modes of Cubism first appeared in the early 1930s and were developed independently from the schools of Paris. At the George Bell School, students were assigned cubist exercises as homework, designed by Bell to teach students to simplify and abstract forms from real life and alert them to the integral forms of a picture. For Eveline Syme these considerations would not persuade her to become a cubist artist, but instead provided her with a means of distilling reality. The idea was to permit the intellect to overrule the eye, a principle which was important to the students in their future practice.
