Sunday Reed was the aunt of Ted Baillieu
, who in 2010 became Premier of Victoria.The Age, 19 August 2008
and included Sam Atyeo and his wife Moya Dyring
, Albert Tucker
, Sidney Nolan
, Joy Hester
, who marked Albert Tucker in 1941, John Perceval
, Laurence Hope
among others, all worked at Heide. Nolan painting his famous series of Ned Kelly
works in the living room there.
The Heide Circle is well known for the intertwined personal and professional lives of the people involved. Sunday Reed conducted affairs with a number of them, with the knowledge of her husband. Sam Atyeo had an affair with Sunday and his wife Moya Dyring had an affair with John. Art historian Janine Burke
has suggested that Sunday and Nolan had a close collaborative and inspiring relationship. She writes that Sunday helped Nolan to find his artistic voice and in the process she developed from being a studio assistant to painting sections of the works, in particular the red and white squares in The Trial. "The Kellys are Sunday and Nolan's swansong," Burke writes, "the last brilliant burst of their creative duet." Burke's evidence is convincing because she discovered, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art at Heide, a small watercolour by Nolan, dedicated to Sunday, that reads, "For the one who paints such beautiful squares" (c.1946-1947). Kendrah Morgan, curator at Heide MoMA, recently confirmed Burke's thesis in the progamme Can We Help? (ABCTV, July 2009).
Nolan left the famous 1946-47 series of 27 Ned Kelly pictures at Heide, when he left it in emotionally-charged circumstances. Although he once wrote to Sunday Reed to tell her to take what she wanted, he subsequently demanded all his works back. Sunday Reed returned 284 other paintings and drawings to Nolan, but she refused to give up the 25 remaining Kellys, partly because she saw the works as fundamental to the proposed Heide Museum of Modern Art
.Burke, 350 She gave them to the National Gallery of Australia
in 1977, which resolved the dispute.
In the 1950s, Heide was once again the centre of a brilliant circle of younger artists and poets. Friends from that period include Charles Blackman
, Robert Dickerson
, Judith Wright
, Barrett Reid, Charles Osborne
, Laurence Hope
and Nadine Amadio. Sunday was the first person to extensively buy Blackman's work. In the 1960s, Sweeney Reed, Joy Hester's son, whom Sunday and John had adopted, was a young gallery director. He invited his circle of artist and poet friends to Heide who included Les Kossatz, Allan Mitelman, Shelton Lea and Russell Deeble.
