| 説明 | Nora Heysen was born in 1911 just before the Heysens moved into the Cedars. She grew up here and attended school at the Convent of Mercy Mt Barker. At 15 years of age she started art training at the North Adelaide School of Fine Arts which was eventually subsumed into the University of South Australia. Next she studied at the Royal SA Society of the Arts and she had her first exhibition with them in 1928 at 17 years of age. From 1930 she had her own studio at the Cedars and she had an exhibition in Sydney in 1930. By 1932 she had works in the NSW, QLD and SA art galleries. Unlike her father she specialised in still life and flowers which her father immediately stopped painting. He continued with his eucalypts and landscapes. In 1934 she sailed to Europe for further art study and did not return to Adelaide until 1937. She continued to exhibit, won more awards and moved to Sydney to live in 1939. She often revisited her family at the Cedars but never lived there again, except for some recuperation for part of 1946 after the War. Her life took a dramatic turn with the start of World War Two. She became the first female Australian War Artist from 1943 serving time mainly in Papua New Guinea. She completed 170 paintings for the War Office and 152 of them now reside in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Whilst in New Guinea she met a British medical officer Dr Robert Black. She began a relationship with him that resulted in his divorce and his remarriage to her ten years later in 1953. She travelled in Europe in 1947 and 1948 and returned to live in Sydney in 1949 where she stayed for the rest of her life in the house she purchased with Dr Black called The Chalet at Hunters Hill. She died there at The Chalet in 2003 although she had divorced Dr Black in 1972. She won many awards including the Archibald and the Melrose Prize for Portraiture. She was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1998. |
