Is Mosman Art Society’s latest 9x5 Exhibition an online first? If so, it’s in the groundbreaking tradition of the original Nine by Five Exhibition in 1889.
Back then Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and other young artists shocked the stuffy Melbourne art world with the first exhibition of Impressionist art in Australia.
Following radical European painters such as Claude Monet and James McNeill Whistler, they painted landscapes outdoors – en plein air – with sketchy brushstrokes and vivid colours.
Works in the show were nine inches by five inches (about 23cm x 13cm), painted on cigar box lids supplied by fellow artist Louis Abrahams, whose family owned a cigar business.
The Australian art world had never seen anything like it. Despite critics’ outrage, buyers snapped up these affordable small-sized works and it is now considered the most important exhibition in Australian art history.
With Roberts and Streeton living and painting at Little Sirius Cove only a few years later, it was only natural that Mosman Art Society was among the first of many art societies nationwide to regularly organise 9x5 shows in honour of these pioneers.
Our membership embraces professional and amateur artists, traditional and contemporary, and anyone who loves and appreciates art. The annual 9x5 Exhibition at the Julian Ashton Art School, Headland Park, (thanks to our Patron Paul Delprat) is hugely popular with members and visitors.
Covid, alas, has put a stop to an actual event this year, but the internet has shown that nothing can stop an artist from showing – and selling – their work.
Arthur Streeton would be impressed.
