Summary
  • This scrapbook includes all of Ethel Stephens' exhibition catalogues and a wide range of press reviews related to these exhibitions and to Stephens' work as an artist. It also includes press reviews, invitations and programmes from events held by the various art societies with which Stephens was involved. The book contains a letter from Frances Hodgkins concerning her 1913 exhibition at the Anthony Hordern's Gallery in Sydney. The volume provides an interesting survey of exhibiting Australian women artists in the first two decades of the 20th century, including catalogues to exhibitions of the Sydney Society of Women Painters and solo catalogues of women painters such as Ethel Carrick Fox, Gladys Owen, Fairlie Cunningham and others, along with press reviews of their exhibitions.
Biography
  • Ethel Stephens was born in Sydney c.1866, the daughter of the Headmaster of Sydney Grammar School. In 1886 she became Julian Ashton's first student. She began to exhibit in student prize exhibitions run by the Art Gallery of New South Wales and in 1892 was the first woman elected to the Council of the Art Society of New South Wales. She was an original member of the Society of Artists and helped found the Sydney Society of Women Painters in 1910. She was also a founding member of the New South Wales Society of Arts and Crafts. From around 1900 she conducted art classes in her studio at her home 'Eaglefield' in Darlinghurst. She traveled to Europe in 1910 and again in 1920, studying at La Grande Chaumihre in Paris between 1920-1923. She died in Sydney in 1944.
