Generous gift to Orange from a great artist. Legendary Australian painter, John Olsen (AO). (Picture — Ken Redpath).

Gallery extension takes Flight with

Olsen gift

Legendary Australian artist John Olsen (AO) is kicking-off Orange Regional Gallery extension later this year with donation of one of his emblematic landscapes.

“When I heard about the conservatorium of music [relocating] as well, I thought, ‘wow, this is going to be such a wonderful thing for the people of the town’,” Mr Olsen said.

Olsen offered the major work after visiting the construction site in late-2020 and hearing about the $5 million project.

Orange Regional Gallery Director Brad Hammond said the new additions had significantly enhanced Orange Regional Gallery’s permanent collection.

The donated painting, Flight to Merinderoo (Minderoo), Pilbara, (2019), was inspired by a visit he made to the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia as a guest of Andrew Forrest. He has also donated a bronze sculpture, Basho’s Frog Dancing (2018), and four exceptional works on paper.

“While the collection already features paintings by many notable artists, it has lacked a major work by John Olsen, one of Australia’s most iconic painters,” he said.

“I think Orange is a wonderful town with beautiful parks and a very urbane culture,” Mr Olsen said. “I was moved by what is about to happen, with a wonderful extension of the gallery. I just thought, I could play a small part in making the pudding plumper.” The artist was also impressed by plans to relocate Orange Regional Conservatorium to the cultural precinct in future. “When I saw the highlysophisticated extension I thought, ‘how exciting that the gallery will now play more of a prominent part in the community’.

“We are looking forward to exhibiting these recent acquisitions in our newly-extended and refurbished Gallery in Spring 2021.” Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd thanked Mr Olsen for his generous gift and welcomed such a valuable addition to the gallery’s permanent art collection. “I’m pleased the expansion has the support of such a prominent Australian artist who recognises the significance of the project for the gallery and the city of Orange,” Cr Kidd said. During his visit to the gallery, Mr Olsen said he was impressed by the developments and took particular interest in the extension’s natural lighting design, storage facility and lecture theatre.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

Are you a garage sale freak?

Garage Sale Mystery

Does the thought of finding hidden treasure amongst dusty heaps of someone else’s unwanted belongings fill you with excited anticipation? You will appreciate then, how a friend of mine felt a few years ago when, at a clearing sale in the Central West, amongst the items for sale were three very disturbing photographs which caught his attention. He contacted me to tell me his story and show me his find. The three large framed images depicted scenes of utter desolation in the aftermath of battle. One shows bodies of soldiers strewn on a denuded field, with some on stretchers being carried by the few men left alive. The picture is one of mud, devastation and horror. On the back is written “The Dawn of Passchendaele --Zonib Zonnebeke, 12th October, 1917." Another is hand-tinted and shows a blasted forest. What was once a place of peace and beauty has been completely stripped, the stark tree stumps reflected in the muddy pools of water in the foreground. It is inscribed “Near Passchesndaele, 1918," and then, in pencil in cursive script, the name ‘Loneragan’. The third photograph is of a more peaceful scene. Three soldiers wearing perhaps New Zealand army hats, stand in silhouette overlooking a river and pointing to church spires and magnificent buildings.

This is obviously before the battle. Could it be Brussels or Ypres? We are not to know, but again, in pencil is written”Lonnegan’—a misspelling of ‘Loneragan perhaps? The battles for Ypres and Passchendaele were horrifying and huge numbers of British, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian soldiers were killed, maimed and wounded. "It rained incessantly and every shell hole and mine crater filled with water and virtually every ditch and stream had been dammed by shell-torn earth. The entire battlefield was a morass," wrote John Laffin in 'Australia at War.' It is here that the mystery of the photos gather momentum. After some research, I made more discoveries. It seems that Father Cecil Loneragan, the youngest child of Brigid and James Loneragan (Founder of the Jas. Loneragan stores in Mudgee), served as a chaplain in The First World War and was twice mentioned in dispatches. He filed a report of his service from September, 1916 until February, 1919. “I cannot find words to describe the patience and endurance of these men, who stuck it out amid muck and rain,

snow and frost, for months, lived in underground burrows with lice and rats, worked like coolies all hours of the day and night, listened to the screech and crump of shells through interminable weeks, saw their own comrades wiped out by their side, bore wind and rain and heat and cold, keeping as cheerful as might be and as clean as they could….”( as reported in the Catholic Weekly, 24|4|05) He also mentioned that, among the battles in which he was involved as a chaplain, was the Zonnebeke-Passchendaele operation on October 12th, 1917-the very date written on the back of the photographs! But here the mystery deepens even further. Was it Father Cecil who took these images of the battlefield? It is known that he had an interest in photography, but would he have had the necessary equipment and time to set up a tripod in such desolation? Yet, if the photos are the work of professionals like Frank Hurley or Charles Bean, both of whom were on the Western Front, would it not be acknowledged somewhere on the picture?

What were these treasures doing at a garage sale, unnoticed and unwanted? With more detective work, an intriguing story emerged. Francis James Loneragan , the brother of Father Cecil, enlisted in the British Army in 1915 and fought many battles along the Western Front. In October, 1917, he was wounded at Passchendaele and, upon his recovery, went on to serve for the rest of the war. However—if he was wounded in October,1917, and even if he had the time and equipment, which seems unlikely, he would certainly not have been able to take that photograph. So was it Father Cecil Loneragan who, as an Australian Army chaplain, was also in Passchendaele on October 12th, 1917? The mystery seemed to be insolvable until my friend took them to the Australian War Memorial. It was the image entitled “Dawn of Passchendaele, October 12th, 1917" that caused the most interest. It was indeed the work of Frank Hurley, a remarkable man, who became the first official photographer to the A.I.F. The photo was a fine example of his craft and was not in the War Museum’s collection. It was decided that Father Cecil had probably purchased the print in memory of his superior, Father Michael Bergin, who was killed at his post at Passchendaele on October 12th, 1917. Later, having no descendants, he gave it to his brother, Frank. The mystery was solved, or as close to the truth as could be found, but, the haunting images of those long-dead heroes stayed with us for a very long time afterwards. Copyright 2021 Helen McAnulty
