John Russell
Working in Europe at the end of the 19th century, John Russell (1858-1930) was part of the French avant-garde and the only Australian painter to have been closely associated with some of the most original and influential artists in France. He was a close friend of Van Gogh and Rodin, dined with Monet and taught impressionist colour theory to Matisse. Yet, despite the efforts of fellow Australian artist Thea Proctor, his cousin, he remains little known. This major survey presents the breadth of Russell's art from his studies in London and Paris, through impressionism and experimentation with pure colour, to his later fauve-like luminous watercolours.
A Remarkable Friendship
A huddle of wooden sheds in a courtyard off the Boulevard Montmartre known as Cormon's atelier was where the handsome art student from Sydney, John Peter Russell, first met the haunted, intense newcomer from Holland, Vincent van Gogh. Both were foreigners in the competitive art world of Paris in the 1880s, and over the next two years both would discover a passion for colour painting. Now, for the first time, Ann Galbally traces the passage of this extraordinary and unlikely friendship. The two spent hours together in a Paris studio experimenting with the fast-moving changes in art practice. Both artists ultimately rejected the Impressionist's world of urban sophistication and left Paris to develop colour painting in isolation, Van Gogh at Arles in Provence, and Russell on Belle Ile off the coast of Brittany. With a supporting cast including Gauguin, Rodin, Monet and Matisse this is a journey through the struggles and failures, plots and intrigues of artistic life. A tale of love found and lost and ultimate tragedy, it makes for enthralling reading.

The King of Belle-Ile - John Russell (1858-1930).
The life and art of Australia's first Impressionist painter, John Russell (1858-1930), is celebrated in this documentary by Albie Thoms. Featuring the startling landscape of Belle-Ile, a rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brittany in France, where Russell made his home for more than twenty years, it explores the exciting milieu of this Australian painter, who was an eye-witness to the massive changes in art in France at the end of the nineteenth century. Raised in Sydney, Russell studied at the Atelier Cormon in Paris, where his fellow students included Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard and Vincent Van Gogh. but a meeting with the Impressionist master, Claude Monet, ...
