Message from the President
Dear ISFAR friends and colleagues,
Incredibly, we find ourselves at the end of another year – these quarterly newsletters seem to come around more and more frequently! This one contains news of the next issue of The French Australian Review, a Call for Papers for the ISFAR 40th anniversary symposium to be held in May 2025, details of Dr Alexis Bergantz’s new research project, and several initiatives that ISFAR has been involved in and supported in recent months. You will also find news items from ISFAR members, as well of details of a number of recent book launches, and the usual links to French related exhibitions and media items of interest. As you can see, ISFAR has had a busy few months!
I end this message with a request for you to kindly consider making a tax-deductible donation to ISFAR. ISFAR is a non-profit organisation which receives no funding and has no employees; all committee members are volunteers who give generously of their time. Donations to the Research fund contribute towards research activities outlined below and on our website, and to award the Colin Nettelbeck Scholarship to young researchers to attend ISFAR and other relevant conferences. Details of how to donate and/or make a bequest can be found here (all donations over $2 are tax deductible and will be issued with a receipt).
With all best wishes for the summer break and an excellent start to 2025 – watch out for a number of 40th anniversary celebrations next year!
The French Australian Review no. 77
The next issue of The French Australian Review will be published in early 2025. For those of you who read the last issue of the journal, you will recall the article by Barbara Santich on French restaurants in nineteenth-century Australia. That article was the first part of Emeritus Professor Santich’s documentation of the evolving stories of French restaurants in Australia, dealing only with those in New South Wales. This coming issue will include the second part of that story, looking at restaurants in Victoria and South Australia, providing a fascinating insight into the dining habits of our colonial forebears.
There will be two more articles: one, by Paul Gibbard of the University of Western Australia, titled ‘Remembering the Baudin Expedition in South Australia’; the other by independent art curator and researcher Andrew Gaynor, which examines the work of Australian modernist Roy de Maistre and the impact on his art of his sojourns in France in the first few decades of the twentieth century.
In addition to these articles, there will be the additional notes, documents and book reviews. Once again, The French Australian Review promises to provide an attractive and very readable insight into the diversity of research on French-Australian relations.

ISFAR and the Eloquence Art Prize
ISFAR has initiated an award in conjunction with the Eloquence Art prize, an annual competition organised by the not-for-profit organisation CulturePlus and supported by the French Embassy, that rewards the best Art talk given by an Australian university student on a topic that enhances the cultural ties between Australia and France.
The task for the 2024 candidates was to compare two artists, from any Art discipline, one Australian, one French, with at least one from the Art Nouveau era, and analyse how sensibility to nature has impacted their artworks.
The main prize entitles the winner to a three-month stay in France and mentoring by art specialists both in Australia and in France. The ISFAR prize, awarded for the best 400-word summary of their submission, offers the winner online mentoring leading to publication of their short text in the ISFAR newsletter, an article in The French Australian Review and the opportunity to present a paper at the 2025 ISFAR Symposium.
The Prize is coordinated by CulturePlus in partnership with five participating universities across four States, which nominated the winning entries from their students. Five students were then invited to present their papers in public. In 2024 the Award Ceremony was held in Melbourne at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), having been held in Canberra in 2023 at the National Gallery of Australia and in 2022 in Sydney at the Art Gallery of NSW.
Members of the Board of CulturePlus were present at the Award Ceremony, as well as representatives from the participating universities and various partner institutions. Tony Ellwood, the Director of the NGV, welcomed guests and participants and introduced Mme Paule Ignatio, the recently arrived Consul-General of France to Melbourne (Victoria). Mme Myriam Boisbouvier-Wylie, Chair of The French Australian Cultural Exchange Foundation then spoke. All emphasised the importance of cultural links between Australia and France and congratulated Mme Marie Chrétien, the founder and Executive Chair of CulturePlus, on this initiative to provide such a valuable opportunity for art students to expand their knowledge and experience of French art institutions and practices.
Following the presentations by each of the five students, Dr Ted Gott, Head Curator of the NGV, spoke briefly about Art Nouveau and a recent acquisition by gift of Fedora, a portrait of the famous French actor Sarah Bernhardt who was also a painter, sculptor and writer.
Following the Jury’s deliberations, the Eloquence Art Prize for 2024 was awarded to Electra Aitchison from the University of Sydney for her presentation on the Villa Berliet in Lyon and Babworth House in Sydney, demonstrating how the Art Nouveau movement was reflected in these different contexts.
The jury for the ISFAR prize (Robert Aldrich, Jane Gilmour, Briony Neilson, Liz Rechniewski) had deliberated in advance of the oral presentations. It was very impressed by the quality of the entries. A range of artists and artworks was selected for comparison, the candidates displaying imagination in their choices and discernment in finding parallels and distinctions between their chosen subjects, via the theme of Art Nouveau. The jury decided to name not one but two winners for the ISFAR prize, both strong entries that would lend themselves well to further development: Daniel Glover (UWA) and Tilly Pohlmann (University of Melbourne). Their texts are published below.
The ISFAR/CulturePlus collaboration extended to a film evening presented at RMIT on Wednesday 9 October. ISFAR, in partnership with CulturePlus, co-hosted this special screening event, featuring French and Australian short films focused on sustainability, the environment, and renewable energy. Commissioned by the NGV, NGA, MCA, and UNESCO, these films offered creative responses to pressing environmental themes. The evening was opened by Mme Paule Ignatio, the French Consul-General in Melbourne, and organised by Dr. Alexis Bergantz and A/Prof. Kerry Mullan.
Following the films, Dr. Daniel Binns from RMIT’s Media and Communications chaired a lively panel discussion featuring Ewan Mc Eoin (Senior Curator, NGV), Deborah Hart (Climarte), and Tamara DiMattina (The New Joneses), who discussed the Arts’ vital role in promoting sustainability and environmental awareness.

Transcending Boundaries: Thea Proctor and Élisabeth Sonrel’s Shared Sensibility to Nature
At the turn of the twentieth century, Australia and France were both undergoing profound periods of transformation. Australia was grappling with its colonial past and struggling to establish a national identity, while France was in the midst of La Belle Époque – a complex period marked by both optimism and hidden tensions. Despite these differing contexts, Australian artist Thea Proctor (1879–1966) and French artist Élisabeth Sonrel (1874–1953) both demonstrated a deep sensibility to nature in their artworks, thereby reflecting key elements of Art Nouveau – a movement that emerged in Europe in the 1890s and was defined by organic forms, intricate patterns, and the integration of art into everyday life.
Both Proctor and Sonrel sought to break from the historicism that dominated much of the art world in the late nineteenth century. Sonrel employed traditional academic techniques in innovative ways to create mystical, Renaissance-inspired artworks filled with allegory and poetry, while Proctor produced vibrant, modernist artworks inspired by Japanese printmaking, Post-Impressionism, Cubism and Fauvism. A key similarity between their works is the frequent use of botanical motifs. Proctor often includes vases of flowers, floral patterned furniture, and floral clothing in her compositions, while Sonrel paints flowers and vines around the edges of her artworks, and adorns her subjects with flower crowns and bouquets. Both artists also utilise sinuous, curved lines, creating a sense of dynamism and fluidity that reflects the organic shapes and rhythms found in nature. These botanical motifs and flowing lines not only evoke the inherent beauty of the natural world, but also serve as hallmarks of Art Nouveau.
Proctor and Sonrel further demonstrate their sensibility to nature by depicting beautiful women as central figures in their artworks. Women have long been associated with various attributes ascribed to nature, including fertility, strength and vitality. The female figures in Proctor and Sonrel’s artworks typically have elongated limbs, exaggerated curves, flowing hair, and delicate facial features. They exude femininity, elegance and grace, thereby capturing the idealised beauty characteristic of both nature and Art Nouveau.
Though separated by continents and cultures, Proctor and Sonrel both sought to create new forms of art that reflected the broader cultural shifts occurring in their respective countries. While their techniques differed considerably, they both demonstrated a profound sensibility to nature and captured core elements of Art Nouveau. Ultimately, their artworks illustrate not only their individual responses to the cultural and artistic currents of their time, but also the enduring power of nature as a unifying force in art.
Daniel Glover is a third-year Art History major at the University of Western Australia. He is a member of the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery’s student programme ‘Sculpt’ and serves as the History of Art Representative for the Student Society at the School of Design. These commitments reflect Daniel’s interest in community outreach and art’s capacity to contextualise and critique our image-saturated world.
French Art Nouveau artist, Emile Gallé and Contemporary Indigenous Australian artist, Yhonnie Scarce
Forged through a combination of air and fire, sand transforms into glass, a medium that is at once durable and fragile. A glass work becomes an evolving object through the reflecting and refracting of light that surrounds it, though always teetering on an edge, susceptible to death through breaking. French Art Nouveau artist Emile Gallé and Contemporary Kokatha and Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce explore this material state of tension through their glass work. Each artist combines a delicate aura with the imagery of nature to communicate feelings of human anxiety. Paying tribute to nature through glass, both artists respond to concerns for the changing environments of their respective moments in their work.
Gallé was a participant in Art Nouveau, a design-led movement that aimed to implement stylistic representations of nature into an urbanising fin-de-siècle culture. Inspired by emerging psychological discourses that related nature to the human subconscious, Gallé produced art that provoked his viewers to consider and reconnect with nature and their inner being. The transient state of nature became the subject of Gallé’s œuvre, with the weaving of branches and veins of leaves embodying the human nexus of nerves and the mind. As such, the glass vessel becomes indicative of the body, the glass a reminder of our similar fragility. Through these combinations of the natural, the human and the material, Gallé overarchingly reflects on mortality across his body of works.
Whilst Scarce is not responding directly to Gallé’s work, she is actively participating in this larger investigation of biological embodiment through glass. Like Gallé, Scarce is conscious of the provocative qualities of glass, as she suspends, pinches, and etches her works to spark a collective memory surrounding communal, traumatic events. Through the symbolic use of Bush Tucker, Scarce tenderly connects Indigenous food found in nature to her people and land, her artworks acting as both embodiments of and an offering to those she represents. By pushing the medium of glass to its limits, at times to the point of partial destruction, Scarce creates evocative forms that personify the rippling effects of colonial practices.
Where Gallé uses glass works to connect organic imagery to the human body and experience, Scarce sees glass as a way to contemplate specific moments of injustice that have slipped from national consciousness. By intimately wedding the human with the natural, the material with the intangible, the works of both artists become living objects, transmitting histories that speak to those that view them.
Alliance Française de Melbourne – Berthe Mouchette competition
The Alliance Française de Melbourne hosted the awards ceremony for the 130th Berthe Mouchette competition on Tuesday 26 November at St Kilda Town Hall, which was this year transformed into an Olympic Arena!

Historical Encounters: Symposium in Honour of Robert Aldrich
A Symposium was held in honour of Robert Aldrich, chair of the ISFAR Advisory Board and member of the Research Committee, on 3 October at the University of Sydney. Considered a great success, with many former and current colleagues participating, the four sessions included France in the Pacific, History of Colonialism, Gay Studies and Modern Monarchies, with papers by Alexis Bergantz, Briony Neilson, Denise Fisher and Liz Rechniewski in the first two sessions. The substantial contributions that Robert has made to these fields of research was very well represented and celebrated in the range of papers given and his outstanding role as mentor, colleague and collaborator highlighted and honoured.
Discussions are underway to develop a series of interviews with leading researchers in French-Australian Studies that would record the contributions of academics such as Robert.

Book launches
Launch of An Environmental History of France: Making the Landscape
On Thursday 5 December, the Royal Historical Society of Victoria hosted the launch of Emeritus Professor Peter McPhee’s latest book, An Environmental History of France: Making the Landscape, 1770–2020 (Bloomsbury). The event featured an engaging introduction by Maxine McKew, who officially launched the book to an enthusiastic audience.
McPhee’s work explores the evolution of the French landscape over 250 years, shaped by ‘economic and cultural change, war, and revolution’. In his introduction, McPhee reflects on the cultural significance of le paysage in France, finding echoes in the idea of ‘the Bush’ or ‘the Outback’ in Australia.
The launch highlighted the book’s contribution to understanding the interplay between people, place, and history, and its resonance beyond France. It offers fresh insights into global environmental and cultural history by one of Australia’s, indeed, the world’s most accomplished and celebrated historians of France.
The book is available from Bloomsbury.
