4 Property from the Estate of Charles Wheeler Charles Arthur Wheeler was born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1880 arriving in Melbourne in 1891. A portrait and landscape painter he studied under Frederick McCubbin and L. Bernard Hall at the National Gallery School, Melbourne. In 1910 Wheeler held his first one-man show and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales purchased his painting, ‘The Portfolio’, while the National Gallery of Victoria acquired ‘The Poem’. Wheeler exhibited with the Victorian Artists’ Society in 1908-10 and with the Australian Art Association in the 1920s and 1930s. Travelling to London in 1914 he joined the Royal Fusiliers and gained a Distinguished Conduct Medal for service during World War I. Wheeler returned to Melbourne and taught at the Gallery School becoming Drawing Master in 1935. He was later appointed Head of the Gallery School in 1939 retiring in 1945. Wheeler won the Crouch Prize in 1932 and the Archibald Prize in 1933 and 1934. He is represented in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, Melbourne University and many Regional Galleries including the Castlemaine Art Gallery. He was a sensitive painter with knowledge, experience and a well-developed craftsmanship. Firmly committed to classicist modes of painting, he was especially well-known for his studies of nudes. Considered a thorough gentleman, he was much respected, particularly at the Savage Club of which he was sometime president. Charles Wheeler died on 26 October 1977 at the age of 96 years. All of the present art works have come from the family of Dora Green (nee Wyatt) the artist’s niece and have never been shown before now. One of the most interesting aspects of the portrait of Dora Green (Dorrie) in this collection is the inclusion of the actual pieces used in the painting being the Chinese tea-set in the lower right foreground and the Chinese silk outfit worn by her. The works in this collection give a rare opportunity to acquire an art work gifted by the artist to his niece. 1 CHARLES WHEELER (1880-1977) Healesville oil on board signed lower right: C Wheeler signed and titled verso: C Wheeler Healesville 29 x 39cm PROVENANCE The Estate of the late Charles Wheeler $500–800 2 CHARLES WHEELER (1880-1977) Bushland North Queensland oil on board signed lower right: C Wheeler inscribed verso: BUSHLAND, N, QUEENSLAND 29 x 40cm PROVENANCE The Estate of the late Charles Wheeler $400–600
