Modern Love: The Lives of John and Sunday Reed | Kendrah Morgan, Lesley Harding
2 posts | 1 read
Much has been written about the lives and art of Heide, but finally the remaining members of the inner circle have entrusted the full story to be told through this intimate biography of John and Sunday Reed. Part romance, part tragedy, Modern Love explores the complex lives of these champions of successive generations of Australian artists and writers, detailing their artistic endeavours and passionate personal entanglements. It is a story of rebellion against their privileged backgrounds and of a bohemian existence marked by extraordinary achievements, intense heartbreak and enduring love. John and Sunday's was a remarkable partnership that affected all those who crossed the threshold into Heide and which altered the course of art in Australia.

1. Alexander & Tatiana from The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons. I wish they would hurry up & turn the series into movies 2. April & Frank from Revolutionary Road. So sad. 3. Sookie & Eric from True Blood & The Notebook. 4. Sunday & John Reed who are famous philanthropists in Oz & the creators of The Heidi Museum of Modern Art that my wonderful Stew took me to for the first time last yr. I have been wanting to go since I was a teenager.

I thought I'd do a few "reading adjacent" recs for The Strays by Emily Bitto. Given that it loosely draws on the Heide circle (a group of Australian avant-garde artists that formed in the 1930s), first up is a biography of John and Sunday Reed.
