Publishers Description: In this companion volume to the bestselling book Sundays Kitchen, the physical environment of Heide is explored. When Sunday and John Reed purchased Heide, now the site of the Heide Museum of Modern Art, it was a neglected former dairy farm. At the end of their lives, it was unique among Melbournes parklands, densely forested with exotic and native flora and a stunningly beautiful cottage-style kitchen garden as the jewel in its crown. The transformation is an extraordinary aesthetic accomplishment, the result of 50 years of vision, dedication, and sheer hard work. Exploring Heides history, this book demonstrates how the Reeds molded it into a personal Eden, connecting art with nature and creating a nourishing environment for the artists they championed—Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Joy Hester, Charles Blackman, and Mirka Mora among them.
