History
[edit]The magazine began in 1924 as a newsletter for the Sydney Art Students' Club edited by Dore Hawthorne and Nancy A. Hall.[1] Once it evolved into a professional publication it featured contributions from notable artists of the day including Thea Proctor, Anne Dangar, and Margaret Preston, cementing it as a defining platform for showcasing the work of young women artists.[2]
The name Undergrowth referred to bracken and tangle which they felt was representative of women in the art world.[3] For the first issue the pages were hand sewn by the editors themselves until a year later the first half-tone block was used.[3] The magazine was published bi-monthly and featured prose, verse, and drawing.[4] The editors were gifted a two-colour block by Roland Wakelin.[5]
The advertising prices for Undergrowth were 1 guinea for a full page, and ½ guinea for half a page. You could get copies of the magazine from the Artists Color Store at 219 George Street Sydney.[6]
