History


Proctor was born in Armidale, New South Wales, to Katherine Louise Proctor and William Consett Proctor who was a solicitor and a politician. When her parents separated in 1892, she and her mother moved to Bowral to stay with her grandmother who encouraged her interest in painting.[1]


She studied at Sydney Art School from 1896 under Julian Ashton, then at the St John's Wood School of Art in London in 1903. Ashton and Proctor became lifelong friends and she modelled for him many times.[2] Apart from two years spent in Sydney 1912–14 she worked in London 1903–21, associating with fellow Australian expatriates Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts and producing pencil drawings and decorative watercolours and fans influenced by Conder and Japanese woodblock prints. She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, and New English Art Club, later producing lithographs which were exhibited at the Senefelder Club and the London Goupil Gallery for the International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers.[1]


After returning to Sydney, she exhibited with Margaret Preston in 1925 then with George Lambert founded the Contemporary Group who exhibited in Adrian Feint's Grosvenor Gallery in George Street from 1926–28 with Grace Cossington Smith, Marion Hall Best, Elioth Gruner, Margaret Preston, Roland Wakelin and Roy de Maistre.[3]


She taught Adrian Feint the techniques of woodblock-engraving 1926–28, and like her he produced covers for the Ure Smith magazine The Home. Later she taught linocut printing at Julian Ashton's Sydney Art School and drawing at the Society of Arts and Crafts of New South Wales.[1]


She and Margaret Preston were friends who exhibited together in Sydney and Melbourne until a precipitous bout of professional jealousy in 1925.[4]


Late in life she promoted the neglected work of her cousin John Russell.


Two of several portraits by Lambert hangs in the Art Gallery of New South Wales.[1][5][6]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
