Gazing at Coogee Beach, can you picture artists capturing its beauty over a century ago? Here at Dunningham Reserve, overlooking the beach, sits The Impressionists’ Seat. This sculpture isn’t just a place to rest. It’s a tribute to Australian Impressionist artists Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, and Tom Roberts. The Impressionists’ Seat, created by Eileen Slarke in 2005, depicts these iconic artists. They painted famous coastal scenes of Sydney in the late 1800s. Imagine them here during the 1888 Easter weekend. Conder and Roberts painted Coogee Bay and Holiday sketch at Coogee from this very spot. They captured the sweeping view of the bay. Just two years later, in 1890, Streeton painted Sunny South Coogee Bay (2), capturing the same iconic view. The Impressionists’ Seat serves as a reminder of their artistic legacy. It connects us to a time when these artists found inspiration in the beauty of Coogee Beach. The same beauty we can appreciate today.
