Sunday Reed (born Lelda Sunday Baillieu) (15 October 190515 December 1981) was notable for supporting and collecting Australian art with her husband John Reed. ==Personal history== Born on a Sunday, Sunday Reed was the daughter of Arthur Sydney Baillieu (1872–1943) and his wife, Ethel Mary née Ham (1875–1932). Her parents had married in 1899 and had three other children.〔(Brighton Cemetery Records )〕〔Charles Mosley, editor, Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, 106th edition, 2 volumes (Crans, Switzerland: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 1999), volume 1, page 167.〕 She was a member of Melbourne's Baillieu family – the niece of William Baillieu, one of Australia's richest men. She grew up in Toorak and Sorrento. Mostly educated at home, she also attended St Catherine's School, Toorak. She married an Irish-American Catholic, Leonard Quinn, on 31 December 1926. The marriage lasted three years. She married John Reed on 13 January 1932. In the 1930s, Sunday studied art under George Bell in his Bourke Street Studio School in Melbourne. Her only remaining work is a landscape drawing, showing her skill with colour and form. In 1934, the Reeds purchased a former dairy farm on the Yarra River at Bulleen, a suburb of Melbourne, which became known as ''Heide''. The talented artists at Heide "helped shape Australian art from the 1930s on." The Reeds lived on the property until their deaths in 1981, a short time after the property became the Heide Museum of Modern Art, still popularly known as ''Heide''. Sunday was unable to have children following a hysterectomy. The Reeds took over care of and eventually adopted Joy Hester's child Sweeney after Hester was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in the 1940s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Susan )〕 John Reed died on 5 December 1981.
