  • Thesis Title
    Creating a Scene: The Role of Artists’ Groups in the Development of Brisbane’s Art World 1940-1970 Judith Rhylle Hamilton Bachelor of Arts (Hons) University of Queensland Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts) Melbourne State College A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of English, Media Studies and Art History ii Abstract This study offers an analysis of Brisbane‘s art world through the lens of artists‘ groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists‘ groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane‘s art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine‘ and ‗provincial‘ nature of Brisbane‘s art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city‘s main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the Royal Queensland Art Society, the Half Dozen Group of Artists, the Younger Artists‘ Group, Miya Studios, St Mary‘s Studio, and the Contemporary Art Society Queensland Branch provided critical forms of institutional support for artists. Brisbane‘s art world began to take shape in 1887 when the Queensland Art Society was founded, and in 1940, as the Royal Queensland Art Society, it was still providing guidance for a small art world struggling to define itself within the wider network of Australian art.

  • Fantin-Latour in Australia
    Ann Elias Fantin-Latour in Australia Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009) Citation: Ann Elias, “Fantin-Latour in Australia,” Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009), http://www.19thc-artworldwide.org/autumn09/fantin-latour-in-australia. Published by: Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art. Notes: This PDF is provided for reference purposes only and may not contain all the functionality or features of the original, online publication. Elias: Fantin-Latour in Australia Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 8, no. 2 (Autumn 2009) Fantin-Latour in Australia by Ann Elias Introduction Australia is described as "a country of immigration"[1] and its non-indigenous people as "a cutting from some foreign soil."[2] This is an apt metaphor for a postcolonial population cut from British stock, then transplanted to the Antipodes in the eighteenth century, and augmented, changed, and challenged throughout the nineteenth century by migrations of European (British and other) and Asian nationals. The floral metaphor can be extended by speaking of migration and settlement in terms of grafting, hybridizing, and acclimatizing. In the early part of the nineteenth century, settlers viewed the landscape of Australia— including all flora and fauna—as "wild and uncivilised, almost indistinguishable from the Indigenous inhabitants."[3] The introduction, therefore, of flora and fauna from Britain was an attempt "to induce an emotional bond between Australian colonies and the mother country." [4] So too was the importation of art and artifacts from Britain, France, and other European countries, which was a further effort to maintain ties with the Old World.

  • There Are Also Hints of Personal Tensions in the Official Accounts
    "I take the opportunity of McCormick returning to England, being invalided i.e. being disagreeable to the captain and Wickham. He is no loss. Derbyshire is also discharged the service, from his own desire, not choosing his conduct, which has been bad about money matters, to be investigated". (''1 There are also hints of personal tensions in the official accounts. The crew list of the Beagle under Wickham's command suggests that two of the lieutenants, James Emery and Henry Eden, were senior to Stokes but without his survey experience. Both left the ship in the month when Stokes received the command. However, professional affinity and shared hardship also brought about close friendships. Charles Darwin, inclined to be snobbish and reserved when he first joined the BeaCqle, very soon told his family; "I like the officers much more than I did at first, especially Wickham and young King and stokes"(13) and commended them as "evidently . .. a very intelligent, active, determined set of young fellows". (I4) He even struck up firm friendships with the ship's artists, Augustus Earle and Conrad Martens, neither of whom would ever have entered his social circle in England. Coincidentally both men became major figures in the history of art in early Australia. Earle, en route from London to India in 1824, was stranded on Tristan da Cunha for eight months. Rescued by the Adrnival Cockbuvn he was put ashore at Hobart and, making the most of his accidental arrival in Australia, he moved to Sydney, painted the portraits of successive governors Brisbane and Darling and became the leading portrait and landscape painter of New South Wales until he departed to continue his wanderings in 1827.

  • The Influence of India on Colonial Tasmanian Architecture and Artefacts
    The influence of India on colonial Tasmanian architecture and artefacts Lionel Morrell Background India has a long history of connections with Australia. Long before Captain Cook set foot on southern shores, cloth from ‘the Indies’ had traded its way from Gujarat and Coromandel down through the Indonesian archipelago to be traded with Aborigines by Makassar seamen negotiating seasonal camps to collect trepang, fish and pearl. According to Sharrad in Convicts, Call Centres and Cochin Kangaroos 1 it was men like Mitchell and Lang, from the 1820s on, who retired to land grants in Van Diemen’s Land and later other parts of Australia, who brought with them the verandahs of the Raj that became part of Australian architecture, and familiarity with India. As early as 1824, an attempt was made to found an institution for the sons of Anglo- Indians and British men in Van Diemen’s Land. Following the Indian mutiny of 1857, there was a rise in the numbers of Anglo-Indians settling in Australia, There were 372 Indian-born registered in 1881 2. Among them was Dr John Coverdale, born in 1814 in Kedgeree, Bengal, who was a medical practitioner at Richmond for many years. The term ‘Anglo-Indian’ was first used by Warren Hastings in the eighteenth century to describe both the British in India and their Indian-born children. 3 The first Anglo-Indian to settle in Tasmania was Rowland Walpole Loane in 1809, followed by many others, including Edward Dumaresq, a retired Indian Army officer who bought Mt Ireh in 1855 and lived there until his death in 1906 at the age of 104; Charles Swanston, who first came to VDL in 1828 on leave because of ill-health from his position as military paymaster in the provinces of Tranvancore and Tinnevelly in India and eventually settled here permanently in 1831 and Michael Fenton, who joined the 13 th Light Infantry in 1807 and served in India and Burma until 1828 when he sold his commission and emigrated to Van Diemen’s Land.
