Since the Gallery’s genesis in the 1870s, our objective has been to collect and present to the public the finest works of art available, with a special emphasis on the artistic traditions of Australia. The Gallery has been located at our present site in the Domain since 1885. The splendid old galleries, designed by government architect Walter Liberty Vernon, display the distinguished 19th-century Australian and early European collections. The building extensions made to the Gallery in the 1970s and 80s responded to the changing needs of both the collection and our audience, doubling the available exhibition space and celebrating the art of our time with extensive displays of modern and contemporary Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and European art. The beautiful and contemplative Asian galleries, expanded in 2003, affirm the Gallery’s commitment to presenting the art and culture of our region. This year the Gallery presented a program of over 38 exhibitions, accompanied by a diverse and stimulating array of public and educational programs.

Once the home and studio of artist Margo and Gerald Lewers, the gallery site, was, as it is today - a place of lively debate, artistic creation and exhibitions at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The gallery is located on River Road beside the banks of the Nepean River. Once called Emu Island, Emu Plains was considered to be the land’s end, but as the home of artist Margo and Gerald Lewers it became the place for new beginnings. Creating a home founded on the principles of modernism, the Lewers lived, worked and entertained like-minded contemporaries set on fostering modernism as a holistic way of living.

  • Escape Artists Education
    ESCAPEartists modernists in the tropics education kit INTRODUC TION & H TEAC ERS NOTES Almost two years in development, Escape Artists: Modernists in the Tropics is the first exhibition by Cairns Regional Gallery to tour nationally. In this exhibition, you and your students will see how the tropical north of Australia has influenced Australia’s greatest artists, some of whom you will be familiar with, others less familiar. The artists featured in the exhibition are: • Harold Abbott • Valerie Albiston • Douglas Annand • Yvonne Atkinson • John Bell • Yvonne Cohen • Ray Crooke • Lawrence Daws • Russell Drysdale • Ian Fairweather • John Firth-smith • Donald Friend • Bruce Goold • Elaine Haxton • Frank Hinder • Frank Hodginson • Sydney Nolan • Alan Oldfield • Margaret Olley • John Olsen • Tony Tuckson • Brett Whitely • Fred Williams • Noel Wood The lure of an exotic, untouched, tropical paradise has a tradition in modern art beginning with Gaugin in Tahiti. It was this desire to discover and explore new worlds which attracted these artists to the Far North - a part of Australia like no other they had seen. Here they found a region of extraordinary, abundant natural beauty and a cultural pot pourri of indigenous inhabitants and people from all over the world. This exciting mixture of important artworks was assembled from major private and public collections by Gavin Wilson,curator of the successful Artists of Hill End exhibition at The Art Gallery of News South Wales. Escape Artists provides a significant look at the cultural and historic heritage of North Queensland and the rest of northern Australia. You and your students will find some pleasant surprises among the works in the exhibition.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

  • 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.

    Brixworth and District Newsletter Learn, laugh, live Registered Charity No 1178196 Issue 74 June 2021 PROGRESSIVE ROCK MUSIC SUPPLEMENT Helpful hint: Once the ‘YouTube’ video appears, once you have clicked on the links below, and after skipping the adverts, you may or may not know, that you can click on the 4-cornered square icon (usually bottom right of the screen on the tool bar, along with the /volume/stop/start/pause/ icons) which will fill the whole screen. You can then use the ‘esc’ button on your keypad to come back out. PROG ROCK (PR) started in the mid-1960s, and followed the anti-war flower-power era of free love. Probably the best- known track from that time, and most likely will be for years to come, is ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ by KING CRIMSON. However, prior to that brilliant piece of work, the movement started with the likes of THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN and his ‘Fire’, and the 3-piece band THE NICE, fronted by keyboard player extraordinaire Keith Emerson, who later formed EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER. Greg Lake was originally with King Crimson and Carl Palmer played the drums with The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the first of the super groups, preceded by British prog rock maestros YES and GENSIS, and later, many others. As a new genre, it was never really accepted in the USA, and I wonder if that had anything to with Keith Emerson who, with The Nice, produced the electrifying track ‘America’, during the playing of which, he stabbed knives into the Hammond Organ, and set fire to the Stars & Stripes flag, a regular event at his concerts, one of which I was present at in Bath in 1968.

  • Artist: Period/Style: Patron: Material/Technique: Form
    TITLE:Vietnam Veterans Memorial LOCATION: Washington, D.C., U.S. DATE: . 1982 C.E. ARTIST: Maya Lin PERIOD/STYLE: Minimalism PATRON: The Commision of Fine Arts MATERIAL/TECHNIQUE: Granite FORM: Highly reflective black granite with incised names of 58,000 names ofVietnam Veterans who sacrificed their lives during the conflict. The name is an abstraction that means more to the family and friends than a pictorial representation. The two walls start very short and get progressively taller until they meet at an oblique angle at the monument’s center. One wall points towards the Washington Monument; the other points to the Lincoln Memorial. FUNCTION: It functions as a memorial to the soldiers that died during the Vietnam War. It is an ideal place for people to come and spend quiet time reflecting on the names and perhaps leaving mementos to the deceased. CONTENT: The walls are made of a dark igneous rock called gabbro, a type of granite, which is highly reflective when polished.The surface of the monument is etched with the 58,195 names of the Americans who died or remained missing in action in the Vietnam War. The names are listed in the order in which they were reported killed or missing in action. This makes the names harder to find, and re- quires a listing and numeric system of organization for visitors. CONTEXT: There were 1400 anonymous entries for this commission. There was a real backlash once her identity was known because of latent racism in the post Vietnam era. She defended her design in front of the United States Congress, who eventually reached a compro- mise: A group of more “traditional” sculptures, called “The Three Soldiers,” was erected near the monument.
