  • 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.

  • Ii: Mary Alice Evatt, Modern Art and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales
    Cultivating the Arts Page 394 CHAPTER 9 - WAGING WAR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT? II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

  • An Investigation of the Role of Place and Identity in Artistic Thought and Practice
    Placing identity, identifying place: An investigation of the role of place and identity in artistic thought and practice. Shelley Margaret Hannigan BFA (Painting), Graduate diploma (Teaching), MEd (Creative arts therapies) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Music Shelley Hannigan, PhD Abstract This thesis explores the phenomena of place and identity in the visual artistic practices of four artists and myself. Using narrative case study and autoethnography, three research questions were investigated and answered: 1. What can be understood about each artist’s account of place and identity? 2. How do the artists encounter, use, or draw on, themes of place and identity in their creative practice, products, and thinking? 3. In what ways do the artists’ places influence their constructions of identity? Methods and techniques used to investigate these questions were interview, observation and artefact analysis. Hermeneutic philosophy was compatible with the investigation of individual insights and experiences of five artists due to its focus on the interpretation of verbal and non-verbal communication. Methodologies of qualitative narrative research were used to foreground artists’ explanations and interpretations of their own artworks and encourage storying of themselves. I investigated my own place, identity and artistic practice through autoethnography. Heidegger’s contribution to place philosophy is discussed as this along with other theories contributed to notions of place as experience. Notions of space and place are reviewed that include historical developments such the spatial turn. This turn challenged the way space and place were understood within disciplines and inspired a turn toward more interdisciplinary understandings of place and space.

  • Percy Leason (1889-1959)
    PERCY LEASON (1889-1959) Percy Alexander Leason was an Australian artist who was a major figure in the Australian tonalist movement. Percy was born on 23 February 1889 in rural Victoria, from a large family of famers, he was expected to carry on the family tradition of wheat farming or saddlery making, however, in his early adolescent years he demonstrated an interest in drawing. After attending art school at Nhill, Percy was apprenticed to Sands & McDougall in Melbourne as a lithographic artist in 1906. He soon transferred to the art department where he did illustrations for jam tin labels and department store advertisements. His first major illustration was a poster for Carlton Brewery in Melbourne of Sam Griffin, an itinerant miner, standing at a bar with a full pint, the caption of the poster “I allus has wan at Eleven”, became a famous trademark for Foster beer. During these years he studied at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School under the tutelage of Bernard Hall and Frederick McCubbin, upon completing his apprenticeship he began a somewhat bohemian lifestyle. Leason commenced his illustration career in 1914, later serving on the staff of the Sydney Bulletin as political cartoonist, at this time his career as a commercial painter was expanding as well, with artworks of Gallipoli and the Sturt expedition being bought by the War Memorial Museum in Canberra, and the National Library of Australia in Canberra respectively. He joined the Sydney Society of Artists and the Painters and Etchers Society, in 1918 his paintings and etchings were purchased by The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, and at that time he was the highest paid commercial artist in Australia.

  • Max Meldrum and the Australian
    Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia ll: European Preludes and Parallels Misty moderns: Max Meldrum and the Australian Tonalists Tracey Lock-Weir 2 / 3 March 2011 Introduction: This lecture will focus on the distinctive school of Australian tonalism, which flourished during the twentieth-century interwar period. It will outline the beginnings of this painting movement from when it was first pioneered in 1915 by the controversial artist, teacher and art theorist, Max Meldrum (1875-1955). Despite being widely condemned, Max Meldrum had an impact on the development of a young generation of Australian artists. Several of these artists became leading figures of the modern art movement in Melbourne and Sydney. Some of Meldrum’s other followers became known as the Meldrumites. Working in opposition to established tastes, these artists produced some of the most abbreviated and abstractly well-designed landscapes in Australian art. During the 1950s Meldrum’s ideas also had an enduring influence on a second generation of young Australian artists. Aspects of these influences will be demonstrated and discussed. Slide List 1.

  • Drusilla Modjeska Novelist, Writer and More. Clarice Beckett: at the Edge
    Drusilla Modjeska Novelist, Writer andmore. Clarice Beckett: At theEdge Catalogue Essay: Clarice Beckett, Niagara Galleries, Melbourne, April 2014 Clarice Beckett liked to paint along the edge of the shore: sand and water, boat and jetty, cliff and bay. She painted early in the morning and again in the evening, at the edge of the day when shadows were long and the light diffuse. There were practical, domestic reasons for both these choices, rehearsed in every telling of Clarice Beckett, the artist who lived with her parents in the Melbourne beach suburb of Beaumaris. As the unmarried daughter, domestic care of her aging parents fell to her, limiting the work of her art to the time and the place of her circumstances. It wasn’t until she was 27 that her father allowed her, in 1914, to attend the Victorian National Gallery School, and even then she was to be chaperoned by her sister Hilda. The freedoms of travel and study in Europe that opened for other women painting in the years between the wars were not for Clarice Beckett. She never travelled beyond Victoria; she did not even have her own studio. Her father had ruled that ‘the kitchen table would do’. But for an artist as serious as Clarice Beckett it did not do, which is why, early each morning and again in the evening, before and after the duties of the day, she set out for the streets and beaches within walking distance of the house, pulling behind her a small cart for her paints, with a lid that served as an easel for her smaller paintings.
