    The Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships samstag ’95 The 1995 Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships samstag University of South Australia ’95 samstag Mehmet Adil Marika Borlase Catherine Brennan Kate Daw Ruth Fazakerley Susan Fereday Matthÿs Gerber Marcia Lochhead Sue Saxon Lucy Turner Megan Walch Foreword his publication witnesses the achievement of eleven artists who were Tawarded Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships, tenable for twelve-months of study overseas, commencing from 1995. These nine women and two men are beneficiaries of Gordon Samstag’s vision to level the playing field for Australian artists, whom he knew to be as good as their international peers, but restricted unreasonably by geographic isolation. Consequently, this third group of Samstag Scholars will soon be embarking on lengthy and enviable creative adventures in New York, Utrecht, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Glasgow and Dundee. Following the good news of their award, the preparations which “Samstagers” must make to secure their overseas study opportunity are, invariably, complex and taxing. For example, while under no obligation to enrol in formal degree courses, their project must nevertheless demonstrate a full commitment to studio practice under the bona fides of an appropriate institution. Negotiations for acceptance into a preferred institution can be arduous and slow. While concerned primarily with artistic development and enrichment, the Samstag experience is thus distinguished also by endeavour and Matthÿs GERBER self-reliance. Moreover, when confronted L'Origine du Monde #1 1992 oil on canvas directly by the formidable dimensions 200 x 300 of international contemporary art, scholarship recipients may discover, beneficially, that their own indigenous artistic character is distinct and viable.

    Rick Amor.Docx

    Rick Amor Bio Rick Amor was born in Frankston, Victoria in 1948. In 1965 he completed a Certificate of Art at the Caulfield Institute of Technology, and from 1966 to 1968 studied at the National Gallery School, Melbourne where he received an Associate Diploma of Painting. He has been the recipient of several Australia Council studio residencies, which have allowed him to work in London, New York and Barcelona. In 1999 the Australian War Memorial appointed him as the official war artist to East Timor. Amor has held over 50 solo exhibitions since first exhibiting at Joseph Brown Gallery in 1974 and has shown annually at Niagara Galleries since 1983. A major survey exhibition of his paintings was curated by McClelland Gallery in 1990 and toured various regional galleries in Victoria and South Australia. In 1993 an exhibition mounted by Bendigo Art Gallery toured Victoria and Tasmania, presenting his work as a printmaker and graphic artist. An important exhibition of Rick’s bronze sculpture was undertaken by Benalla Art Gallery in 2002, including many maquettes never previously exhibited. In 2005, Robert Lindsay curated Rick Amor: Standing in the Shadows, the second major survey of Amor’s work to be presented at McClelland Gallery+Sculpture Park. In March 2008, Heide Museum of Modern Art presented Rick Amor: A Single Mind, a triumphant survey of Rick’s paintings and works on paper from 1968 – 2008. Gary Catalano’s biography The Solitary Watcher: Rick Amor and his Art, was published by The Miegunyah Press in 2001; and in 2008, The Beagle Press published Gavin Fry’s richly illustrated monograph, Rick Amor.

Organisational Background 4 4. Strategic Plan 6 1 GEELONG GALLERY STRATEGIC PLAN 2020 – 2023 Endorsed by Geelong Gallery Board 21 September 2020 1. OUR PURPOSE Geelong Gallery’s purpose is to provide an experience of art that will enrich people’s lives. PILLARS Geelong Gallery’s purpose is underpinned by four pillars: 1. Geelong Gallery will deliver artistic and cultural advancement for the community thus making Geelong a more liveable City; 2. Geelong Gallery will bring economic benefit to the region through tourism arising from its exhibitions and events; 3. Geelong Gallery will connect and empower people by promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, access and lifelong learning; 4. Geelong Gallery will expand its premises to provide greater access to its collections and exhibitions, in order to significantly enhance the delivery of its aims in the first, second and third pillars. 2. INTRODUCTION This document summarises the strategic direction of Geelong Gallery for the period 2020–2023. This Plan is endorsed by the Geelong Gallery Board and supported by six key sub-committees of the Board focussed on the Governance and guidance of Gallery operations. The plan is implemented by Senior Management via detailed annual business plans. While many Gallery activities delivered are quantifiable, the primary outcomes of the Gallery’s core business — across exhibitions, learning and public programs, and visitor experience — are qualitative: beyond conventional accounting and measurement, and reliant on peer, popular and critical response in the short and long term, and on the cumulative effects of learning, engagement and self-determination.

    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.

    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.
