    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.

  • Inge King Eulogy

    Inge King Eulogy

    Inge King Memorial Service NGV Great Hall, Monday 9 May 2016, 10:30 am I’m deeply honoured to be speaking today about Inge’s extraordinary career. I’m conscious of there being many others eminently qualified to speak, including Professors Judith Trimble and Sasha Grishin, each of whom have published eloquent monographs on Inge, and Professors Margaret Plant and Jenny Zimmer, who have both written informed, extended essays for two of Inge’s earliest survey exhibitions. In addition the NGV’s curator of Australian art, David Hurlston, and former NGV curator and recently retired director of the Geelong Gallery, Geoffrey Edwards, have both worked closely with Inge in the sensitive presentation of two retrospectives held here at the gallery, in 1992 and 2014. In the presence of such a wealth of knowledge and experience, I’m frankly humbled to have been asked to speak. I’d like to briefly mention how I came to know Inge, if only to contextualise my appearance here. Inge was arguably the best-known member of the Centre Five group, which forms the subject of my PhD thesis. I began reading about her work in 2008, while still living in Ireland and planning a return to Australia after a nine-year absence. The reading prompted faint memories of seeing her work at the Queensland Art Gallery while still a student in Brisbane. The following year, six months after embarking on doctoral studies at Melbourne University, I finally met my appointed supervisor, Professor Charles Green, who had until then been on sabbatical. One of the first things he said to me at that meeting was: ‘Now, you do know I’m Inge King’s godson, don’t you?’ Well, no, I didn’t.

In 1989, Roger Butler, the then President of the Print Council, and Curator of Australian Prints at the National Gallery of Australia invited Grahame King to speak at the First Australian Print Symposium. His presentation concerned the early history of the Print Council. In later discussions with Roger Butler he offered his papers relating to the formation and running of the Print Council to the National Gallery of Australia. This small collection includes papers that document Grahame King’s activities with the PCA, the adult education classes he taught and lectures he gave for university courses. The majority of documents comprising this collection are administrative and relate to the PCA; other material includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, financial records and copies of published articles.

    Udo Sellbach Was Just a Teenager When in 1944 Hitler Ordered More Than Half a Million German Youths to the Still Russian Front

    Andrew McNamara and Wiebke Gronemeyer that the idea for the dark rectangular shape found in many of his abstract paintings of the mid-1960s came from watching a sheet drying on a clothes line in the intense Australian sunlight. Whether quotidian or highly Udo charged, these vivid references seem to overwhelm and predetermine any assessment of his oeuvre. Yet there is also something elusive in Sellbach’s art. One Sellbach: result of this push and pull reception is that Sellbach’s abstract paintings are often interpreted figuratively, whereas the seemingly figurative, largely graphic work, often appear to verge on the abstract. Seeing it, Born in Cologne on 9 July 1927, Udo Sellbach was just a teenager when in 1944 Hitler ordered more than half a million German youths to the Still Russian front. It was a mere nine months before the unconditional surrender. The war was already long lost.1 The mass conscription of young boys—many taken straight from school—was a forlorn act to prevent the Russian advance into eastern Germany. Sellbach was conscripted in late February 1945—just three months before the end of World War II when the Russian forces were already rapidly advancing on the German capital. After weeks of ferocious fighting Sellbach was captured, but rather fortuitously escaped execution. He fled Berlin on foot and eventually made his way home through a shattered country only to find his home city largely abandoned.2 Cologne had suffered severe bombing since 1942. By May 1945, it was a wasteland of rubble, ‘an endless panorama of ruins’
