Study and Professional Experiences Discover the opportunities offered at USYD Law from exchange to international volunteering. Acknowledgments We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land that the University of Sydney is built upon, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge that this was and always will be Aboriginal Land and are proud to be on the lands of one of the oldest surviving cultures in existence. We respect the knowledge that traditional elders and Aboriginal people hold and pass on from generation to generation, and acknowledge the continuous fight for constitutional reform and treaty recognition to this day. We regret that white supremacy has been used to justify Indigenous dispossession, colonial rule and violence in the past, in particular, a legal and political system that still to this date doesn’t provide Aboriginal people with justice. Many thanks to everyone who made the production and publication of the 2020 Sydney University Law Society Education Guide possible.

EXTENDED SYNOPSIS A Thousand Encores tells the surprising and little known story of how, over 70 years ago, an extraordinary company of dancers made a deep impact on our cultural heritage. In 1936, the celebrated Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo stepped off a boat into the bright Australian sunlight. With exotic sets and costumes designed by cutting edge-artists and avant-garde music by great composers like Stravinsky, the Ballets Russes inspired a nation and transformed our cultural landscape. Over five years from 1936 to 1940 they came to Australia three times, winning the hearts and minds of Australian audiences, inspiring a generation of our greatest artists - Grace Cossington Smith, Jeffrey Smart and Sidney Nolan - and ultimately sowing the seeds for Australian ballet today. The story is bought alive using a rich archival resource. Australia has the biggest collection of Ballets Russes footage in the world and an impressive photographic record - the most famous pictures taken by a young Max Dupain.

  • Mr Jeffrey Smart
    Mr Jeffrey Smart The degree of Doctor of the University was conferred upon Australian artist Jeffrey Smart by Chancellor Dame Leonie Kramer at a ceremony held on 2 September 1999. Jeffrey Smart receiving his honorary degree from Chancellor Dame Leonie Kramer, photo G77_4, University of Sydney Archives. Jeffrey Smart and David Malouf at the ceremony, photo, Karen Mork, 'The University of Sydney News', 9 September 1999, University of Sydney Archives. Citation Chancellor I have the honour to present to you Jeffrey Smart for admission to the degree of Doctor of the University. Jeffrey Smart is one of the leading artists of his time. In 1976, the University acquired nineteen of his paintings through a bequest from the estate of A R Renshaw. Jeffrey Smart was born in Adelaide in 1921, and studied at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts, in Paris with Fernand Leger at the Academie Monmartre, and at La Grande Chaumiere. During his early career, he was art critic for the Daily Telegraph, broadcaster for "Current Art Review" on the ABC, and Phidias, on the children's programme, "The Argonauts". He also taught drawing at the National Art School. Fellow artist, Judy Cassab, recalls Jeffrey Smart in the 1950s as an artist who knew exactly what he wanted. On a trip to La Perouse, he admired the gasworks, while she admired the sea. When asked by him to criticise his work, she said, '''Your contours are so sharp. Can't you make them a bit blurred?' And he replied, 'I don't want them blurred.' He knew where he was going." He was creating the interplay between clearly delineated shapes, structures, space and the human figure.
