  • 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.

  • The Drunken Buddha
    Ian Fairweather: The Drunken Buddha 1 The Drunken Buddha, Ian Fairweather’s illustrated translation of a popular Chinese tale, published by University of Queensland Press (UQP) in 1965, is a rare example of a serious book-length translation from Chinese to English by an established artist. It is one of a number of translations from Chinese undertaken by Fairweather, evidence of an unusual pastime that arose from his fascination with the Chinese language. For Fairweather the publication of The Drunken Buddha was the culmination of years of work and making up for various frustrated earlier efforts to see it into print. The book was greeted by critics as a curiosity, something to add to the list of bizarre events associated with the life of the Scottish-born artist who since 1953 had lived on his own terms in a self-made hut on Bribie Island and in 1962 was declared ‘Australia’s greatest living artist.’1 Writing in 1995, Sinologist Pierre Ryckmans [Simon Leys] lamented that what should be regarded as one of UQP’s ‘proudest productions’ had been long out of print and questioned why no-one had ever asked Fairweather, while he was alive, what had motivated him to do it. ‘No sensitive and reflective artist can approach China without being profoundly affected by that experience. Fairweather’ he wrote, ‘ was certainly no exception to this rule and, for all his reticence and elusiveness, he left convincing evidence that China played an important role in his artistic and spiritual development.’2 Twenty years later, in 2015, a 50th anniversary edition of The Drunken Buddha was published by UQP to celebrate ‘Fairweather’s creative legacy.

  • Dianne Reilly – Lina Bryans, Portrait of Tristan Buesst
    92 Lina Bryans, Portrait of Tristan Buesst Pictures Collection H89.207 Acquired 1983 Tristan Noël Marchand Buesst (1894–1982) was one of a dedicated group of collectors and historians who joined forces, in 1966, to form the Friends of the La Trobe Library, a support group for the new wing of the then State Library of Victoria. The La Trobe Library, opened in 1965, was built to commemorate the courage and enterprise of the state’s pioneers1 and to act as the state’s principal repository for Australiana. Tristan Buesst acted as provisional president of the Friends, its first meeting held on 29 November 1966 at his apartment in South Yarra.2 He was duly elected president and held the position until April 1972. Born into a cultured and affluent Melbourne family, Tristan Buesst was educated at the University of Melbourne before enlisting in the British Army in 1916 and serving on the Western Front.3 After the war, he continued his studies in law at New College, Oxford. On his return to Melbourne, he completed his LLB and was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria in 1925 as a barrister and solicitor. In 1933, he married Marie Mackinnon, niece of artist Rupert Bunny. In addition to Buesst’s donation of many paintings to the Library’s Pictures Collection over the years,4 the Tristan Buesst Fund, established in 1971 for the acquisition of historical pictures, has made possible numerous important purchases for years to come.5 A serious book collector, Buesst presented his collection of about 300 foreign-language Australiana volumes, mainly works published in the late 18th and 19th centuries, to the State Library in 1974.

  • The Colonies
    Introduction: The Colonies BRIGITTA OLUBAS AND LYDIA WEVERS University of New South Wales and Victoria University of Wellington Before there was ‘Australia and New Zealand’ there were the colonies: New South Wales (1788); Van Diemen’s Land (1832); South Australia (1836); New Zealand (1840); Western Australia (1849); Victoria (1851); and Queensland (1859). In 2013 what we have is a series of competing nationalisms operating across both national terrains, including internally (whose is the indigenous nation of Aotearoa?); nonetheless countless filiations continue to span the Tasman, connecting people, language, politics, sentiment, ecology, history, art and literature. The first ASAL conference to be held outside Australia, in Wellington in July 2012, considered the long and tangled histories of our two literatures. The call for papers took its starting point from Grace Karskens’s history of Sydney, The Colony, praised for its outstanding sense of place, and contributors were invited to disaggregate contemporary national binaries in ways that would allow us to see the many continuities as well as the divergences with which we generate our sense of place. The conference asked contributors to revisit the literary history of our two nations and uncover the ways in which the ‘Tasman World,’ as James Belich terms it, continues into the twenty-first century. Contributors were also asked to consider if the old postcolonial verities and paradigms become less important as critical writing shifts focus and gear—to eco-criticism, transnationalism, or indeed, to invoke the title of the 2011 ASAL Conference, to ‘field’, curriculum and emotion. There was a great range of papers and those selected for publication in this issue of JASAL reflect the diverse and imaginative ways in which the history and literatures of our two countries might be reconsidered in terms of their competing nationalisms, as well as of the cross currents, shared interests and people which connect them.

    Joseph Brown Chris McAuliffe The late Dr Joseph Brown AO, OBE (1918–2009) migrated to Australia from his native Poland in 1933. After training and practising as a sculptor and painter,1 serving in World War II and working in the fashion industry, he became one of Australia’s leading art dealers, collectors and consultants, whose research and connoisseurship led to the rediscovery of many under-appreciated or forgotten Australian artists and the mentoring of many others. He was a remarkably generous donor to many museums and galleries, culminating in 2004 with the gift of the major part of his collection of Australian art to the National Gallery of Victoria. The University of Melbourne awarded Dr Brown an honorary Doctor of Laws Melbourne, and that he had his own At this time, the University was in 1986.
