  • A Eudaimonistic Model for Femininity in the Art of Vida Lahey (1882-1968 )
    ‘Wanted, a strong girl, able to milk and make herself agreeable’: A Eudaimonistic Model for Femininity in the Art of Vida Lahey (1882-1968 ) Author Lovell, Susan Published 2008 Journal Title Australian Feminist Studies DOI https://doi.org/10.1080/08164640802020576 Copyright Statement © 2008 Taylor & Francis.

The visit was also an opportunity to connect to her Irish heritage. During some 'off duty' time, as she was cycling through the Irish countryside, she came across the notice that forms the title of this paper: 'Wanted, a strong girl, able to milk and make herself agreeable' (Lahey 1919, 9). That Vida even recorded the advertisement in her journal says something about the impression that it made on her. The roles of domestic worker and 'agreeable' object form the twin poles of an ideologically determined continuum along which single women have traditionally been expected to define themselves. It is a short, rather constrained continuum because the definition of femininity has been articulated in tandem with the heterosexual institution of the family.

    Graham Clifton Southwell A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Department of Art History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2018 Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney A Hidden Artistic, Literary and Symbolic Treasure Table of Contents Abstract Acknowledgements Chapter One: Introduction and Literature Review Chapter Two: The Invention of Printing in Europe and Printers’ Marks Chapter Three: Mitchell Library Building 1906 until 1987 Chapter Four: Construction of the Bronze Southern Entrance Doors Chapter Five: Conclusion Bibliography i! Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers.

  • Education Resource About the Artist
    EDUCATION RESOURCE ABOUT THE ARTIST Lloyd Rees was born in Brisbane on 17 March 1895. He was well known for his sketches of Brisbane at the time and studied at the Central Technical College. Rees moved to Sydney in 1917 to work for Sydney Ure Smith at the Smith & Julius Studio, one of Australia’s earliest advertising agencies to feature art works and colour printing, which provided regular work for artists and set new standards for the advertising industry. Ure Smith encouraged and commissioned Rees to draw the architecture and landscapes of Sydney. In this exhibition, you can see his observations of Brisbane buildings, streets and landscapes, and his fascination with the effect of light on his subjects, which continued throughout his career. In his later years, Lloyd Rees’s works became more abstract as he began to focus specifically on sources and effects of light. Despite his rapidly failing eyesight, Rees continued to paint, claiming that a benefit of its deterioration was that he was able to look directly at the sun. Key ideas to explore • Portraiture • Draughting • Architecture • Illustration • Drawing • Urban scenery • Landscape • Scale Lloyd Rees as a young man / Image courtesy: Fryer Library, University of Queensland DID YOU KNOW?

  • Art Training in Brisbane to 1991
    Chapter 2 Those who started, those who stayed, those who departed, those who strayed: Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Preamble Throughout the second half of the twentieth century the higher education sector in Australia went through a series of reorganisations culminating in the Dawkins Report 1988 which recommended that the various technical colleges, teachers’ colleges and colleges of advanced education be incorporated into a system of multi-campus universities. Negotiations were put underway so that on 1 July 1991 the Queensland Conservatorium of Music amalgamated with Griffith University. The art, craft and design courses and students of the Queensland College of Art, from Associate Diploma level on, also joined Griffith University and on 1 January 1992 an independent history of 110 years was brought to a close. The history of the college over this time also reflected a series of restructures to mirror perceived educational needs and the political agendas of Queensland governments. The Brisbane School of Arts was founded in 1881 and incorporated into the Brisbane Technical College in 1884. As a result of the Technical Instruction Act of 1908, the suburban technical colleges at South Brisbane and West End were merged with Brisbane to form the Central Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Technical College (CTC) in 1909. When the Queensland Institute of Technology was established in 1965 on the same site, the CTC and its Art Branch retained their independence. In 1972 the Art Branch separated from the CTC to become the College of Art (CoA) which, two years later moved from George Street to purpose- built premises shared with the Seven Hills TAFE and was formally renamed the Queensland College of Art (QCA) in 1982.

We acknowledge the original Owners of the land upon which we work with Australian art teachers and students, and we pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. In doing so, we commit to listen deeply to Story and be respectful of Country in and through our collaborations with First Nations People.

  • Mt Thompson Crematorium/Former
    - Draft History - Mt Thompson Crematorium/former Brisbane Crematorium The former Brisbane Crematorium at Nursery Road, Holland Park, comprising a brick chapel, mortuary, retort room, offices, columbarium garden, caretaker‟s house and landscaped gardens, was designed by Melbourne architects, Charles and Frank Heath and executed by Addison and Macdonald architects. It opened on 10 September 1934 as Queensland‟s first crematorium and incorporates artwork by noted Queensland sculptor Daphne Mayo. Although cremation has been used for the disposal of the dead in many societies for millennia, its use in the Western world, dates from the second half of the nineteenth century. Before it was accepted as an appropriate means of disposal of the dead, theological arguments and tradition needed to be overcome. An early step in this process was the exhibition of a cremation chamber at the Vienna Exposition in 1873. In the following year the Cremation Society of England was formed by Queen Victoria‟s surgeon and other medical practitioners. Subsequently, the first crematoria were built in 1878 at Woking in England and Gotha in Germany. However, the first cremation in Britain in this period took place in 1884 when William Price cremated his son‟s body and subsequently won a court case establishing cremation as legal. Woking Crematorium conducted its first cremation on 26 March 1886.1 In Australia, the cremation movement began in the late nineteenth century but only slowly gained favour. It campaigned for cremation on the basis of public health benefits, and economic and aesthetic grounds. In 1891 South Australia became the first colony to legalise cremation.

Building the Reformed Kirk: the cultural use of ecclesiastical buildings in Scotland, 1560–1645 by Graham T. Chernoff A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh July 2012 Abstract This thesis examines the built environment and culture of Scotland between 1560 and 1645 by analysing church buildings erected during the period. The mid-sixteenth- century ecclesiastical Reformation and mid-seventeenth-century political and ecclesiastical tumult in Scotland provide brackets that frame the development of this physical aspect of Scottish cultural history. This thesis draws most heavily on architectural and ecclesiastical history, and creates a compound of the two methods. That new compound brings to the forefront of the analysis the people who produced the buildings and for whom the church institution operated.
