Robert initially led tours to Italy, before developing itineraries to, Turkey, Asia, the United States and Scandinavia. Robert designed and led Academy Travel’s first tour to Tasmania in late 2015. For Robert, it is Tasmania’s very distinctive landscape and history that makes it so appealing. ‘When you travel, you want to feel that you are experiencing something new, out of the ordinary. Although it is very much part of Australia, it is surprising how very different Tasmania is from the Enquiries mainland.’ Tasmania’s cooler climate has a lot of influence on this. ‘On & bookings our first tour to Tasmania we were bowled over by the gardens.

    JANE DEETH THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GLOVER PRIZE > According to the Oxford English Dictionary the modern form of the word landscape, with its connotations of scenery, appeared in the late 16th century when the term landschape was introduced by Dutch painters to refer to paintings of inland natural or rural places. COPYRIGHT © Jane Deeth 2011 What artists have chosen to depict in landscape painting has shifted over time. Today, this genre of art-making is not only about representing the natural world as we see it, but PUBLISHER The John Glover Society, Evandale, Tasmania increasingly it is also about how we construct and understand the world we live in. PHOTOGRAPHY Courtesy of the artists, the relevant collections, James Abbott, John Leeman (5), Philip Biggs (41,42), In this book we look through the eyes of John Glover and many of the artists who have entered Philip Kuruvita (43), and Philip Biggs and The Examiner Newspaper (48). the Glover Prize in order to examine the different ways landscape can be expressed and ISBN 978-0-646-55840-0 understood. DESIGN CCD Studio You are invited to take the journey into worlds that may excite and delight as well as confront and confound. We hope this small publication will contribute to the conversation about what THE AUTHOR: landscape might be and what it might have to offer us. Dr Jane Deeth is the curator of the Glover Prize. She also runs New Audiences for Art, a consultancy working with individuals and arts organisations on projects and public programs aimed at introducing new audiences to the more challenging aspects of contemporary art.

  • CLIFFORD HOW Takayna
    C L I F F O R D H O W T a k a y n a – T h e E d g e o f t h e W o r l d C L I F F O R D H O W T a k a y n a – T h e E d g e o f t h e W o r l d 24 July – 7 August 2021 Clifford How’s previous paintings took us on a journey to the Tasmanian Central Highlands. In these new landscapes, ‘Takayna – The Edge of the World’, he takes us on another journey, to the dramatic coastline of Tasmania’s north-west Tarkine region. But ‘journey’ is a word suffering from over-use. It suggests that paintings are like picture postcards which, like some hypnotist’s accessory, can transport us imaginatively off to some other place. Well, actually they do. But perhaps there is a more significant journey involved. In the 19th Century, photography liberated painting from its evidentiary obligations, so that a portrait or a landscape could be far more interesting than just a document. Not that painting had ever been just documentation, but it could now focus more on triggering an experience than on optical reproduction. This is true of How’s landscapes which are less about representing the landscape than the experience of being in that landscape. Key to this is how he builds up the surface using a palette knife. Key to this drama is the palette knife. Its directionality, materiality and edginess serve to embody the dramatic tensions portrayed.
