  • Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA
    arts Article Cultural Tourism: Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA Marie Geissler Faculty of Law Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia; [email protected] Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 28 April 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: This paper explores how the appeal of the imagery of the Arnhem Land bark painting and its powerful connection to land provided critical, though subtle messaging, during the post-war Australian government’s tourism promotions in the USA. Keywords: Aboriginal art; bark painting; Smithsonian; Baldwin Spencer; Tony Tuckson; Charles Mountford; ANTA To post-war tourist audiences in the USA, the imagery of Australian Aboriginal culture and, within this, the Arnhem Land bark painting was a subtle but persistent current in tourism promotions, which established the identity and destination appeal of Australia. This paper investigates how the Australian Government attempted to increase American tourism in Australia during the post-war period, until the early 1970s, by drawing on the appeal of the Aboriginal art imagery. This is set against a background that explores the political agendas "of the nation, with regards to developing tourism policies and its geopolitical interests with regards to the region, and its alliance with the US. One thread of this paper will review how Aboriginal art was used in Australian tourist designs, which were applied to the items used to market Australia in the US. Another will explore the early history of developing an Aboriginal art industry, which was based on the Arnhem Land bark painting, and this will set a context for understanding the medium and its deep interconnectedness to the land.

  • MARGARET TUCKSON 12 November 1979
    JAMES GLEESON INTERVIEWS: MARGARET TUCKSON 12 November 1979 JAMES GLEESON: Well, Margaret, a lot of our work’s been done for us by Daniel in that introduction to the Memorial Exhibition to the catalogue, and that gives a great deal of biographical material. In fact, all that we’ll need, except that you mentioned to me that there were a few corrections that had come to light since then. Could we put on record what those corrections were? MARGARET TUCKSON: Yes. These came from Tony’s sister, Ruth Thornton, who lives in England. It was after I sent her a copy of the Retrospective Exhibition catalogue that she said there were a few corrections she could add to it. I have them written here. So perhaps I’ll just read them out from this. JAMES GLEESON: Good, yes. MARGARET TUCKSON: It’s from the chronology section of the catalogue, the corrections are for. It’s on page 19. So she lists it, as it is in the catalogue, by years. For 1921 she just says that that’s all correct except that there were only seven years in age between she and Tony. We said there were eight, I think. Nineteen thirty-four, ’37, she says, I thought he had a matriculation certificate. Better than School Certificate but not really important. At this he was living with father and stepmother in New Southgate, London. This is why he picked Hornsey Art School—it was quite near’. I think we had the wrong art school there. Nineteen thirty-eight his father died, in November, the 22nd.

  • Josef Haubrich (1889-1961) - Sammler, Mäzen, Kulturpolitiker ,,Wer in Diese Trümmer Geschenke Niederlegt
    Porträt Josef Haubrich (1889-1961) - Sammler, Mäzen, Kulturpolitiker ,,Wer in diese Trümmer Geschenke niederlegt. .. " Von Erhard H. M. Lange Gelegentlich, so stellen wir in der Rückschau fest, gewinnt das scheinbar nur für den Augenblick Verfasste den Charakter eines Zeitpanoramas, in dem wesentliche Grundfragen einer Ära zusam­ menfließen. So jedenfalls der Eindruck, den aus heutiger Sicht ein Blick in eine der ersten Nach­ kriegsausgaben der Neuen Illustrierten, die am 18. Oktober 1946 erschienen ist, hinterlässt. Da fin­ det sich ein Bericht über den letzten Besuch von Emmy Göring und der Ehefrau von Hans Frank bei ihren zuvor vom Internationalen Militär• gerichtshof in Nürnberg zum Tode verurteilten Männern, ein Hinweis auf die Lasten der Vergan­ genheit, denen es sich zu stellen galt. Dazu eine Reportage über Frauen und Kinder, die aus bit­ terer Not Kohlen von einem Güterzug stehlen, ,,Fringsen", wie man es damals in Anspielung an ein nachsichtiges Wort des Kölner Erzbischofs Frings nannte. Des Weiteren eine Darstellung über Der Kunstsammler und Mäzen Josef Haubrich heftige Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Moslems und Hindus in Bombay, was darauf verwies, dass mit dem Sieg über die Achsenmächte und Japan keineswegs alle Konflikte dieser Welt gelöst waren. Als Kuriosität, welche man den zuvor von realistischen Informationen über das Weltgeschehen abgeschnittenen Deutschen glaubte prä• sentieren zu könne, ein Beitrag über einen vorgeblich in der syrischen Wüste unter Gazellen aufgewachsenen Jungen, der nach deren Beispiel mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 85 Stunden­ kilometern laufen könne. Doch nicht weniger überraschen dürfte, dass sich einer der Hauptartikel der angesichts des damaligen Papiermangels nur auf wenige Seiten begrenzten Illustrierten mit einem auf die Bildende Kunst bezogenen Ereignis in Köln beschäftigte.

  • Subjectivity and Authorship Surface and Materiality in Painting and Drawing
    subjectivity and authorship Surface and Materiality in Painting and Drawing Damian Moss Master of Fine Art 2010 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Peter Sharp, for his unwavering support and encouragement throughout this research. I would also like to thank my colleagues, in particular Andrew Christofides, for their advice and interest they displayed in my research. Lastly I would like to acknowledge the support of my family, Val and Peter, Finbar and Sylvie, and most of all Kate. contents Abstract 1 Introduction 2 Changes in Authorship – Classicism to Modernism 3 Critical Distance – Locating the Viewer 4 From Field to Image – the Birth of the Monochrome 5 Locating the Warmth in Formalism 6 Navigating the Line Through Space 7 Creating Structure for Spontaneity 8 The Mark in Question 9 Point of View 10 Conclusion Abstract This research will trace changes in approaches to pictorial space, image surface and materiality from the seventeenth century to the present. It focuses on the rise of modernism in the twentieth century, which saw the gradual flattening of pictorial space and an increased importance placed on an artist’s individual sense of touch. This research questions how these changes impact on the viewer’s experience of an image. How is an artist’s intention to communicate emotions and ideas reflected through their handling of surface, the materials they choose and the processes they employ? What influence does an artist’s interaction with materials and image surface have onlocating the viewer and how do these choices made by the artist affect subjectivity and authorship of an image? In researching the work of other artists and when making my images, I focus on the importance of what is unique to the nature of each medium, and question how this uniqueness becomes part of the content of the work.
