    The Elements within Sculpture - 4 June to 15 July 2011 L A U R A I N E · D I G G I N S · F I N E · A R T The Elements within Sculpture Such Diversity e have travelled a long way! The distance between the sculpture of Sir Bertram Mackennal (1863-1931) and the extraordinarily diverse works W produced by contemporary Australian sculptors is virtually immeasurable. Some fascinating links, nevertheless, remain. Bertram Mackennal was the first Australian artist to achieve great success overseas.* For most of his career he was resident in London where he was accepted by the establishment and enjoyed royal patronage. Furthermore, he was the first Australian elected to the Royal Academy, the first to have a work purchased by the Tate Gallery and the first Australian artist to be knighted. Influenced by Rodin, he became part of the New Sculpture movement in the UK where he practiced an idealised DEL KATHRYN BARTON 1972 - I am loving you like this (version 2), 2008 naturalism, which gave a new life to the classical tradition. bronze edition 3/3 Essentially a modeller in clay, many of his works were subsequently cast in bronze, 100 x 34 x 36 cm while others were carved in marble. Relying heavily on commissions and patronage, he produced a great number of portrait busts, memorials such as the regal Queen Victoria Memorial, 1897-1901, at Ballarat and a wonderful series of very sensuous female nudes: the National Gallery of Victoria has his arresting Circe of 1893 in their collection. The sexuality was made palatable to the attitudes of his period by the use of classical references, as with Vesta, 1900, in this exhibition.

  • Art History's History in Melbourne
    Interrogating Joe Burke and His Legacy JAYNIE ANDERSON THE JOSEPH BURKE LECTURE 2005 Figure 1Joseph Burke at 10 Downing Street, London, then Secretary to the British Prime Minister Clement Atlee. 1943. Photograph. University of Melbourne Archives. Art history’s history in Melbourne began with the appointment of Joseph Burke (1913-1992) to the Herald Chair of Fine Arts in 1946. Burke made a number of remarkable appointments with Ursula Hoff, Franz Phillip, and Bernard Smith to create the seminal department of art history in Australia. Burke’s real field of expertise was in the English eighteenth century. Like many intellectuals of the diaspora, he transposed his scholarship to a different society. This article is based on Burke’s correspondence with Daryl Lindsay and Kenneth Clark. Burke’s support for Australian artists is analysed, notably Hugh Ramsay, Russell Drysdale and Sidney Nolan. In my formation as a scholar I encountered Joe Burke at three crucial points in my life. Initially, at the age of sixteen, as a first year undergraduate at the University of Melbourne, I heard him lecture on subjects such as Tiepolo’s Banquet of Antony and Cleopatra.1 Joe Burke (Fig. 1) remains in my Originally published in MAJ Melbourne Art Journal No 8, 2005, 89-99. memory as a remarkable lecturer, only comparable with Anthony Blunt, who exerted a similar charismatic effect on his audience. He was fluent, witty, would walk up and down, dressed elegantly in a 1940s pin stripe suit, and somehow communicated that art history was a very special intellectual experience, one that I and many of my contemporaries felt compelled to dedicate our lives to pursuing.

  • DAVID BOYD HIS WORK, HIS LIFE, HIS FAMILY 17 August – 23 September 2012 S.H
    DAVID BOYD HIS WORK, HIS LIFE, HIS FAMILY 17 August – 23 September 2012 S.H. Ervin Gallery in partnership with Eva Breuer Art Dealer (List organised chronologically by artist’s birth year; then by artworks in chronological order.) The exhibition David Boyd: his life, his work, his family was conceived through a series of conversations with Boyd before his death and is presented in association with Eva Breuer Art Dealer. David Boyd OAM (1924‐2011) passed away last year at the age of 87 years and this exhibition celebrates his life’s work, along with four generations of Boyd family paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics. This exhibition will present not only works by David Boyd but will also include works by the members of his extended family ‐ from his grand‐parents through four generations to his own children. Many of the over 130 works in David Boyd: his life, his work, his family are from the David and Hermia Boyd collection, along with works from public and private collections. Born in 1924, David Boyd was one of five children to potters Merric and Doris Boyd. His brothers Arthur and Guy, and sisters Lucy and Mary, all carried on the family’s artistic traditions as painters, potters, sculptors, ceramic artists and photographers. Mary Boyd was also married to artist John Perceval and then to Sidney Nolan. David began his professional career in music before turning to pottery, collaborating with his wife Hermia, in a partnership that was to receive international acclaim while influencing the development of ceramic art in Australia. His painting career commenced when he created a series on the Australian explorers in the 1950s and he exhibited almost annually until 2001.

  • BACKGROUND INFORMATION – Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct, Australian Catholic University
    BACKGROUND INFORMATION – Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct, Australian Catholic University BACKGROUND INFORMATION Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct (Block 1 and Block 7 Section 49, Watson) At its meeting of 7 February 2019 the ACT Heritage Council decided that the Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct was eligible for registration. The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s10 of the Heritage Act 2004. Image 1. Blackfriars facade (ACU 2017). Image 2. Signadou and Blackfriars buildings shortly after construction, aerial image taken above Antill St and Phillip Ave intersection (Clarke 2013). 1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION – Signadou and Blackfriars Precinct, Australian Catholic University Concise History (http://www.acu.edu.au/about_acu/campuses/canberra/50/our_history) In 1959 Archbishop Eris O’Brien invited the Dominican Sisters of Australia to open a College in Canberra to prepare Sisters from a number of congregations as teachers for the rapidly expanding diocesan Catholic Primary School system. Negotiations for a site began. A large site in the new northern suburb of Watson was made available for a Dominican complex: and plans developed for two buildings in modern monastic style - a Priory and House of Studies for Dominican Priests, and the national headquarters for the Dominican Sisters (the Generalizia) in a building which would include the Teachers’ Training College - and a parish with both a church and primary school. HISTORY Under the administration of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC), tasked with completing Canberra as the seat of government, Canberra grew from a population of 40,000 to 300,000, with this population boom accelerating in the late 1950s.
