  • PETER ANDERSON Conceptual and Perceptual: the Early Artists’ Books of Robert Jacks1
    77 PETER ANDERSON Conceptual and perceptual: the early artists’ books of Robert Jacks1 In 1980, the New York artists’ book distribution company Printed Matter Inc. released a catalogue promoting a select collection of some 200 titles, ‘artists’ books that are excellent representatives of the field’.2 The Heart collection was selected by the organisation’s staff and board from Printed Matter’s inventory of some 2500 titles and, as the introduction to the catalogue explained, the aim was to provide libraries, museums and collectors with a ‘seed collection encompassing the many facets of the artists’ book movement’. Included amongst the works in the Heart collection was Robert Jacks’s Color Book – Hand Stamped (1975), described briefly as ‘rubber-stamped grids with that endearing homemade quality’.3 Printed Matter began in 1976 as an artists’ book distribution company, with an initial inventory of just 450 titles. Also established that year was Franklin Furnace, a multi-arts venue that also had a focus on artists’ books and what were called ‘artist readings’. While initially selling artists’ books through its bookstore, Franklin Furnace later focused on the development of an artists’ book archive.4 An early, undated eight-page catalogue for the Franklin Furnace Bookstore listed a range of ‘book-like works by artists’, including five titles by Jacks: three rubber stamp books, the offset printed book Red Diagonals (1976) and ‘five envelopes, unbound rubber stamped’.5 Like the early Printed Matter catalogues, the Franklin Furnace catalogue listed prices for individual books, 78 T e La T obe Jou a No. 95 Ma c 2015 as well as offering ‘package deals’, with ‘literally everything’ in the catalogue available for US$1200.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

  • The Blot on the Landscape: Fred Williams and Australian Art History
    The blot on the landscape: Fred Williams and Australian art history Keith Broadfoot There is a blot on the Australian landscape. It has been there for a long time, but its existence only really became apparent with a defining shift in Australian art historiography which occurred with Bernard Smith’s 1980 Boyer Lecture series, The Spectre of Truganini. Seeing the exclusion of an Aboriginal presence in Australian art through the ideas of Sigmund Freud, Smith proposed in his pivotal text that the history of Australian art was a history of repression. After Smith, contemporary art historian Ian McLean has developed the most detailed account of the history of Australian art according to this methodology. This essay examines the work of the modern Australian artist Fred Williams in relation to both Smith and McLean’s understanding of the history of Australian art but to expand on their work I argue that, rather than Freud alone, it is Jacques Lacan’s refiguring of Freud that offers us the most insight into Williams’s work. Further, insofar as I argue that the history of Australian art is the very subject matter of Williams’s work, his work stands in for a wider project, the writing of a history of Australian art according to Lacan’s proposal of a foundational split between the eye and the gaze. But first, to that blot. From colonial melancholy to a modern uncanny In a brilliant observation, Ian McLean, in drawing attention to emigrant artist John Glover’s attempt to control the disorderly dispersion of gums across the hillsides in the background of some of his paintings, suggests that therein could be found the origin to the art of Fred Williams.

  • The Influence of India on Colonial Tasmanian Architecture and Artefacts
    The influence of India on colonial Tasmanian architecture and artefacts Lionel Morrell Background India has a long history of connections with Australia. Long before Captain Cook set foot on southern shores, cloth from ‘the Indies’ had traded its way from Gujarat and Coromandel down through the Indonesian archipelago to be traded with Aborigines by Makassar seamen negotiating seasonal camps to collect trepang, fish and pearl. According to Sharrad in Convicts, Call Centres and Cochin Kangaroos 1 it was men like Mitchell and Lang, from the 1820s on, who retired to land grants in Van Diemen’s Land and later other parts of Australia, who brought with them the verandahs of the Raj that became part of Australian architecture, and familiarity with India. As early as 1824, an attempt was made to found an institution for the sons of Anglo- Indians and British men in Van Diemen’s Land. Following the Indian mutiny of 1857, there was a rise in the numbers of Anglo-Indians settling in Australia, There were 372 Indian-born registered in 1881 2. Among them was Dr John Coverdale, born in 1814 in Kedgeree, Bengal, who was a medical practitioner at Richmond for many years. The term ‘Anglo-Indian’ was first used by Warren Hastings in the eighteenth century to describe both the British in India and their Indian-born children. 3 The first Anglo-Indian to settle in Tasmania was Rowland Walpole Loane in 1809, followed by many others, including Edward Dumaresq, a retired Indian Army officer who bought Mt Ireh in 1855 and lived there until his death in 1906 at the age of 104; Charles Swanston, who first came to VDL in 1828 on leave because of ill-health from his position as military paymaster in the provinces of Tranvancore and Tinnevelly in India and eventually settled here permanently in 1831 and Michael Fenton, who joined the 13 th Light Infantry in 1807 and served in India and Burma until 1828 when he sold his commission and emigrated to Van Diemen’s Land.

    ART Art Gallery of NSW GALLERY NSW 5 September – 29 November 2009 TACKLING THE FIELD 2 Tackling The Field Natalie Wilson The Event It was billed as the gala occasion of 1968, if not the decade. The lavish and much anticipated opening of the magnificently re-sited National Gallery of Victoria was held on the brisk winter evening of Tuesday, 20 August that year. The new building on St Kilda Road – the first phase of the $20 million Victorian Arts Centre complex – boasted a collection valued over $25 million, with its most valuable paintings, including works by Rembrandt, Tiepolo and Cézanne, acquired through the magnanimous bequest of industrialist Alfred Felton. In the towering Great Hall, intended for State receptions and banquets, the multi- hued glass ceiling by the Melbourne artist Leonard French – one of the world’s largest pieces of suspended stained glass – shimmered with radiant flashes of brilliant colour. As Evan Williams reported in the Sydney Morning Herald the following day, ‘with a candle-lit banquet, special exhibitions and seminars, a symphony concert, a trumpet fanfare composed for the occasion, it is some 1 opening’. The Field, National Gallery of Victoria, 1968 Left to right: on floor, Nigel Lendon Slab construction 11; Eric Shirley Encore; Tony However, it was the unveiling of the new temporary McGillick Polaris; Vernon Treweeke Ultrascope 5; Col Jordan Daedalus series 6 and on exhibition gallery a night later, on 21 August, which really floor Knossus II; Dick Watkins October; Robert Rooney Kind-hearted kitchen-garden IV.
