Philippe Mora at his best." Piotr Czerkawski, Film Critic Wroclaw “..there is a genuine heart and soul to the film that is something of a passion project for Mora.” Laurence Boyce Screen Daily “The creation here (of Lord Steinway) is definitely a masterpiece.” Anna Tatarska FRED Radio, The Festival Insider “Mora’s films break all conventions, combine different styles and are nearly always saturated with rebellious, surrealistic humor.” Adam Kruk Film Critic, New Horizons “Mora tells perhaps one of his most personal stories to date as he examines art and modernism. Mora, who casual fans would most likely know from such films as Communion and cult classic The Return of Captain Invincible, unsurprisingly does not tell the tale with any regard for the norms of convention..” Screen International “Philippe Mora…French Australian director legend.” Der Spiegel May 2013 3 SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM This story of Modernism, muses and the role of sexuality in art are told by famed art critic Lord Steinway. When a soccer player, confronts Steinway as his son, the story takes a modernist twist itself. This comedy hit at the 2013 New Horizons International Film Festival takes the form of a hybrid of fact and fiction about Lord Steinway, the “Method” art critic, making his television show THE EPIC OF CIVILIZATION.

  • Thesis Title
    Creating a Scene: The Role of Artists’ Groups in the Development of Brisbane’s Art World 1940-1970 Judith Rhylle Hamilton Bachelor of Arts (Hons) University of Queensland Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts) Melbourne State College A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of English, Media Studies and Art History ii Abstract This study offers an analysis of Brisbane‘s art world through the lens of artists‘ groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists‘ groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane‘s art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine‘ and ‗provincial‘ nature of Brisbane‘s art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city‘s main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the Royal Queensland Art Society, the Half Dozen Group of Artists, the Younger Artists‘ Group, Miya Studios, St Mary‘s Studio, and the Contemporary Art Society Queensland Branch provided critical forms of institutional support for artists. Brisbane‘s art world began to take shape in 1887 when the Queensland Art Society was founded, and in 1940, as the Royal Queensland Art Society, it was still providing guidance for a small art world struggling to define itself within the wider network of Australian art.

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

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.

Primarily a figurative painter, his works responded to the world around him and his own life experiences, and they often reflected critically on society. During his career he played an active role in art politics, particularly in the 1940s, writing influential articles about the direction of art in Australia. He also held prominent positions within the art community, including President of the Contemporary Art Society in the late 1940s and again in the 1960s. Tucker grew up during the Depression and began his career as a young artist in the late 1930s, in the years leading up to the outbreak of World War II. At this time, his world was defined by financial insecurity, social inequality and war, and these concerns became the catalyst for much of his painting.

  • Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia Ll: European Preludes and Parallels Cubism and Australian Art from 1940 Lesley
    Diploma Lecture Series 2011 Art and Australia ll: European Preludes and Parallels Cubism and Australian art from 1940 Lesley Harding 8 / 9 June 2011 Lecture summary: This lecture will consider the impact of the revolutionary and transformative movement of Cubism on Australian art from the 1940s to the present day. Described in 1912 by French poet and commentator Guillaume Apollinaire as ‘not an art of imitation, but one of conception’, Cubism irreversibly altered art’s relationship to visual reality. ‘I paint things as I think them, not as see them’, Picasso said. By its very nature, Cubism is characterised by variation and change. Although there was no cubist movement in Australia per se, its appearance in Australian art parallels its uptake and re-interpretation by artists internationally. By viewing Cubism as a set of stylistic and conceptual discoveries, rather than as a style defined by a particular period, we can trace the adaptation and evolution of cubist ideas and influences over successive decades and uncover its ongoing relevance to Australian art. In the early years, an interest in Cubism signaled a desire to be modern, a vanguard position taken against the parochial predominance of landscape painting in Australia at that time. While early Cubism broke down the pictorial subject, resulting in fragmentary images with multiple viewpoints and overlapping planes, the later inclusion of collage elements such as newsprint and wallpaper into paintings (often referred to as Synthetic Cubism) was the beginning of the idea that real objects could be incorporated into artworks, which opened up new possibilities for the treatment of reality in art.
