    Senate Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee 2005-06 Supplementary Budget Hearings ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General QUESTION: PM1 Senator Crossin asked: “..How many times this year has a government member represented the Governor- General and given a message on his behalf?” QUESTION: PM2 Senator Crossin asked: “… At Uluru—Ayers Rock. It was the 20th anniversary of the hand back. You probably do not have the answer with you but can you take on notice who invited the Governor-General to that?” QUESTION: PM3 Senator Crossin asked: “…Can you also please take on notice for me whom his message was given to and why?” QUESTION: PM4 Senator Crossin asked: “In an instance where the Governor-General cannot attend, is there any protocol that suggests that the message should be given to the House of Representatives member to read out rather than to some other member of parliament? …. Could you have a look at that, please, and answer this question: if the government is the body issuing the invitation and the Governor-General is unable to go, is it custom and practice that the local House of Representatives member reads the Governor-General’s message rather than anybody else?” Response: The response to Senator Crossin’s questions PM1 to PM4 is set out below. There is no written protocol or guideline for how the Governor-General is to be represented at an event or function that he is unable to attend. Messages are not sent to the Governor or Administrator of a State or Territory unless it was they who had invited the Governor-General.

  • 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 advances in industrialisation, science, technology, philosophy, politics, urban growth and the impact of the First World War had enormous effects on society worldwide. Modernism in the arts is characterised by a shift in imagery and the accepted notions of perspective, composition and colour, along with the development of materials and techniques. In Australia, modern art tends to refer to the post-war period until the mid 1960s, which encompasses a diverse range of artists and their practices. Australian modernism is also largely about looking in; examining Australia as a culture; and celebrating what is relevant to our own society. Several artists embraced an Australian vernacular in their creative work, establishing a quintessential idiom, perhaps most significantly Russell Drysdale whose isolated outback figures and desert landscapes became ingrained in the perception of Australian identity. Other artists to famously establish the Australian story through now iconic visual representation include Arthur Boyd, Donald Friend, Sidney Nolan and Albert Tucker. Important contemporaries of Drysdale were Donald Friend and William Dobell.

MARGARET PRESTON, NSW orchids 1925 JOHN CRUTHERS rococo pop pty ltd 6. LINA BRYANS The house in the trees oil on canvas 61 x 50 cm $4,000 - $6,000 This lovely painting by Melbourne artist Lina is quite similar to one sold at Menzies in December 2015. Here’s a link to my notes – Menzies December 2015 - Lina Bryans Lot 130 The current painting is the same format and I suspect the same period – the late 1950s. It’s being sold from the estate of the daughter of AA Phillips, who was the cousin of painter Emanuel Phillips Fox and a well known cultural commentator from the 1940s. Phillips knew artists and bought carefully and with a good eye. Lots 7, 8 and 9 are also his. He also owned a companion painting by fellow modernist Arnold Shore, which showed the same orange building from a different angle. It’s be- lieved the house was Shore’s beach house, and that he and other artists stayed there over weekends, painting. Shore’s work was unfortunately bowed quite badly and consigned to Lawson’s last week. But Lina’s picture has survived well and shows her bold and expressive approach to the landscape. The foliage and grass are especially strong, while she has scratched lines with the end of her brush to accentuate the trunks of the trees. It’s more regular and less ecstatic than the previous work, also of trees, but it shows her in top form.

The painting was described by Lionel Lindsay, then Herald art critic as ‘a fine piece of modeling, with the russet and green-grey colour scheme suggesting melancholy in the brooding face of the man’. In 1929 Constance Parkin won the NGV travelling scholarship, enabling her to spend two years studying at the Royal Academy in London and the Andre Lhote School in Paris. Immediately upon her return to Melbourne in 1933, she set about preparing for her first solo exhibition. Parkin was also to marry Eric Stokes later that same year. For that exhibition she painted a portrait of Eric which she entitled In a Churchyard. She was inspired to produce a work which would reflect the influence of the Italian renaissance painters she had been so memorably and delightfully confronted with on her recent stay in Europe.

  • 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.
