  • Education Resource About the Artist
    EDUCATION RESOURCE ABOUT THE ARTIST Lloyd Rees was born in Brisbane on 17 March 1895. He was well known for his sketches of Brisbane at the time and studied at the Central Technical College. Rees moved to Sydney in 1917 to work for Sydney Ure Smith at the Smith & Julius Studio, one of Australia’s earliest advertising agencies to feature art works and colour printing, which provided regular work for artists and set new standards for the advertising industry. Ure Smith encouraged and commissioned Rees to draw the architecture and landscapes of Sydney. In this exhibition, you can see his observations of Brisbane buildings, streets and landscapes, and his fascination with the effect of light on his subjects, which continued throughout his career. In his later years, Lloyd Rees’s works became more abstract as he began to focus specifically on sources and effects of light. Despite his rapidly failing eyesight, Rees continued to paint, claiming that a benefit of its deterioration was that he was able to look directly at the sun. Key ideas to explore • Portraiture • Draughting • Architecture • Illustration • Drawing • Urban scenery • Landscape • Scale Lloyd Rees as a young man / Image courtesy: Fryer Library, University of Queensland DID YOU KNOW?

  • Art Training in Brisbane to 1991
    Chapter 2 Those who started, those who stayed, those who departed, those who strayed: Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Preamble Throughout the second half of the twentieth century the higher education sector in Australia went through a series of reorganisations culminating in the Dawkins Report 1988 which recommended that the various technical colleges, teachers’ colleges and colleges of advanced education be incorporated into a system of multi-campus universities. Negotiations were put underway so that on 1 July 1991 the Queensland Conservatorium of Music amalgamated with Griffith University. The art, craft and design courses and students of the Queensland College of Art, from Associate Diploma level on, also joined Griffith University and on 1 January 1992 an independent history of 110 years was brought to a close. The history of the college over this time also reflected a series of restructures to mirror perceived educational needs and the political agendas of Queensland governments. The Brisbane School of Arts was founded in 1881 and incorporated into the Brisbane Technical College in 1884. As a result of the Technical Instruction Act of 1908, the suburban technical colleges at South Brisbane and West End were merged with Brisbane to form the Central Art training in Brisbane to 1991 Glenn R. Cooke Technical College (CTC) in 1909. When the Queensland Institute of Technology was established in 1965 on the same site, the CTC and its Art Branch retained their independence. In 1972 the Art Branch separated from the CTC to become the College of Art (CoA) which, two years later moved from George Street to purpose- built premises shared with the Seven Hills TAFE and was formally renamed the Queensland College of Art (QCA) in 1982.

  • J.J. Hilder and the Languages of Art J.J
    J.J. Hilder and the Languages of Art J.J. Hilder and the Languages of Art Kerry Heckenberg Writing in a book published in 1918 in honour of Jesse Jewhurst Hilder (1881–1916), shortly after the artist’s tragic early death from tuberculosis, Bertram Stevens declared: Australia may well be proud of Jesse Hilder, for he is entirely her own by birth and training. His art was intuitive; what instruction he received, and the inspiration he got from other men’s work, helped him but little towards self-development. His water-colours show the strong individual note of the true romantic artist; they are not like anything done previously in Australia or elsewhere.1 Born and educated in colonial Queensland and forced by family circumstances to work in a bank from the age of seventeen, Hilder had few opportunities for a traditional artistic training. These facts underlie Stevens’ pronouncement and have led others to posit alternative explanations for the artist’s style. For example, D.H. Souter argued in 1909 that: ‘J.J. drew his inspiration from Mother Nature direct, and studied sea and sky with a wonder tempered by such art publications as happened to drift his way.’ In a subsequent commemorative volume published in 1966, on the fiftieth anniversary of Hilder’s death, one of his sons, Brett Hilder, presents an elaborate genealogy of Hilders with artistic talent in order to justify his claim of a genetic basis for his father’s art. Another commentator at this time, Edgar A. Ferguson, writing in the Brisbane Courier-Mail under the headline ‘Great Queensland Painter Honoured’, suggests that the environment must have played a role.
