    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

  • Reputations on the Line in Van Diemen's Land
    REPUTATIONS ON THE LINE IN VAN DIEMEN’S LAND: a dissertation on the general theme of the Rule of Law as it emerged in a young penal colony with particular emphasis on the law of defamation by ROSEMARY CONCHITA LUCADOU-WELLS LLB., (Queensland), B.Ed., (Tasmania), MA., (Murdoch), PhD., (Deakin) This thesis is presented for the degree of Master of Laws of Murdoch University, 2012. I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Rosemary Conchita Lucadou-Wells ABSTRACT This research focuses on the development of the jurisprudence of the infant colony of Van Diemen’s Land now known as Tasmania, with particular interest on the law of defamation. During the first thirty years of this British penal colony its population was subject to changes. There were the soldiery, who provided the basis of government headed by a Lieutenant Governor, the indigenous people, the convicts, and gradually an influx of settlers who came enthused by governmental promises of grants of land. In addition to these free settlers there were a selection of convicts who, under a process of something akin to manumission under Roman Law, became upon completion of their sentence, eligible for freedom and possibly a grant of land. There developed a spirit of competition amongst the settlers, each wanted to become more successful than the others. The favourite means of distinguishing oneself was the uttering or publication of damaging words against a person who was perceived to be a rival.

  • 13.0 Remaking the Landscape
    12 Chapter 13: Remaking the Landscape 13.0 Remaking the landscape 13.1 Research Question The Conservatorium site is located within one of the most significant historic and symbolic landscapes created by European settlers in Australia. The area is located between the sites of the original and replacement Government Houses, on a prominent ridge. While the utility of this ridge was first exploited by a group of windmills, utilitarian purposes soon became secondary to the Macquaries’ grandiose vision for Sydney and the Governor’s Domain in particular. The later creations of the Botanic Gardens, The Garden Palace and the Conservatorium itself, re-used, re-interpreted and created new vistas, paths and planting to reflect the growing urban and economic importance of Sydney within the context of the British empire. Modifications to this site, its topography and vegetation, can therefore be interpreted within the theme of landscape as an expression of the ideology of colonialism. It is considered that this site is uniquely placed to address this research theme which would act as a meaningful interpretive framework for archaeological evidence relating to environmental and landscape features.1 In response to this research question evidence will be presented on how the Government Domain was transformed by the various occupants of First Government House, and the later Government House, during the first years of the colony. The intention behind the gathering and analysis of this evidence is to place the Stables building and the archaeological evidence from all phases of the landscape within a conceptual framework so that we can begin to unravel the meaning behind these major alterations.

  • 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.

  • Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era a B Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era I
    Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era A B Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era i A State Library of NSW & Newcastle Art Gallery partnership exhibition Sponsored by Noble Resources International Australia Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era iii FOREWord The State Library of NSW is delighted to be presenting this exhibition, Treasures of Newcastle from the Macquarie Era, in partnership with Newcastle Art Gallery. The discovery of the Wallis album in a cupboard in Ontario, Canada, was part of the impetus for this stunning exhibition. The album brilliantly depicts the early European settlement of Newcastle, or Coal River as it was then known. This treasured heirloom is Captain James Wallis’ personal record of his time in NSW —clearly a high point in his career as a British colonial officer. What is so special about the album is that it includes original watercolours and drawings which show how interested he was in this new country and in its people. He made friends with some local Indigenous Awakabal people and painted them from life, adding their names. In addition to laying the foundations for the city and port which Newcastle became, Wallis was a patron of art and craft. He commissioned paintings and engravings by convict artists and had the incomparably wonderful Collector’s Chest made as a gift for Governor Macquarie. Returning to Newcastle for the first time in 195 years, thanks to support from Noble Resources International Australia and the partnership between the Newcastle Art Gallery and the State Library of NSW, the Macquarie Collector’s Chest is a marvellous centrepiece of this exhibition which has been expertly brought together by Emeritus Curator Elizabeth Ellis.

Design graphique : www.longisland.fr Dossier pédagogique SOMMAIRE 03 Introduction 06 Anne Dangar en 10 mots 10 Chronologie 14 Pistes pédagogiques 19 Glossaire 23 Bibliographie 25 Informations pratiques 2 INTRODUCTION De récentes expositions (Cubism & Australian Art, Heide Museum of Modern Art, 2009, à Melbourne, et Sydney Moderns, Art Gal- lery of New South Wales, 2013, à Sydney) ont révélé l’importance d’Anne Dangar dans le développement du cubisme en Australie durant les années 1930-1940. Sa participation à l’Académie André Lhote, suivie d’une collabo- ration de 21 ans avec l’artiste et théoricien du cubisme Albert Gleizes, ont fait d’Anne Dangar une figure essentielle de la rela- tion entre l’avant-garde française et le modernisme australien. La correspondance qu’elle entretient toute sa vie durant avec son amie Grace Crowley installée en Australie montre qu’elle lui envoyait régulièrement des leçons et exercices pratiques sur les théories de Gleizes : Grace les intégra à ses cours entre 1932 et 1937 dans l’école qu’elle avait fondée avec Rah Fizelle. « [J]’ai vu de très très beaux dessins à la plume et gouaches de Monsieur Gleizes. Des gammes de couleurs sombres et profondes ; quelle puissance, souplesse et délicatesse ! Son travail est de plus en plus beau. » L’exposition du Musée de Valence présente les poteries d’Anne Dangar à la lumière des conceptions d’Albert Gleizes sur le retour à la terre et la promotion de l’artisanat.
