In 1974 the Art Association of Australia was founded to act as a professional body representing art historians, critics, curators, artists and art students. Since then we have welcomed our New Zealand colleagues and developed a strong and supportive network for the development of visual culture through our region. The annual conference provides a welcome collegiate environment for presentations, exchanges and important social and professional connections that are the heart of our vibrant industry sector. Thank you to our industry partners, The University of Adelaide and University of South Australia and our major sponsors. It is gratifying to see institutions, colleagues and sponsors rally together in support of such a major undertaking. This year’s conference title Tradition and Transformation invites us to consider the value of our shared past and put forward new discoveries, dreams and possibilities. What a great way to wrap up the year. Nick Mitzevich Director Art Gallery of South Australia The conference theme Tradition and Transformation stems from a challenge offered to the AAANZ in Canberra by the 2009 Keynote speaker Professor Jonathan Mane-Wheoki to look at the changes Indigenous cultures are forging globally and cross culturally. This challenge has been taken up by session convenors who have given shape to twenty four sessions in art and design history and theory, visual culture, aesthetics, architecture, craft and design, curatorship and museology. The richness and diversity of the program points to a vibrant and strong research culture among the AAANZ community. We would also like to thank our partner institution the Art Gallery of South Australia for weaving in Gallery floor talks around the key foci of the program. A special thanks goes to three Keynote Speakers who inject knowledge and wisdom into the proceedings. The wider visual arts community in South Australia are also to be thanked for contributing to an array of pre-conference tours, while the generosity of donors of the postgraduate bursaries enabled a large number of postgraduate researchers to attend the conference and present papers. A University of Adelaide Small Grant resulted in postgraduate researcher and tutor Jenny Kalionis of the School of History and Politics becoming the face behind the conference, and the committee are greatly indebted to Jenny’s energy. We would also like to thank AGSA Manager of Exhibitions, David O’Connor, whose expertise has been invaluable, and the many volunteers who have contributed in a myriad of ways to the program. A/Prof. Catherine Speck Art History, University of Adelaide Chair of the AAANZ Adelaide committee 4 Tradition and Transformation Adelaide 1–4 December 2010 Tradition and Transformation Adelaide 1–4 December 2010 5 Conference CONvenors FOREWORD The 2010 annual AAANZ conference is jointly hosted by Art History at the University of Adelaide, the It was 1990. Gael Newton of the National Gallery of Australia was the President, Julie Ewington was Art Gallery of South Australia and the School of Art, Architecture and Design at the University of South Treasurer and I was the Secretary of the AAANZ. Things were modest. I think I hand-wrote the envelopes Australia. The conference committee is: when we sent out the Journal. There were maybe forty to fifty members. All the records sat in cardboard boxes in my office at ANU and I read of old factional battles and also kind pleasantries as I gave them Assoc Professor Catherine Speck (Chair) some order. Most of the correspondence concerned raising money to pay for the journal — after Australia Art History, University of Adelaide Council funding was withdrawn, this was once something that departments and schools were expected to manage. It was my job to try to sell advertising space in the annual Journal, and then collect the money. A David O’Connor few art specialist bookshops in Sydney and Melbourne supported us and sold the journal. I also had to be Manager, Exhibitions & Public Programs, Art Gallery of South Australia the rent collector. I remember one proprietor telling me that they had not bothered to put the journal out for sale, but I saw it on the shelf myself and went and asked for a cheque there and then. Adjunct Professor Ian North Art History, University of Adelaide / School of Art, Architecture and Design, UniSA The same discussions we have today, about how to engage the art educators, the museum sector, were going on. I remember a conference held at COFA in an old tin shed (or so it seemed), that might have Jenny Kalionis been rebuilt as the Elwynn Lynn Conference Centre somewhat later. There were maybe twenty people AAANZ Conference Assistant, Tutor and PhD student, Art History, University of Adelaide present at the session. Dr Dagmar Eichberger of the ANU took her students up to present Honours papers and that seemed astonishing at the time. There is a different bar now. Post-graduates are completely Maria Zagala integrated in our activities, thanks to their own initiative and that of their energetic supervisors. Associate Curator, Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Art Gallery of South Australia The AAANZ, a member organisation, is not corporate. We don’t run like amazon but we’re certainly Dr Pamela Zeplin expanding. When you consider that we have to compete with well established bodies such as ACUADS as Portfolio Leader, Research Education, Art, Architecture and Design, UniSA well as ICOM and all the professional curatorial groups, gallery societies, the MCA, the National Trust, the Furniture History Society, the list runs forever, something becomes very clear. That 300 people commit Dr Lisa Mansfield to travel several hours by plane to different parts of the region each year indicates that we serve a vital Lecturer, Art History, University of Adelaide need. Art History and its practices really matter; it’s a central part of humanistic research in Australasia. The diversification of the field into labels such as visual arts, visual culture, cultural studies, film theory, The Postgraduate Work with the Experts Workshop is convened by Dr Pamela Zeplin with assistance practice-based research, design history and theory and aesthetics does not really matter. Professionally from Melanie Cooper-Dobbin, tutor and PhD student in Art History. trained art historians wish to meet each other in a congenial setting, listen to completed research as well as stimulating new projects. They are not so partisan as to demand either early modern or 20th century The Pre-Conference Tours are convened by Jenny Kalionis and Melanie Cooper-Dobbin, tutors and PhD papers only. This seems really healthy and productive. We have not split along lines of history or theory, students in Art History. chronology or geography. The AAANZ Conference Bursaries Scheme was managed by Dr Lisa Mansfield. The Conference booklet I have worked with three conference committees now — Brisbane, Canberra and Adelaide. They are the has been edited by Dr James Cooper. Conference volunteers are postgraduate Art History students. stars of the AAANZ. Their dedication, imagination and fund-raising activities enable the membership to come together each year. Most of the work is hidden and we will never know about it.

This year the Treasurer, Donna Brett, worked closely with me to write a grant application to the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL). We were successful, and at the conference we can launch our new web-site, which will make rent collecting a thing of the past.

It is a record of the colourful characters and individuals who have contributed so much to the development of our City. This entertaining booklet paints a picture of a community that is proud of its past and positive about its future; a community that welcomes and embraces people whose luck in life has run out and a community that includes many, very successful businesses and individuals. The Historic South West Corner booklet is a project initiated by the South West Community Network. The Network was instigated and is supported by Adelaide City Council. The Council encourages active engagement of local communities in City life and in making decisions about their neighbourhood. A method of accomplishing this is through the development of local projects such as the production of this booklet. The booklet presents a history of the South West Corner of the City that will inspire people to think of this area as an interesting place to live, work and visit. I hope that you will enjoy reading this exciting, factual and humorous account of how the South West community of the past created a great community spirit of the present.

  • 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.

HOW THE BARR SMITH LIBRARY GOT ITS NAME 1980 sees the fiftieth anniversary of the laying of the founda­ tion stone of the Barr Smith Library by Mary Isobel Barr Smith on 29th September 1930. The building was a gift to the University from her husband, Tom Elder Barr Smith, intended as a monument to his father, Robert, who during his lifetime contributed large sums 6f money for the purchase of books. In its early days the income of the University was small and Council allowed only £150 for the purchase of books each year, as it was difficult to provide much more than enough to pay for period­ icals and the cost of binding; nor was money forthcoming from the public. C.W. Holgate's survey of the chief libraries of Australia published in 1886 noted that the Library of the University of 1)1: Adelaide "has but few gifts of value, and in fact very few gifts at , "' .. all". Robert Barr Smith changed this unfortunate situation when in .!;" 1892 he made the first of his donations, which were to amount to - :;.;,~~ £9000, to be expended in the purchase of books for the Library. ~:i}}~ In appreciation of his liberality, the Council resolved in 1899 that ;'1 - the Library should bear the name of its benefactor. Irij~ The example of Robert Barr Smith had a stimulating influence, and has since been followed by a number of gifts and bequests af great value.

  • ANGAS FAMILY PAPERS PRG 175 Series List John Howard Angas
    ___________________________________________________________________________ ANGAS FAMILY PAPERS PRG 175 Series List John Howard Angas (1823-1904) was the second son of George Fife Angas. He arrived in South Australia in September 1843, having been appointed to manage his father's estates in the colony. He settled at Tarrawatta near Angaston where he established a successful pastoral business and built a fine homestead called Collingrove. The purchase of further land and livestock soon made him one of the largest landowners and foremost stud-breeders in the colony. In 1871 he entered Parliament as the member for Barossa later becoming a member of the Legislative Council for the Central District from 1887-94. His social, religious and philanthropic interests were also extensive and influential, and he contributed generously towards the establishment of many colonial institutions, including the University of Adelaide. He left an estate worth some £800,000.1 Susanne Collins Angas, the wife of John Howard Angas, was the daughter of Richard Collins, a corn-factor of Bowden, near Manchester. Her marriage to J.H. Angas took place in England in May 1855. She returned with her husband to live at Collingrove, but ill-health caused them to return to England for some years during which time a son and daughter were born. She died in April 1910, six years after the death of her husband.2 Charles Howard Angas (1861-1928) was the son of J.H. Angas. After being educated at St. Peter's College Adelaide, and in England, he gradually assumed responsibility for his father's vast properties and interests. He too became prominent as a stock-breeder, most notably with Lincoln sheep, while his business interests included chairmanship of the Willowie Land and Pastoral Association and the S.A.

Source: Googlemaps, 2018 Colonel Light’s discovery and subsequent exploration of the area around Lyndoch Vale (1837 & 1839) Colonel William Light explored the area around Lyndoch on three separate occasions and sketched a number of different landscapes. The nominated tree was sketched during his first expedition to the area and the following is a brief description of that journey based on diary entries made by Light each day. On 11 December 1837, Light, Fisher, Jas Fisher, Morphett, Samuel Stephens and others set out from Adelaide to explore the countryside to the north- east of the fledgling city with the aim of identifying a northerly means of communication between Adelaide and the Murray River. After travelling about 18 miles over the plains in a north-north-easterly direction, they made camp on the bank of a river, later identified by Dutton as the Para River. The following morning the party commenced travel again at 6am and journeyed across a boggy flat and up some low hills. By 10:30am they had reached the Mete Watte River (Gawler River), where they lunched until 3pm before following the river for a further 3 miles and establishing camp for the night.1 The party set out again at 6am on 13 December and travelled in a north-easterly direction over ‘high undulating ground’ for approximately 6 miles. They then descended into a little plain where they stopped at 9:30am beside a ‘small river running in a tortuous form from the eastward’ (probably the North Para River).
