By the beginning of World War II, Albert Namatjira’s career was well established, thanks in part, to the ongoing friendship with fellow-artist Rex Battarbee, and the support of Pastor FW Albrecht and other missionaries. His works were exhibited around the country in sell-out shows in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane. Despite the isolation of Hermannsburg, the onset of war brought with it new buyers through the army personnel stationed in Alice Springs during this period.1 Palm Valley, part of Namatjira’s mother’s country, was a regular subject for the artist, particularly in the 1940s. Whilst in many examples the artist focuses on the relationship between these towering palms to the expanses of blue skies above or the vast landscape beyond, in this example we see a more intimate setting. A family of tightly grouped palms emerge from a seemingly impenetrable undergrowth, as if silent witnesses to this sacred site. The density of the vegetation is further enhanced by its reflection in the still rockpool below, emphasizing even further the sense of isolation of this place.

    Escape Artists Education

    ESCAPEartists modernists in the tropics education kit INTRODUC TION & H TEAC ERS NOTES Almost two years in development, Escape Artists: Modernists in the Tropics is the first exhibition by Cairns Regional Gallery to tour nationally. In this exhibition, you and your students will see how the tropical north of Australia has influenced Australia’s greatest artists, some of whom you will be familiar with, others less familiar. The artists featured in the exhibition are: • Harold Abbott • Valerie Albiston • Douglas Annand • Yvonne Atkinson • John Bell • Yvonne Cohen • Ray Crooke • Lawrence Daws • Russell Drysdale • Ian Fairweather • John Firth-smith • Donald Friend • Bruce Goold • Elaine Haxton • Frank Hinder • Frank Hodginson • Sydney Nolan • Alan Oldfield • Margaret Olley • John Olsen • Tony Tuckson • Brett Whitely • Fred Williams • Noel Wood The lure of an exotic, untouched, tropical paradise has a tradition in modern art beginning with Gaugin in Tahiti. It was this desire to discover and explore new worlds which attracted these artists to the Far North - a part of Australia like no other they had seen. Here they found a region of extraordinary, abundant natural beauty and a cultural pot pourri of indigenous inhabitants and people from all over the world. This exciting mixture of important artworks was assembled from major private and public collections by Gavin Wilson,curator of the successful Artists of Hill End exhibition at The Art Gallery of News South Wales. Escape Artists provides a significant look at the cultural and historic heritage of North Queensland and the rest of northern Australia. You and your students will find some pleasant surprises among the works in the exhibition.

    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.

This work shows Penleigh Boyd’s accomplished handling of the effects of light and his talent as a colourist, with the shift of delicate blues and purples giving the work a still, calm and contemplative feel. The viewer is anchored by the shoreline in the foreground and the eye floats out over the vista of the Bay, following the jetty on Point King beach, to the subtle horizon line and the glowing clouds. Boyd’s skill with watercolour is clear in this large-scale work, especially the technique of scoring the paper to create the white wave crests breaking along the shore. 5 Malakoff Street, North Caulfield, Vic, 3161 Telephone: (61 3) 9509 9855 Facsimile: (61 3) 9509 4549 Email: [email protected] Website: www.diggins.com.au ABN.19006 457 101 L A U R A I N E · D I G G I N S · F I N E · A R T Theodore Penleigh Boyd was the son of Arthur Merric Boyd (1862 – 1940, artist) and Emma Minnie Boyd (1858 – 1936, artist); brother to William Merric Boyd (1888 – 1959, potter); father to Robin Boyd (1919 – 1971, architect) and uncle to Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd (1920 – 1998, artist).

In an era defined by its novel feats of poetic ambition, modernist sentimental poetry seems inexplicably to regress to the familiar forms and feelings of the nineteenth century. Alongside the modernist proliferation of “new” poetic forms, modernist sentimental poetry has thus been seen as decidedly “old”: an atavistic remnant of an earlier time and place, out of sync with high modernism’s progressive aesthetic vision. This is a foundational rift, which continues to divide the field of poetic modernism. Poets like T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and H.D. are routinely credited with formal theories of poetic innovation. In stark contrast, the so-called “sentimental” poets who comprise this study, figures such as Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sara Teasdale, Genevieve Taggard, and Louise Bogan, have been categorized as conventional lyric poets.

    Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas FLORENCE L. SNOW From a Portrait by Helen Hodge Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas By FLORENCE L. SNOW UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS LAWRENCE *945 COPYRIGHT, 1945, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS All rights reserved. No part of this book may be repro• duced in any form, except by reviewers of the public press, without written permission from the publishers. TO THE MEMORY OF MY SISTER EMILY SNOW PREFACE Kansas has often been called the perfect flowering of the New England conscience. Sometimes this is meant to be a com• pliment and at others it is plainly an insult. Either way I doubt if it is a fact. What we did get from New England, particularly in the days of ''bleeding Kansas/' was the habit of talking, writing and philosophizing about conscience. This gave the impression that we had a very active and painful conscience, though it was frequently only an excuse for talking about ourselves, like an operation. Even after our convalescence from the Civil War we never stopped talking and. writing, despite the fact that when we wanted to point out the scar we could no longer find it. In this way Kansas became the most articulate state in the Union. Whether New England should receive credit (or blame) for the habit is beside the point; the conscience and the language are pure Kansas. However, this is only one explanation. Another is that only in Kansas and New England is the climate so warm, cold, windy, calm, unpredictable and preposterous that it is always a fresh topic of conversation.
