ART + TEXT... Is a Work of Ten Paintings Which ART + TEXT... is a work of ten paintings which include texts in the form of speech bubbles, dialogue boxes and captions, satirising and reviewing some of the conventions and pretensions in local Australian art history. BITCH 142.0 x 98.5cm (variation after Maria Kozic and Tom Roberts) During August and September 1991 Maria Kozic produced a series of billboard installations around Melbourne and other cities. The most controversial pictured herself as 'BITCH', a knowing, self-confident and insolent presence. Tom Roberts presents Madam Pfund as a prominent figure in Melbourne's social and professional life. She had come to Melbourne from Switzerland in 1863 accompanying the wife of Victoria's newly appointed Governer Darling. In 1867 she established 'Oberwyl', a school for young ladies, in Burnette Street, St.Kilda. Roberts painted another portrait of her in 1888. Every great country has its Art Academy 54.0 x 43.0cm (variation after Robert Menzies and Lucy Walker) During the thirties in Melbourne, while Attorney-General for the Victorian State government and (after 1935) the Federal Government, Robert Menzies was a vocal and active proponent for an Australian Royal Academy of Art. His ambition was achieved in 1937 and an inaugaural exhibition opened in 1938, but without Menzies' longed for Royal Charter. The ill-fated and divisive Academy was wound up in 1949 and its funds handed over to the Victorian Artists' Society. Lucy Walker studied at the Gallery School during the 1880s. Her painting 'Cactus' is currently hanging in the Bendigo Regional Art Gallery. A very similar still-life by Rupert Bunny, now in Adelaide, was painted most probably at the same time. Jane Clarke in Golden Summers, 1985 feels the Bunny “is, however, rather more accomplished”. Bunny was offered an associate membership of the Academy (not a fellowship) but shortly after its inception, he publicly refusedto join. Fucked Self-Portrait 90.0 x 65.0cm Antipodean pillow-talk 64.0 x 141.0cm (variation after Charles Blackman, Robert Dickerson, David & Arthur Boyd, Clifton Pugh, John Brack, John Perceval and Dr. Bernard Smith and Lindsay Bernard Hall) The Antipodeans produced their manifesto in 1959 as a response, to what they saw as, the encroachments of European and American abstractions. At the same time they eschewed a nationalistic or homogenous Australian cultural identity. Their pamphlet on the sources and the nature of meaning in art laid particular emphasis on the 'image', which translated as the figure, the landscape, the nude, myth, fantasy, melodrama and social comment. As a 33 year old from England Lindsay Bernard Hall replaced George Folingsby as the Director of the National Gallery and its school from 1892 - 1935. He exhibited decorative nudes and formal indoor subjects with the Victorian Artists' Society from 1893. The fading traces of a neo-classical aestheticism in his work received a respectful if ambivalent response at the time. His paintings hang in the Rooms of Australian Art, at the NGV. Studio Interiors 148.3 x 118.2cm (variation after Albert Tucker and Alice M. E. Bale) By 1943 Albert Tucker had painted some of his bleakest images dealing with aspects of the impact of war round his Jolimont/East Melbourne studio, previously having spent 1941 avoiding military conscription and 1942 enduring it. The emblems and anatomical distortions of the 'Victory girls' and other paintings from the period coalesced into the symbology of his series of Images of Modern Evil. Alice Bale was a student of the NGV Gallery school from 1895 to 1904 and later a friend and admirer of Max Meldrum. With him she co-founded the Twenty Melbourne Painter's Society in 1918 after the Meldrumites' secession from the Victorian Artists' Society. She championed traditional values in art against modernism and her character and intelligence earned her respect even from opponents. Her forte of figures in interiors depicted a self-contained, educated women's world. Since her death in 1955 her estate has established various fellowships and currently funds the A.M.E. Bale Travelling Scholarship. Mute Portrait of David Simpkin 100.0 x 88.0cm Cartesian Doubt 100.5x 122.0cm (variation after Juliana Engberg and Ernest Buckmaster) Juliana Engberg is curator at the Museum of Modern Art at Heide Art gallery. Her text comes from a recent catalogue introduction. Rene Descartes (1596-1650) is usually considered the founder of modern philosophy. He is noted for his invention of co-ordinate geometry, his famous dictum "I think therefore I am" and for his insistence on the separation of mind (or soul) and body. His methedology in philosophy, 'Cartesian doubt' so-called, develops from scepticism in regard to the senses. In 1932 Ernest Buckmaster was awarded the Archibald prize and the current painting won the National Gallery subject prize worth £500 in 1941. Since then it has been in the collection of the NGV, although seldomly hung. A member of what Adrian Lawlor described as "the school of slither", Buckmaster's work is associated with the popular academic 'naturalist' kitsch of the pre- war years. Recently this painting has, at his request, been moved to the office of the Premier, Mr. Kennett, in Treasury Place, Melbourne. Addled Art 75.0 x 65.0cm (variation after Lionel Lindsay and William Dargie) Lionel Lindsay wrote his polemical essay decrying the corruptions of Modernism in 1942. His dominant theme is that modernism in art was symptomatic of a social and cultural decline in the wider world. With its anti-semetic undercurrent the book evokes the White Australia policy of the time and J.S. MacDonald's 'thoroughbred Aryan' pastoralist tradition. Dargie's painting is in the QLD state gallery and was his second portrait of Namatjira, following his Archibald prize winning painting of 1956. Dargie was an Official War Artist with the AIF, head of the NGV Art School from 1946-1953 and a member of the Aboriginal Arts Advisory Committee from 1969-1971. He was knighted in 1970. During the 40's & 50's prints of Namatjira's paintings were among the first cultural contact urban Australians had with Aboriginal Australia. A retrospective 'The Heritage of Namatjira' has recently been held at the National Gallery of Victoria. My Lady’s Rhetoric 57.0 x 47.0 cm (variation after John Dunkley-Smith and Max Meldrum) Since 1982, John Dunkley-Smith, like a number of his contemporaries (Nixon, Tyndall etc) has used a generic title for his works. Related to the Situationists, Dunkley-Smith's statement derives from a reading of Guy Debord's Perspectives for conscious alterations in everyday life. Max Meldrum's painting is in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. It was included as an illustration of his methedologies in his Science of Appearances, 1951. For Meldrum, art was a 'scientifically' based discipline based on colour relationships recorded by the eye in a certain order of tonal proportion and chromatic impression. He was a zealous teacher, sometimes known as the 'mad mullah' but he had an avid following of students. His art and his views of society related directly but his political liberalism set him against the conservative academic institutions. Completing the Picture 113.2 x 81.0cm (variation after Richard Haese and Hilda Rix Nicholas) Richard Haese's Rebels and Precursors, 1983 examines the story of the emergence of Australian modernism during the 1st & 2nd World Wars and beyond. He chronicles the break from Australia's pastoralist traditions, focusing on the political and social preoccupations of the modern artists, their friends and their critics Hilda Rix Nicholas was born in Ballarat, educated in Australia and Europe and lived both here and overseas. She returned to Australia in 1918 after the death-in-action of her husband of 5 weeks. In the years between the wars she continued to travel in Australia and overseas, exhibiting in 52 solo and group shows, 31 of which were in Europe. All works oil on linen, 1993 .

  • The Wood Engravings of Lionel Lindsay
    still• ife• lying images The wood engravings of Lionel Lindsay Heather Lowe Assistant Curator of Prints (1993)* The years from around 1910 to the mid 1930's were marked in Australian art by the swift rise of printmaking as a highly popular art-form. A great number of Australian artists adopted printmaking, in particular etching, as one of their prin- cipal forms of expression, such that the period became known as the "etching- boom". Lionel Lindsay first achieved his reputation as a leader in printmaking in Australia through his etched work, in which he established a personal style and assured technique around 1908. The rapid growth in popularity of printmak- ing had its precedent in France and Eng- land, in the Painter-Etcher movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 100 Australian artists hungrily searched for 0/ 10 information and examples of printmaking techniques and styles, and a sharing of no. knowledge amongst artists from Sydney, ing, v Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth was one ra of the major characteristics of this period. Australian artists shared not only knowl- d eng edge of techniques, but also their tools and home-made printing presses. Artists Woo such as Lionel Lindsay, Sydney Ure 1923.

Australian Art Review Art News Exhibition Reviews Features aARTlook Art Directory Artist Profiles From the Editor Latest Issue Submit Content Homepage FREE Email Update Subscribe About Us Advertising Contact Us Posted: 04 Oct 2010 | By: Patricia Anderson - Editor Clifton Pugh did not disappear into the undergrowth, but on either side of the canyon between the abstractionists of the Sydney scene in the 1950s and 60s and the aggressively narrative painters of Melbourne of the same period, Pugh does seem to have gone missing for years on end. Sally Morrison's biography - nine years in the writing - should put him in the clearing once and for all. His work was more sophisticated, more cerebral and more finely crafted than many of his peers who have ascended the auction room ladder, so it seems completely timely that a heartfelt, finely tuned and exhaustively researched biography by novelist and scientist Sally Morrison should make its appearance now. Morrison had attracted the attention of Patrick White years earlier with her novel Who's Taking You to the Dance? and in 1995 she won the National Book Council's Banjo Award with Mad Meg. Both books exhibit a degree of psychological penetration, which makes her biography of Pugh compelling reading. Morrison became friends with Pugh in his later years; and when he died in 1990, she waited ten years before undertaking a detailed and frank account of his life. Pugh, however, does not appear to be a particularly likeable character.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.

  • Thesis Title
    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.

  • Ii: Mary Alice Evatt, Modern Art and the National Art Gallery of New South Wales
    Cultivating the Arts Page 394 CHAPTER 9 - WAGING WAR ON THE ESTABLISHMENT? II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.

  • 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 change in Australian art history was evident in the development of modes of professional competence modelled on formalism and a tendentious neo-Marxism in transition towards an affectless postmodernism, already strands in international art history as a discipline. So, during the period, seminal Australian art historian Bernard Smith's battle against what he saw as American cultural imperialism was well and truly lost. Young art historians writing on contemporary art from the late 1960s on, including art historians Patrick McCaughey and Terry Smith, were convinced that the centre of world art was now New York. This idea of world art did not, however, diminish the Australian preoccupation with nation, national identity and the position—and therefore the category—of Australian art.‖Rather,‖it‖was‖to‖result‖in‖key‖writings,‖from‖Terry‖Smith’s‖articles‖to‖Paul‖ Taylor’s‖postmodern‖polemics‖in‖Art and Text, all of which above all sought to locate Australian art in relation to international (which largely remained American) art.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War M
    Bold Impressions: A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial Alexandra Fae Walton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, June 2017. © Copyright by Alexandra Fae Walton, 2017 DECLARATION PAGE I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgement, the work presented is entirely my own. Acknowledgements I was inspired to write about the two print collections while working in the Art Section at the Australian War Memorial. The many striking and varied prints in that collection made me wonder about their place in that museum – it being such a special yet conservative institution in the minds of many Australians. The prints themselves always sustained my interest in the topic, but I was also fortunate to have guidance and assistance from a number of people during my research, and to make new friends. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my supervisors: Dr Peter Londey who gave such helpful advice on all my chapters, and who saw me through the final year of the PhD; Dr Kylie Message who guided and supported me for the bulk of the project; Dr Caroline Turner who gave excellent feedback on chapters and my final oral presentation; and also Dr Sarah Scott and Roger Butler who gave good advice from a prints perspective. Thank you to Professor Joan Beaumont, Professor Helen Ennis and Professor Diane Davis from the Australian National University (ANU) for making the time to discuss my thesis with me, and for their advice.
