  • 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.

    Illustrating Mobility: Networks of Visual Print Culture and the Periodical Contexts of Modern Australian Writing VICTORIA KUTTAINEN James Cook University The history of periodical illustration offers a rich example of the dynamic web of exchange in which local and globally distributed agents operated in partnership and competition. These relationships form the sort of print network Paul Eggert has characterised as being shaped by everyday exigencies and ‘practical workaday’ strategies to secure readerships and markets (19). In focussing on the history of periodical illustration in Australia, this essay seeks to show the operation of these localised and international links with reference to four case studies from the early twentieth century, to argue that illustrations offer significant but overlooked contexts for understanding the production and consumption of Australian texts.1 The illustration of works published in Australia occurred within a busy print culture that connected local readers to modern innovations and technology through transnational networks of literary and artistic mobility in the years also defined by the rise of cultural nationalism. The nationalist Bulletin (1880–1984) benefited from a newly restricted copyright scene, while also relying on imported technology and overseas talent. Despite attempts to extend the illustrated material of the Bulletin, the Lone Hand (1907–1921) could not keep pace with technologically superior productions arriving from overseas. The most graphically impressive modern Australian magazines, the Home (1920–1942) and the BP Magazine (1928–1942), invested significant energy and capital into placing illustrated Australian stories alongside commercial material and travel content in ways that complicate our understanding of the interwar period. One of the workaday practicalities of the global book trade which most influenced local Australian producers and consumers prior to the twentieth century was the lack of protection for international copyright.

  • How Collaboration and Collectivism in Australia in the Seventies Helped
    A Collaborative Effort: How Collaboration and Collectivism in Australia in the Seventies Helped Transform Art into the Contemporary Era Susan Rothnie Introduction The seventies period in Australia is often referred to as the “anything goes” decade. It is a label that gives a sense of the profusion of anti- establishment modes that emerged in response to calls for social and po- litical change that reverberated around the globe around that time. As a time of immense change in the Australian art scene, the seventies would influence the development of art into the contemporary era. The period‟s diversity, though, has presented difficulty for Australian art historiography. Despite the flowering of arts activity during the seventies era—and proba- bly also because of it—the period remains largely unaccounted for by the Australian canon. In retrospect, the seventies can be seen as a period of crucial impor- tance for Australia‟s embrace of contemporary art. Many of the tendencies currently identified with the contemporary era—its preoccupation with the present moment, awareness of the plurality of existence, rejection of hier- archies, resistance to hegemonic domination, and a sense of a global community—were inaugurated during the seventies period. Art-historically, COLLOQUY text theory critique 22 (2011). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue022/rothnie.pdf 166 Susan Rothnie ░ however, it appears as a “gap” in the narration of Australian art‟s develop- ment which can be explained neither by the modernism which preceded it, nor by postmodernism. In Australia, the seventies saw a rash of new art “movements” emerge almost simultaneously.

  • Conversation with Josh Milani
    Conversation with Josh Milani Marysia Lewandowska: Josh, I am interested in the genealogy of the cultural scene in Brisbane, a city where you were born and where you now run a success- ful gallery. Let’s begin with some general comments relating to what you know of the establishment of the Institute of Modern Art (IMA) in 1975 and how this played a role in what you are doing now. Josh Milani: So in Brisbane, I would say the conditions for contemporary art as we understand it today begin to evolve just before that in the 1960s. The IMA was founded in 1975 under the pressure I suppose of the forces of art, curators, and people within the art ecology at the time. Modernist forces had been at play via the Johnstone Gallery which was showing some of Australia’s key modernists here, and the Contemporary Art Society. Its collapse led to the IMA. ML: That modernist work, what you call modernist culture … who was it driv- en by? By people at UQ, professional people elsewhere? Who was the biggest landlord of the time? I am interested in what impact property relations leave on culture. JM: I don’t know about that early history, that’s a bit too far back for me but there was obviously the Johnstones. Nancy Underhill is a very important figure. There was the Churchers and Jon Molvig. Gertrude Langer and her husband Karl Langer were significant figures. He [Karl] studied architecture under Peter Behrens at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna where they met.

  • HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE in the 1940S
    MEDIA RELEASE 28 May 2015 HALCYON DAYS: HEIDE IN THE 1940s Opening on 20 June 2015, Halcyon Days: Heide in the 1940s celebrates highlights of Heide Museum of Modern Art’s collection from the 1940s, a heady period of extraordinary creative achievement and cultural change in the history of Heide. Throughout the 1940s, John and Sunday Reed’s home, Heide, formed a focal point for some of Australia’s most avant- garde artists, who rejected conventional ways of living and learning and spearheaded the modernist movement in Melbourne. This constellation of rising talent included the young Sidney Nolan, cerebral painter Albert Tucker and his partner Joy Hester, the quiet yet passionate Arthur Boyd and free-spirited John Perceval. Each developed a distinctive practice and came to hold an undisputed place in the canon of Australian art. Such was John and Sunday’s belief in this group that they supported them financially and materially and in some instances formed close attachments to them. As poet Barrett Reid observed, the Reeds provided a ‘total concentration of life’ at Heide, which not only gave rise to unprecedented experimentation and attainment, but witnessed a drama of human relationships. 1 MEDIA RELEASE The 1940s saw the creation of many much-loved Heide icons and the selection displayed in Halcyon Days will include Ned Kelly and St Kilda images by Nolan, some of Hester’s compelling psychological portraits, and surrealist images by Tucker. In addition, a remarkable major portrait group by Boyd makes its debut, a recent donation to the Museum by the Estate of Beverly Brown.

  • Art Books Published in Australia
    1 The Art Book Publishing Industry in Australia Anita Pisch Ask any art historian,1 and they will tell you that it is quite difficult to get books published on art in Australia. Why this should be so in a nation that demonstrates increasing interest in and engagement with the arts is an interesting question, which generates both simple and complex answers. While it may be tempting to dismiss the issue as simply part of the broader challenges faced by the publishing industry as a whole, both in Australia and internationally, this would be to fail to recognise the distinct features and challenges of the art publishing industry as a niche market for a high-quality product which carries specific symbolic and cultural capital.2 In this paper I will briefly examine some of the key issues in contemporary Australian art book publishing, within both a historical and international context. The analysis here of the issues in contemporary Australian art book publishing will be brief, abridged and, somewhat unavoidably, synoptic. The term ‘art’ is fairly narrowly defined and restricted to the visual arts,3 and will not include books on design, fashion or architecture,4 many of which share salient qualities with the art book and sometimes target the same audience.5 I will also exclude books as art (livres d'artistes, or artists books),6 zines, art magazines, almanacs, instruction manuals,7 colouring books, and art ephemera promoting small exhibitions (usually in commercial galleries).8 Art book publishing comprises only a tiny fraction of the publishing industry as a whole, and differs from other areas of the industry in several ways, including high publication costs, target audience, 1 I have done this informally on many occasions and, as an art historian who publishes in the field, I feel qualified to make this general statement.
