New Century Antiquarian Books Catalogue 74 Late Spring 2013 new century antiquarian books catalogue 74 late spring 2013 [1] BOSTOCK, Cecil W. Cameragraphs of the Year 1924. A Souvenir of the First Exhibition of the Australian Salon of Photography. Sydney, Harringtons, n.d. but 1924. Quarto, pp. 48 (chiefly photographic plates) + tipped-in frontispiece; an excellent copy in the original cloth. $185 EDITION LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES. The Sydney Camera Circle was behind the formation of the annual Australian Photography Salon in 1924 and 1926. Bostock, a leading figure in photography circles, designed the catalogues for both exhibitions, both of which also included lengthy critical reviews by Harold Cazneaux. Only the 1924 and 1926 salons were afforded substantial catalogues; it was not until the 1940s and 1950s that elaborate publications drawn from the Australian Photography Salon of 1947 and 1957 were produced, this time by the ubiquitous Oswald Ziegler. [2] BOSTOCK, Cecil W. Cameragraphs 1926. Selections from the Second Exhibition of the Australian Salon of Photography. Sydney, Harringtons, n.d. but 1926. Quarto, tipped-in frontispiece and 48 pages of photographic plates; a trace of silverfishing on the endpapers and marks of ownership (see below) but a very good copy overall in original cloth. $185 Extremely scarce: unlike the first selection of 1924, the second is without edition statement and was probably issued in larger numbers than the first volume. The present copy is, however, ONE OF THE RARE COPIES IN ORIGINAL CLOTH – most appear to have been issued in wrappers. This is also an appealing association copy with the label of the Melbourne Camera Club and their small an inoffensive stamp on the endpapers and in the margins of a few text leaves. [3] CATO, Jack. The Story of the Camera in Australia. Melbourne, Georgian House, 1955. Quarto, pp. [ii] (recto blank, verso statement of limitation), xvi, 188 (last blank) + 39 leaves of plates; fine in original publisher’s chocolate morocco, dark red topstain, with like dustwrapper. $385 RARE: THE DELUXE ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION, limited to 100 numbered and signed copies. This specially-bound, numbered and signed deluxe issue is rare beyond its limitation. The Georgian House catalogue for 1960 notes that “A few copies available in full leather binding at £12/12/-. Prospectus available.” [4] CAZNEAUX, Harold. The Australian Native Bear Book. Sydney, Art in Australia, 1930.

[7] [CAZNEAUX] BROKEN HILL PROPRIETARY COMPANY LIMITED. Fifty Years of Industry and Enterprise 1885 – 1935. Melbourne, J.T. Picken & Sons [for Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd], 1935. Large quarto, pp. 168, with photographic illustrations throughout; fine in original limp chocolate morocco, the front board lettered in embossed vivid red, all edges gilt. $185 THE DELUXE PRESENTATION ISSUE of the Jubilee Number of the B.H.P. Review, or annual report to shareholders. A finely produced and elaborate publication, it is notable for the fine photographs by Harold Cazneaux of the “various operations” of the company. Most of the photographs are in a straightforward conservative documentary style, suited to the publication and to its audience, but many also show a strong modernist influence that lifts them well above the purely commercial. The ordinary issue of this piece was in wrappers; this deluxe issue is extremely scarce. [8] CAZNEAUX, Harold. Three illustrated gift booklets. Sydney, Art in Australia, 1928 – 1931. Three pieces, small quarto and quarto, illustrations throughout (most tipped-in); original wrappers, fine. $330 An excellent group of these illustrated gift books largely illustrated by Cazneaux’s photographs. Comprising: i. Sydney Streets. Written by Charles H. Bertie. Small quarto, pp. [24], with woodcut illustration on the title-page by Margaret Preston, and ten tipped-in plates (four photographic studies by Cazneaux, reproductions of etchings, watercolours, and oils by Warner, Goodchild, and Moore); original orange leather-grain card wrappers with flaps, woodcut (by Margaret Preston?) on front wrapper. Sydney, Art in Australia, 1928. ii. Sydney Harbour. Photographs by H. Cazneaux.

Decorations by Elaine Haxton. Sydney, Ure Smith, [1947]. Quarto, p. 64, with photographic illustrations throughout, decorations by Elaine Haxton throughout; very good in the original blue-grey cloth, Elaine Haxton decoration on the front board, decorated end- papers by Haxton, with little edge-worn dustwrapper. $45 An important documentation of Australian interior decoration of the era. The numerous photographs of Helen Blaxland’s flower arrangements are by Olive Cotton and Max Dupain. The photographs are taken in appropriate domestic contexts – one for instance has Dobell’s “Blue Boy” in the background! This is the second edition (first 1946); Blaxland’s “complete” flower pieces was published in 1948, with photographs by Dupain and Athol Smith. A version of Blaxland’s Flower Pieces was also published in Ure Smith’s “Miniature Series” in circa 1949. [10] DUPAIN, Max. Max Dupain Photographs. Introduction by Hal Missingham. Sydney, Ure Smith Pty. Limited, 1948. Quarto, pp. 12 + 26 leaves of plates; internally fine and clean, original contrasting cloth with a few marks, lacking dustwrapper. $1650 Extremely scarce: the edition was LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES, SIGNED BY DUPAIN, but is rare beyond that limitation. The volume comprises reproductions of 51 photographs, Dupain’s self-selected “best work since 1935”, all full-page except for “The Meat Queue” which is double-page. The volume includes the first published version of the now iconic “The Sunbaker”. “The images and text give priority to the Documentary spirit. It was the second only such publication on a photographer as an artist since Kauffmann’s 1919 monograph… The surrealist works and form studies of the mid-1930s were excluded as Dupain had dropped the fashion and advertising work from his studio. The monograph also contained ‘Some Notes about Photography’, one of Dupain’s earliest efforts at sustained critical writing…” (Gael Newton, Shades of Light, Sydney and Canberra, 1988, p. 125). [11] DUPAIN, Max, and John THOMPSON. Soul of a City: the City of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Sydney, Ziegler, n.d., circa 1960. Quarto, pp. 80, with photographic illustrations throughout, some in colour; one margin with a mechanical crease, excellent in original boards with dustwrapper. $125 A handsome photobook by the pre-eminent photographer of his generation in Australia and, arguably, the most prolific Australian practitioner of the genre. This substantial and large-format promotional volume was initially produced in about 1950 for the Council of the City of Sydney. The volume was much expanded over the next decade or so, and this version with text by John Thompson, design by J.S. Ostoja, and a preface by the Lord Mayor, Alderman H.F. Jensen (Lord Mayor 1957–1965), is one of those subsequent editions. As often with popular publications by Ziegler, there are no details of publication. [12] DUPAIN, Max. Georgian Architecture in Australia. With some examples of buildings of the post-Georgian period. Sydney, Ure Smith, 1963. Large quarto, pp. 148, with photographic illustrations throughout; original boards with dustwrapper. $110 First edition: photography by Max Dupain, architectural commentary and notes by Morton Herman, social histories of New South Wales and Tasmania by Marjorie Barnard and Daniel Thomas. [13] [DUPAIN] SEIDLER, Harry. Australia Square. Text prepared by the architect Harry Seidler. Photographs by Max Dupain. Book designed by Harry Williamson. Sydney, Horwitz Publications, 1969. Oblong quarto, pp. 48, photographic illustrations throughout (some coloured); light general wear, very good in original light card wrappers. $110 First edition: a promotional or corporate relations publication produced for the developers of the Australia Square complex, Sydney, with Dupain’s fine atmospheric architectural photographs.

    "1 The Powerhouse Museum: an exhibition archive 1988-2018 Exhibitions developed by and/or displayed at the Powerhouse Museum, the Observatory, the Mint, the Hyde Park Barracks, the Powerhouse (now Museum) Discovery Centre and online from 1988, when the Powerhouse opened its doors in its new Ultimo location, to 2018. Abbreviations: PHM Powerhouse Museum MNT The Mint Museum HPB The Hyde Park Barracks HB Harwood Building (previously Stage One) OBS The Sydney Observatory PDC Powerhouse (now Museum) Discovery Centre WP Web-based Project AMOL Australian Museums and Galleries Online TR Travelling exhibition PP Powerhouse publication EP External publication Preface From its original establishment in the 1880s to the present day, the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, previously under different names and now known as MAAS, has proudly and diligently exhibited different aspects of its outstanding collection. The following list seeks to provide a record of exhibitions from the opening of the new Powerhouse Museum venue in Ultimo in March 1988 through the 30 subsequent fruitful years. The list also documents exhibitions in associated venues including the Sydney Observatory, for some years the Hyde Park Barracks and the Mint Museum, as well as touring exhibitions. Many years of rigorous planning preceded the 1988 opening of the Powerhouse Museum, which was heralded as the most important cultural development in Sydney since the opening of the Opera House, and a major event in Australia’s bicentennial year. A museum for us all, a museum of creativity, curiosity and community, the Powerhouse Museum set out to explore the interrelationship of science, art and people in an Australian context.

  • 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.

  • 1 Curating Photography in Australia Dr Daniel
    Curating Photography in Australia Dr Daniel Palmer (Monash University) & Dr Martyn Jolly (ANU) This paper derives from some early research into the various forces currently influencing photography curating in Australian art galleries. We are especially interested in new technologies such as the internet, but more generally the protean nature of the medium itself. Naturally, to better understand the present, we start with a few glimpses of the past. The Pre-History Although the institutional collecting and curating of photography didn’t begin in earnest until the 1970s, in the five or so decades before then the powerful idea of collecting photographs was intermittently discussed, at various levels of institutional authority, with various degrees of vigour. At the end of the First World War, the amateur photographic magazine the Australasian Photo Review called for a ‘national collection of Australian photographic records’. The Mitchell Library was one of several who responded positively to this idea, even suggesting a list of twelve different categories of photographs which amateurs could take for a future repository. However the librarians didn’t follow through on their initial positive noises and collections failed to materialise. Thirty years later, at the end of the Second World War, the idea of a national collection was raised again. Contemporary Photography devoted an entire issue to the new sharp bromide enlargements Harold Cazneaux had made of his Pictorialist negatives of Old Sydney, and declared that they ‘would be a valuable acquisition for the Mitchell Library or Australian Historical Societies.’ However, once more the library failed to follow through, and Cazneaux’s photographs remained uncollected.

  • White Australia’ in the Darkroom: 1915–41
    2 ‘WHITE AUSTRALIA’ IN THE DARKROOM: 1915–41 In his review of the 1922 Photographic Society of New South Wales (NSW) exhibition for the Australasian Photo Review, critic Alek Sass alluded to some of the incongruities associated with Australian–Japanese photographic relations in the interwar period. While praising the two Japanese exhibitors, Sass commented wryly that their participation in the local photography scene ran counter to the racially exclusionary aims of Australian immigration policy: By way of diversion, the White Australia policy in the dark-room seems to be in danger; I refer to the work of Messrs. K. Ishida and K. Yama. They have eyes to see and things to say, those men … Very thoughtful work, gentlemen.1 Kiichiro Ishida and Ichiro Kagiyama were among the approximately 300 Japanese living in NSW during this period.2 These two men were active members of the Photographic Society of NSW and regularly exhibited and published their work alongside leading Australian photographers at a time when the ‘White Australia’ policy was testing diplomatic relations with Japan. Sass’s review and the exhibition itself highlight how the political and personal photographic relations between Australia and Japan tell quite 1 Alek Sass, ‘Old Friends and New: A Ramble through the Exhibition of Camera Pictures by the Photographic Society of New South Wales’, Australasian Photo Review 29, no. 11 (1922): 356. 2 There was an increase in Japanese residents in NSW from 126 (118 male and seven female) in 1911 to 308 (289 male and 19 female) in 1921, largely due to the growth of Japanese merchants in Sydney (H.A.
