HANRAHAN, Barbara (1939-1991) PRG 961 Series List __________________________________________________________________ HANRAHAN, Barbara (1939-1991) PRG 961 Series List Described as one of Adelaide's finest writers and artists, Barbara Hanrahan was born at Thebarton in 1939. Her father died when she was only one year and one day old, so she grew up with her Mother, Grandmother and little Great Aunt who was a Downs Syndrome victim. In her own words "... it was a life cocooned by these three women ... we lived in an old part of Adelaide, surrounded by scabbed asphalt footpaths and old cedar trees dropping their berries. It was lovely to grow up there; now, looking back, it seems with all its ugliness and ordinariness a paradise place." The young Barbara studied art teaching at Adelaide Teachers' College; her career began in 1960 with teaching three days a week at Elizabeth Girls' Technical School and two days at Strathmont Girls' Technical School. When the Printmaking Department was established at the South Australian School of Art she enrolled for evening classes and was immediately captivated by this art form. In order to progress and express her individuality she needed to break away from her beloved Adelaide, so she sailed for London in 1963. There she studied at the London Central School of Art where her work developed rapidly. Whilst supporting herself through teaching appointments in England, her art was featured in more and more exhibitions and began to sell. Barbara was able to return on a visit to Adelaide, but she was in London when her Grandmother died in 1968. This bereavement had a shocking impact on Barbara who said ... "that death was what caused me without conscious planning to begin writing". That writing turned into "The Scent of Eucalyptus", a semi-autobiographical memoir of her childhood published in 1973. The success of this book, which became synonymous with home for many South Australians overseas, led to public expectation for more. Before her premature death in 1991 she had written thirteen novels, two collections of stories, selected and illustrated a superb limited edition of John Shaw Neilson's poetry, and continued to produce an enormous amount of outstanding art which was presented at many one- woman and group exhibitions in Australia and overseas.

  • Barbara Hanrahan, Printmaker
    fi PRINTMAKER ALISON CARROLL INTRODUCTION I pulled down the handle, the stone went under the press . and I peeled the paper off to see my image reverced. I held all the shadowy crayon lines and the crisp lines of the pen on a piece of paper in my hand. Then I inked up again with the roller-not.ne print, but several . all the time keeping the stone damp. The creamy limestone surface v'as so sensitive, it seemed a living thing. Night swooped over the old building; Miss Dixon was teaching Needlework down the corridor, but in the Printmaking Room I found a new world.r Barbara Hanrahan's first experiences of 'zinc and copper and acicl, wood and stone and ink'2 began over twenty five years' commitment to the various printmaking media. This book reproduces but a small proportion of the images made since 1960, though the selection focusses on the major themes and irnages as well as on the physical explorations of Hanrahan's prints. The book also traces the three clearest periods of Hanrahan's art: her early developmenr, her first major phase of printmaking from 1963 untll 1967 , and her second, since 1975. Hanrahan's art is highly individual, private and personalized; it has been remarkably consistent in this over the years, despite great changes in the art wodd generally. It is opportune that her work becomes more easily accessible through this book at a time when the art world is refocussing on the individual, the private and the personal-as well as on the physical process of making art.
