De Maistre’s works are complex in origins and intricate in construction. Mentor to the young Francis Bacon, De Maistre remains one of Australia’s most influential and enigmatic artists, whose unique contribution to the development of modern art in Australia and Great Britain is still to be fully understood and appreciated.’ A leading exponent of Modernism and Abstraction in Australia, The Studio Table was the highlight of Roy de Maistre’s solo exhibition in Sydney in 1928.

  • 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. Smith, Victor Cobb, and John Shirlow r, studied the printmaking techniques of the te modern international etchers such as Jes Charles Meryon and Whistler, and the The old master wood engravers such as ■ Durer, from the few prints held in nation- al art collections, books such as P.G.

  • The Fairfax Women and the Arts and Crafts Movement, 1899-1914
    CHAPTER 2 - FROM NEEDLEWORK TO WOODCARVING: THE FAIRFAX WOMEN AND THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT, 1899-1914 By the beginning of the twentieth century, the various campaigns of the women's movement had begun to affect the lives of non-campaigners. As seen in the previous chapter activists directly encouraged individual women who would profit from and aid the acquisition of new opportunities for women. Yet a broader mass of women had already experienced an increase in educational and professional freedom, had acquired constitutional acknowledgment of the right to national womanhood suffrage, and in some cases had actually obtained state suffrage. While these in the end were qualified victories, they did have an impact on the activities and lifestyles of middle-class Australian women. Some women laid claim to an increased level of cultural agency. The arts appeared to fall into that twilight zone where mid-Victorian stereotypes of feminine behaviour were maintained in some respects, while the boundaries of professionalism and leadership, and the hierarchy of artistic genres were interrogated by women. Many women had absorbed the cultural values taken to denote middle-class respectability in Britain, and sought to create a sense of refinement within their own homes. Both the 'new woman' and the conservative matriarch moved beyond a passive appreciation and domestic application of those arts, to a more active role as public promoters or creators of culture. Where Miles Franklin fell between the two stools of nationalism and feminism, the women at the forefront of the arts and crafts movement in Sydney merged national and imperial influences with Victorian and Edwardian conceptions of womanhood.

When first approaching him he announced that he only took on students who ‘had a twitch in their eye’ indicating a passion for their subject. I am pleased he saw the twitch and then persevered with me over the ensuing months. He continually sought to stretch my boundaries and direct me toward the work of esteemed authors, whose earlier writings would inform my work. He never hesitated to take my calls or promptly return emails and in fact on many occasions hosted me on the verandah of his home to listen to the latest musings of a novice student.

  • Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA
    arts Article Cultural Tourism: Imagery of Arnhem Land Bark Paintings Informs Australian Messaging to the Post-War USA Marie Geissler Faculty of Law Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522, Australia; [email protected] Received: 19 February 2019; Accepted: 28 April 2019; Published: 20 May 2019 Abstract: This paper explores how the appeal of the imagery of the Arnhem Land bark painting and its powerful connection to land provided critical, though subtle messaging, during the post-war Australian government’s tourism promotions in the USA. Keywords: Aboriginal art; bark painting; Smithsonian; Baldwin Spencer; Tony Tuckson; Charles Mountford; ANTA To post-war tourist audiences in the USA, the imagery of Australian Aboriginal culture and, within this, the Arnhem Land bark painting was a subtle but persistent current in tourism promotions, which established the identity and destination appeal of Australia. This paper investigates how the Australian Government attempted to increase American tourism in Australia during the post-war period, until the early 1970s, by drawing on the appeal of the Aboriginal art imagery. This is set against a background that explores the political agendas "of the nation, with regards to developing tourism policies and its geopolitical interests with regards to the region, and its alliance with the US. One thread of this paper will review how Aboriginal art was used in Australian tourist designs, which were applied to the items used to market Australia in the US. Another will explore the early history of developing an Aboriginal art industry, which was based on the Arnhem Land bark painting, and this will set a context for understanding the medium and its deep interconnectedness to the land.

  • 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.

  • ANSWERS to QUESTIONS on NOTICE Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General
    Senate Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee 2005-06 Supplementary Budget Hearings ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE Prime Minister and Cabinet Portfolio Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General QUESTION: PM1 Senator Crossin asked: “..How many times this year has a government member represented the Governor- General and given a message on his behalf?” QUESTION: PM2 Senator Crossin asked: “… At Uluru—Ayers Rock. It was the 20th anniversary of the hand back. You probably do not have the answer with you but can you take on notice who invited the Governor-General to that?” QUESTION: PM3 Senator Crossin asked: “…Can you also please take on notice for me whom his message was given to and why?” QUESTION: PM4 Senator Crossin asked: “In an instance where the Governor-General cannot attend, is there any protocol that suggests that the message should be given to the House of Representatives member to read out rather than to some other member of parliament? …. Could you have a look at that, please, and answer this question: if the government is the body issuing the invitation and the Governor-General is unable to go, is it custom and practice that the local House of Representatives member reads the Governor-General’s message rather than anybody else?” Response: The response to Senator Crossin’s questions PM1 to PM4 is set out below.
