von Guerard Eugene work discussedview full entry

Reference: see Reading the Rooms - Behind the paintings of the State Library of NSW, edited by Rachel Franks, Richard Neville, with 50 contributers (their biographies are included). Extensively illustrated. Includes biographical information on artists. With bibliography, index, and a list of 318 works with thumbnail illustrations.
‘The incredible painting collection of the State Library of New South Wales is documented for the first time.
The State Library of New South Wales holds an unrivalled collection of oil paintings. Unlike an art gallery where the focus is usually on aesthetic excellence, the rationale behind the Library’s collecting is broad and often eclectic. It features works from artists such as Conrad Martens and John Glover, and others of variable quality, execution and skill, with a range of formats and diversity of subjects that tell us much about Australia.
Reading the Rooms reveals this little-known — but rich and highly significant — collection. It delivers a fascinating and authoritative account of hundreds of paintings, and a compelling argument for their importance.’

Friend Donaldview full entry

Reference: see Saleroom article, AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW, By Terry Ingram, on 02-Sep-2013:
A more pleasant Australian introduction to Bali is expected to be met with at the Paddington Town Hall, Sydney on October 27 when 350 plus lots associated with one of Strasser's Australian colleagues goes under the hammer.
Fifty of the paintings in this sale will not have to appeal to the arbitrageur willing to re-offer them outside Australia for them to find their full value.
Deutscher + Hackett is offering paintings, sculpture, textiles and krises on behalf of the 83 year old Attilio Guarracino.
Attilio was the love of Donald Friend's life and 50 paintings by the artist acquired during this friendship will be the focus of the sale.
Attilio was an island boy of 19 when he met Australian artist, Donald Friend. Their relationship took many forms over the years until Friend's death in 1989 and suggests a longstanding bromance.
More than a dozen of those years were spent in Bali, where Donald Friend lived like a rajah.

Strasser Rolandview full entry

Reference: see Saleroom article, AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL REVIEW, By Terry Ingram, on 02-Sep-2013:
Cockfighter by Roland Strasser (1895-1974) failed to put up much of a fight when the oil on canvas was knocked down for $15,000 plus premium (25 per cent) or half the lower estimate at a Lawson's regular weekly Thursday antique, jewellery and art auction on August 28.
The oil on canvas was bought by art trader Mr Andrew Crawford and is expected to re-appear at a Singapore auction.
The painting's  brutal subject matter, only intimated in the bloodless work, is likely to be better appreciated in lands where this “sport” (cockfighting) has been better accepted than in Australia.
The chief executive of Lawson's, Mr Martin Farrah, said the work sold for a lot more than the consignors believed it to be worth.

Day Gallery is proud to present a selection of Australian paintings and prints, from 1860 to 1960.
This collection is a representation of our gallery’s interest in the history of Australian Art. We hope that you enjoy it.
Featuring a collection of serigraphs by printmaker Ethleen Palmer:
Ethleen Palmer (1906-1958) known as the ‘Australian Hokusai’ was one of the first Australian women to make a living from her printmaking.
Her printed works are represented in most Australian Public Galleries and have been largely undervalued by collectors in the past decades. She is now beginning to gain the recognition that her contemporaries such as Margaret Preston, Evelyn Syme and Thea Proctor have enjoyed for years. The following works are a representation of her works over a 15 year period between 1935- 1950. 18 works listed and illustrated.

Earth & Fireview full entry

Reference: Earth & Fire, Modern potters, their tools, techniques and practice, by KylieJohnson, Tiffany Johnson.
Earth and fire represent the two elements that produce a ceramic object. Without the other they are simply components; together they create both practical objects and pieces of art. Working as both primer and inspiration, Earth and Fire explores the techniques, practices and tools of over forty-five working ceramicists.
Creating everything from woodfired and fine porcelain wares, sculptured vases, everyday cups, bowls and plates, to jewellery and wall pieces, these artists work in a wide range of styles and mediums to create their ceramics. Although the methods vary, the overall sentiment is that the earth and fire that the artists use to make their objects are the ultimate masters. Just when they think they know one thing, the clay, glaze and heat will teach them another. There will always be more to learn. Working with clay is, quite simply, humbling.
Written and compiled by Kylie Johnson and Tiffany Johnson, Earth & Fire captures the diverse beauty and utility of ceramics, demonstrating that clay doesn’t just get under your fingernails; it gets under your skin.

Feather and Brush - A History of Australian Bird Artview full entry

Reference: Feather and Brush - A History of Australian Bird Art, by Penny Olsen.
This second edition includes new and revised chapters, and features about 200 new artworks, including some by Indigenous artists.
Feather and Brush traces the history of bird art in Australia — from the simple engravings illustrating accounts of the earliest European voyages of discovery to the diversity of artwork available today. It explores the early European approach, in which naval draughtsmen, officers, convicts, settlers, naturalists, artists and scientists alike contributed both to the art and the science of ornithology, through to a diversity of contemporary artists featuring birds in their works.
This book contains more than 400 images, representing the work of 156 artists; some well-known, others published for the first time. All have been selected for their merit, whether ornithological, historical or artistic. They range from classical to quirky, decorative to functional, monumental to intimate. Together they demonstrate the rich history of Australian bird art, as it evolved in both Europe and Australia, along with the interests and technologies of the times.

Woodward Margaretview full entry

Reference: Margaret Woodward, Paintings 1950-2007, by Gavin Fry.
At the age of twelve, Margaret Woodward was given a glimpse of creative chaos in an artist’s studio. A little later, an unusual friendship acquainted her with the reality of landscape, and a testing childhood passed into a conscious endeavour to become an artist. Recognised and established as a distinctly original artist, Margaret Woodward has behind her a lifelong struggle to reconcile conflicting demands: poverty and self-sufficiency; relationship and isolation; art and life. And, in her fascinating personal insights at the end of this book, the intuitive and the conscious. Winner of the Wynne Prize, the major prize for landscape and numerous other prizes, Margaret Woodward spent the early part of her life as a dedicated art teacher, first in secondary schools and later in art colleges both in Perth and Sydney. The book has an informative and sympathetic text by Gavin Fry, with over 150 colour plates and black and white illustrations and photographs covering all periods of the artist’s work, from the earliest student essays in landscape, to the later imaginative compositions of figures and the haunting waterlilies series. AUTHOR: Gavin Fry is a writer, artist and art historian, the author of more than twenty books on Australian art and history. Recently retired after a lifetime working in Australian museums and educational institutions, he has specialised in the art of the twentieth century, maritime painting and the depiction of Australians at war.

Preston Margaret self portrait p180-189view full entry

Reference: see The Mirror and the Palette: Rebellion, Revolution and Resilience: 500 Years of Women’s Self-Portraits.
[’Her story weaves in and out of time and place. She's Frida Kahlo, Lois Mailou Jones and Amrita Sher-Gil en route to Mexico City, Paris or Bombay. She's Suzanne Valadon and Gwen John, craving city lights, the sea and solitude; she's Artemisia Gentileschi striding through the streets of Naples and Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede. She's haunting museums in her paint-stained dress, scrutinising how El Greco or Titian or Van Dyck or Cezanne solved the problems that she too is facing. She's railing against her corsets, her chaperones, her husband and her brothers; she's hammering on doors, dreaming in her bedroom, working day and night in her studio. Despite the immense hurdles that have been placed in her way, she sits at her easel, picks up a mirror and paints a self-portrait because, as a subject, she is always available. Until the twentieth century, art history was, in the main, written by white men who tended to write about other white men. The idea that women in the West have always made art was rarely cited as a possibility. Yet they have - and, of course, continue to do so - often against tremendous odds, from laws and religion to the pressures of family and public disapproval. In THE MIRROR AND THE PALETTE, Jennifer Higgie introduces us to a cross-section of women artists who embody the fact that there is more than one way to understand our planet, more than one way to live in it and more than one way to make art about it. Spanning 500 years, biography and cultural history intertwine in a narrative packed with tales of rebellion, adventure, revolution, travel and tragedy enacted by women who turned their back on convention and lived lives of great resilience, creativity and bravery. This is a dazzlingly original and ambitious book by one of the most well-respected art critics at work today.’]
JENNIFER HIGGIE is an Australian writer who lives in London. She has a BA in Fine Art from the Canberra School of Art, and a MA from Victoria College of the Arts, Melbourne; her paintings are in various public and private collections in Australia. Previously the editor of frieze magazine, she is now frieze editor-at-large and the presenter of Bow Down, a podcast about women in art history. She is also a screenwriter, the editor of a collection of writings on art and humour THE ARTIST'S JOKE, a novel, BEDLAM, and a children's book, THERE'S NOT ONE.

Preston Margaret self portrait p180-189

Reference: see The Mirror and the Palette: Rebellion, Revolution and Resilience: 500 Years of Women’s Self-Portraits.
[’Her story weaves in and out of time and place. She's Frida Kahlo, Lois Mailou Jones and Amrita Sher-Gil en route to Mexico City, Paris or Bombay. She's Suzanne Valadon and Gwen John, craving city lights, the sea and solitude; she's Artemisia Gentileschi striding through the streets of Naples and Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede. She's haunting museums in her paint-stained dress, scrutinising how El Greco or Titian or Van Dyck or Cezanne solved the problems that she too is facing. She's railing against her corsets, her chaperones, her husband and her brothers; she's hammering on doors, dreaming in her bedroom, working day and night in her studio.

Reference: see The Whole Picture: The colonial story of the art in our museums & why we need to talk about it, by Alice Procter. With index and bibliography.
[’If you think art history has to be pale, male and stale - think again.
"Probing, jargon-free and written with the pace of a detective story... [Procter] dissects western museum culture with such forensic fury that it might be difficult for the reader ever to view those institutions in the same way again. " Financial Times
'A smart, accessible and brilliantly structured work that encourages readers to go beyond the grand architecture of cultural institutions and see the problematic colonial histories behind them.' - Sumaya Kassim
Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to 'decolonize' our galleries? Must Rhodes fall?
How to deal with the colonial history of art in museums and monuments in the public realm is a thorny issue that we are only just beginning to address. Alice Procter, creator of the Uncomfortable Art Tours, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art history and tells the stories that have been left out of the canon.
The book is divided into four chronological sections, named after four different kinds of art space: The Palace, The Classroom, The Memorial and The Playground. Each section tackles the fascinating, enlightening and often shocking stories of a selection of art pieces, including the propaganda painting the East India Company used to justify its rule in India; the tattooed Maori skulls collected as 'art objects' by Europeans;’

Double Nation - A History of Australian Artview full entry

Reference: Double Nation - A History of Australian Art, byv Ian McLean. Includes ‘Selected Reading’, and index.
In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.
Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (1998, reissue 2009).

Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad.

Photography and Australia view full entry

Reference: Photography and Australia, by Helen Ennis. Includes bibliographical references and index.
[’With its moving landscapes and famously independent cultural traditions, Australia is uniquely suited to having its national narrative told through visual documentation. Helen Ennis gathers here a selection of photographs that recount the story of Australia, and through this visual chronicle, she uncovers a distinctively Australian visual culture.
The striking images featured in Photography and Australia, in the new ‘Exposures’ series, documents the iconic sights of the rugged Australian landscape such as the imposing Uluru, or Ayers Rock, as well as documentary photographs, wilderness shots, post-mortem studies of bushrangers and other images both quotidian and extraordinary. A leading Australian photography historian, Ennis argues that the colonial experience is a central element of these visual testaments, and embedded within this experience are the tumultuous relations between white settlers and Aboriginal peoples.
Her analysis explores how the photographs reveal the racial, social and political tensions woven throughout Australian history, ranging from modern works by Aboriginal photographers to archival photographs of desolate mining towns and the peoples who eked out their living from the brutal terrain. The photographers’ personal perspectives are also embedded in the images, Photography and Australia argues, and the book examines how photographers’ responses to place, modernity and globalization were expressed through their works. Photography and Australia unearths an original and engaging perspective on Australian history, weaving a wealth of images into a compelling, informative account.’]

UnAustralian art - ten essays on transnational art histor view full entry

Reference: UnAustralian art : ten essays on transnational art history / Rex Butler and ADS Donaldson. Includes bibliographical references and index. [To be indexed fully - artists with a single reference in the book's index have not yet been added]
UnAustralian Art: Ten Essays on Transnational Art History proposes a radical rethinking of Australian art history. In a collection of ten essays, Rex Butler and ADS Donaldson argue against flatfooted accounts of Australian art, which continue to identify a distinctive national sensibility arising from a combination of place, people and history. The authors demonstrate that Australian art and artists have always been engaged in struggles and creative exchanges with the rest of the world. Examining Australian art as much from the outside in as the inside out, Butler and Donaldson's account includes a multitude of hitherto excluded stories of Australian expatriates who lived and worked overseas, as well as artists who came from elsewhere and continued to make art in Australia. Beginning with the Impressionist John Russell at the turn of the century in France and ending with the great Anmatyerre artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye in the late twentieth century, the book presents original research detailing the artistic connections between Australia and New Zealand, France, Britain, Germany, Asia, North America, South America and the Pacific, while also examining the work of artists from around the world who have made art inspired by Australia.
Full contents:
• Outside in : against a history of reception
• Cities within cities : Australian and New Zealand art of the twentieth century
• Against provincialism : Australian-American connections, 1900-2000
• Surrealism and Australia : towards a world history of surrealism
• Ten rooms : the real spaces of Asian-Australian artistic interaction
• Another Australia : British Australian art, 1880-1970
• War and peace : 150 years of German and Australia
• Trans-Pacific : Abstract painting in Australia, New Zealand and America, 1930-1960
• Madí and Mary Webb : Australian and South America
• All the world's Australias.

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.

As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.
Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (1998, reissue 2009).

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad.

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.
Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (1998, reissue 2009).

In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.
Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (1998, reissue 2009).

As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.
Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His previous books include Double Desire: Transculturation and Indigenous Art (2014), How Aborigines Invented the Idea of Contemporary Art (2011) and White Aborigines: Identity Politics in Australian Art (1998, reissue 2009).

Colour and Movement: The Life of Claudio Alcorsoview full entry

Reference: Colour and Movement: The Life of Claudio Alcorso, by Stephanie Cahalan. With index. ‘Colour and movement: The life of Claudio Alcorso is a study of a humanist, entrepreneur, patron of the arts and conservationist.
After fleeing fascism in Italy and enduring incarceration in Australia in World War II, Alcorso became a champion of textiles and the arts, pioneer of Tasmania’s cool climate wine industry, and architect of Hobart’s cultural precinct. Alcorso was at the leading edge of Australia’s twentieth century multicultural and artistic awakening.
Claudio helped redraft the cultural blueprint of Tasmania during his journey from one of Rome’s elite, to the bankrupted tenant of his beloved Moorilla Estate in far-flung Hobart. There he watched the winery he created commence its transformation into MONA, the dissident private museum that has, in turn, reshaped contemporary Tasmania’s view of itself and its place in the world.
Painted through personal accounts, letters and rarely seen images, this portrait of Alcorso shows that his feats will forever dwarf his failures.’
