Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-released with a stunning new cover, Florence Broadhurst is back. Using Broadhurst's iconic Turnabouts pattern, O'neill's award-winning book has been revamped with another an eye-catching design. Florence Broadhurst was born in 1899 to a farming family in MountPerry, the isolated heart of rural Queensland. At the age of 15, she wrotean article for her small country school that reads like a mission statement. "I am resolved to do great things", she said. "My name may not bespoken by people of the future,my fame may not be lauded, but...I shalldo great things." By 19, she was singing her way around Australia, herremarkable contralto voice having apparently won her the chance toperform with Nellie Melba and Robert Helpmann. By 25 she had toured across Asia to rave reviews under the name BoobyBroadhurst, the star turn in The Globe Trotters, a saucy vaudeville troopthat included transvestites, singers, dancers and actors. After decades as a successful courtier to young English ladies both inShanghai and London, she returned to Australia at age 50, claiming to bean aristocratic English woman visiting the colonies to recuperate fromthe ravages of WW II. She spent the ensuing years painting the landscapebefore moving on to portraits of the rich and famous. By 58 she was adarling of the high-end social set, promoting herself as a tireless fundraiserfor good causes while also running an inter-state trucking business. At 63 she declared Australia was afraid of colour and announced a newventure - a wallpaper business. Broadhurst created over 800 hugelypopular designs that defined the swinging 60s. Her designs wereextremely sought after throughout the world, with long waiting lists for herwork. On 16 October, 1977, at the age of 78, Broadhurst was found murderedin her Paddington wallpaper showroom. Her fingers were broken, herhead stuffed into her lavatory bowl. Jewellery worth tens of thousands ofdollars was missing. Her murder remains unsolved.

Download or read book A Life By Design written by Siobhan O'Brien and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2004-11-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florence Broadhurst, the one-time chanteuse of Shanghai, Bond Street salon owner, world-renowned wallpaper designer and Sydney socialite lived a life steeped in subterfuge and deception. Here for the first time we get a glimpse at the fascinating woman behind the hand-printed brocades. Late in the afternoon of 16 October 1977, seventy-eight year-old Florence Broadhurst was brutally murdered. Her killer was never found. The mystery surrounding Florence's death is in keeping with the elegant artifice of her life. Born in rural Australia, Florence soon decided Queensland was too small a stage. She travelled the world, changing her name and business as she went--a performing arts academy in Shanghai, a fashion salon in London and a husband or two until finally, in 1949, she returned to Australia. This time Broadhurst claimed to be an English woman escaping post-war London for the sunshine of the 'promised land'. 1959 saw her drawing on images she had gathered from her travels to create a flourishing business, Australian (Hand Printed) Wallpapers. By the time of her death Florence Broadhurst was a successful socialite--and a wealthy woman. But who was she, this generous, ferociously autocratic and evasive woman? In A Life by Design we get a glimpse of the woman behind the hand-printed brocades and mysterious life.

Download or read book Occupation: ruin, repudiation, revolution written by Lynn Churchill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together an international range of contributors from the fields of practice, theory and history, this book takes a fresh look at occupation. It argues that occupation is a prospect that begins with ruin--a residue from the past, an implied or even a resounding presence of something previous that holds the potential for transformation. This prospect invites us to repudiate, re-imagine and re-define lived space, thereby asserting occupation as an act of revolution. Authors drawn from the fields of architecture, urbanism, interior architecture, dance dramaturgy, art history, design and visual arts, cultural studies and media studies provide a unique, holistic view of occupation, examining topics such as: the authority of architecture; architecture as an act of revolution; women in hypersexual space; occupation as a serialized act of ruin; and the definition of space as repudiation. They discuss how acts that re-invent territory and/or shift boundaries--psychological, social and physical--affect identity and demonstrate possession. This theme of occupation is significant and topical at a time of radical flux, generated by the proliferation of hypermedia, and also by the dramatically shifting environmental, political and economic context of this era. The book concludes by asserting that it is through occupation (private and public: real, virtual, remembered, re-invented) that we appear or disappear as the individual or collective self, because the spaces we construct assert particular agendas which we may either contest or live in accord with.

Book excerpt: It’s a marvellous collection of inspiring stories from some of Australia’s most soul-stirring women; an eye-opening window into astonishing lives built on strength of character and an independent spirit. From medical professionals who achieved astonishing success with ground-breaking methods, to a celebrated nurse who survived the horrors of a World War II prison camp, Elizabeth Fysh takes the fortunate reader on a fascinating journey. The subjects are exceptional people and include the woman who created Australia’s first luxury hotel, the pioneer anthropologist who recorded the lives of the Wik people in Cape York, and the journalist who was at the centre of intrigue between the two World Wars. There’s the mystery of the celebrated decorator whose brutal murder was never solved, the travails of the hardy Outback stockwoman immortalised in a Slim Dusty hit, and so many more eye-opening accounts of remarkable women with unbreakable mettle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Repeating patterns can soothe or energize us, bringing joy and harmony to everyday life.

Beginning with the history of patterns in interior design, Kate Farley uncovers lessons from the work of Owen Jones, William Morris, Collier Campbell and Josef Frank. There are also interviews with some of the best contemporary pattern designers working today: Angie Lewin, Deborah Bowness, Eley Kishimoto, Emma J. Shipley, Galbraith & Paul, Neisha Crosland, Orla Kiely OBE, Sarah Campbell and Timorous Beasties. Each interview covers the designer's practice and ethos and includes a deconstruction of one design, with discussion of initial sketches, details of design development, manufacturing insights and images of final products. Covering hand-drawn techniques through to digital manipulation, you'll also be guided through the implications of visual language, colour statements, manufacturing considerations and commercial interior contexts to prepare you to jump in and start creating your own unique patterns.

Download or read book A History of Medieval Europe written by R.H.C. Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.C. Davis provided the classic account of the European medieval world; equipping generations of undergraduate and ‘A’ level students with sufficient grasp of the period to debate diverse historical perspectives and reputations. His book has been important grounding for both modernists required to take a course in medieval history, and those who seek to specialise in the medieval period. In updating this classic work to a third edition, the additional author now enables students to see history in action; the diverse viewpoints and important research that has been undertaken since Davis’ second edition, and progressed historical understanding. Each of Davis original chapters now concludes with a ‘new directions and developments’ section by Professor RI Moore, Emeritus of Newcastle University. A key work updated in a method that both enhances subject understanding and sets important research in its wider context. A vital resource, now up-to-date for generations of historians to come.
