Book Synopsis The Exhibitionists by : Steven Miller
Download or read book The Exhibitionists written by Steven Miller and published by . This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The gathering of the grain may not be permitted to those present; but we may rest content in the satisfaction that it will be reaped in all its fullness by those who may come after us. For let the love of art once take firm root among us and it will go on bearing increased supplies of fruit year by year.' - Thomas Mort, 1871 'The Sydney Gallery has one of the finest natural positions in the world, and the Sydney folk have made the most of it. Their gallery resembles a kind of golden temple, through which are seen spaces of lovely blue harbour water. Fine light, fine pictures, fine arrangement.' -Arthur Streeton, 1920 In 2021, the Art Gallery of New South Wales celebrates its 150th anniversary. Since its founding as an academy of art in 1871, its evolution into one of Australia's premier public art museums is testament to the enthusiasm and ingenuity of its staff, trustees and supporters, and to the artists whose works have drawn in the people of Sydney and beyond. The exhibitionists is the story of the people who made the Gallery. It peels away the layers of official narratives to find the often-overlooked histories bubbling beneath the surface. These are tales of big personalities and great talents, of groundbreaking exhibitions and table-thumping conflicts, all underpinned by an unwavering commitment to bringing art to the people. Steven Miller, the Gallery's archivist, is uniquely placed to bring these stories to light. It's an inside view, and an outside one too, as Miller steps back to explore the society and cultural values that produced this iconic institution and tracks how it has morphed and modernised in step with those values - and ahead of them - for the last century and a half. The exhibitionists brings to light the history of an art museum in its 150th year - an anniversary also reached by The Metropolitan Museum, New York, last year. It is both a local Sydney story but part of a broader international one in the ways public museums develop, represent and present culture and evolve with the times.

Book Synopsis A History of Aboriginal Art in the Art Gallery of New South Wales by : Vanessa Russ
Download or read book A History of Aboriginal Art in the Art Gallery of New South Wales written by Vanessa Russ and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly original study, Vanessa Russ examines the gradual invention of Aboriginal art within the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This process occurred as the social histories of Australia expanded and recognised Aboriginal people, through wars and political shifts, and as international organisations began placing pressure on nation states to expand, diversify, and respect multicultural perspectives. This book explores a state art institution as a case study to consider these complex narratives through a single history of Aboriginal art from early colonisation until today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Indigenous studies.

Download or read book Hilma Af Klint written by Sue Cramer and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden from view for decades, the work of Hilma af Klint (1862?1944) has captured the imagination of contemporary audiences. She is now widely regarded as a pioneer of twentieth-century abstract art. Her paintings are monumental in scale, with radiant color combinations, enigmatic symbols, and otherworldly shapes. In an era of limited creative freedom for women, her secret paintings were an outlet for her prodigious intelligence, spiritual quest, and groundbreaking artistic vision. Hilma af Klint: The Secret Paintings includes over 125 artworks, ranging from enormous canvasses to small watercolors; pages from her detailed notebooks; and a selection of photographs and other images. Five essays and an illustrated chronology reveal new research on af Klint, her practice, and her place in art history.

Book Synopsis Culture Heist by : Judith White (Art society director)
Download or read book Culture Heist written by Judith White (Art society director) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A much-loved cultural institution facing a cost-cutting government, a board dominated by the big end of town, and a management fixated on an ambitious building project. Culture Heist lifts the veil on what goes on at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Judith White worked there for 12 years and gives an insider's account, with implications for art lovers and museum-goers everywhere. Culture Heist invites a broad discussion to address the issues facing the arts in Australia, and to explore ways to protect its great public institutions. "A visit to a great art gallery leaves one with a sense of indelible wonder. Judith White dances through the great times of AGNSW and warns us of its existential threats -- dwindling public funding and testosterone inspired expansion plans." ~ Graeme Wood, philanthropist. "Judith White has written with first-hand experience and passion about the centrality of every society's need for a vibrant artistic culture." ~ Professor Hon. Dame Marie Bashir, AD CVO Governor of NSW. "An insider's account of how the self-interest of big business can strangle our key cultural bodies. A must read for all those who treasure the arts." ~ Colleen Ryan, former editor of The Australian Financial Review. "[Thebook is] highly critical of a broad shift she sees in our public institutions... Whiteargues they are at risk of becoming branches of the entertainment industry." ~ Michael Cathcart, Radio National Books and Arts.
