Well-known artists such as Margaret Preston, Rover Thomas, and Sidney Nolan are all discussed, as are the natural history illustrators, Aboriginal draughtsmen, and pastellists, whose work is only now being brought to light by new research.

Download or read book The Prize written by Kim Anderson and published by Pantera Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When two artists enter the 1943 Archibald Prize, a scandal erupts that grips not only the art world, but the nation. A poignant love story with shattering consequences, inspired by real-life events. 'Is that what you want to do? Peer into my soul and capture my flaws, for all to see?' As World War II draws to a close, Australian society is still deeply conservative. Homosexuality is illegal and the scourge of Modernism is infecting Australian art. When William Dobell paints a portrait of lover and fellow artist Joshua Smith, he is awarded Australia's most prestigious art prize. A protest is lodged by Dobell's competitors who claim the painting is a caricature. Both artist and sitter soon find themselves in the glare of the spotlight when a court case to determine the matter turns into a public spectacle. Bill and Joshua's relationship is put under pressure and at risk of being exposed as they are caught in a world where they must choose between love and art: between acceptance and exile.

Book Synopsis "Australian Art and Artists in London, 1950?965 " by : Simon Pierse
Download or read book "Australian Art and Artists in London, 1950?965 " written by Simon Pierse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subtle and wide-ranging in its account, this study explores the impact of Australian art in Britain in the two decades following the end of World War II and preceding the 'Swinging Sixties'. In a transitional period of decolonization in Britain, Australian painting was briefly seized upon as a dynamic and reinvigorating force in contemporary art, and a group of Australian artists settled in London where they held centre stage with group and solo exhibitions in the capital's most prestigious galleries. The book traces the key influences of Sir Kenneth Clark, Bernard Smith and Bryan Robertson in their various (and varying) roles as patrons, ideologues, and entrepreneurs for Australian art, as well as the self-definition and interaction of the artists themselves. Simon Pierse interweaves multiple issues of the period into a cohesive historical narrative, including the mechanics of the British art world, the limited and frustrating cultural scene of 1950s Australia, and the conservative influence of Australian government bodies. Publishing for the first time archival material, letters, and photographs previously unavailable to scholars either in Britain or Australia, this book demonstrates how the work of expatriate Australian artists living in London constructed a distinct vision of Australian identity for a foreign market.
Book Synopsis Helena Rubinstein by : Angus Trumble
Download or read book Helena Rubinstein written by Angus Trumble and published by La Trobe University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivating story of the first global cosmetics empire, the fascinating woman who built it, and the past she preferred to leave behind ‘Because of Trumble's surgical precision, his empathy and self-awareness, his humour, his grace, his exquisite visual sense ... in his hands the facts of Rubinstein's life take on new and startling significance.‘ —Sarah Krasnostein Helena Rubinstein (1872–1965) is best known for creating the world's first global cosmetics empire. At its height, her name was synonymous with glamour, with salons in Paris, London and New York, and beauty products sold at cosmetics counters around the world. Much less well known are the years Rubinstein spent in Australia before she was famous. Recently arrived from Poland, aged twenty-three and speaking little English, she worked as a governess and waitress before opening her first salon in Melbourne in 1902. In this captivating and wryly entertaining portrait, Angus Trumble retraces Rubinstein's forgotten Australian years. Later, Rubinstein worked hard to suppress key details of her early life, but they reveal the origins of her extraordinary rise. In the laneways of Melbourne and the dusty streets of Coleraine, we see her laying the foundations of a global empire. This is the fascinating story of an enigmatic woman, the myth she carefully curated, and the past she preferred to leave behind. With a foreword by Sarah Krasnostein ‘Angus Trumble, scoured records to chart Rubinstein's progress to Sydney, New Zealand and on to a global empire ... Rubinstein's motto, “Beauty is power”, proved a shrewd prediction.’ —Robyn Douglass, The Herald Sun
