Identity, Community and Australian Artists, 1890-1914: Paris, London and Further Afield

Autor Dr. Kate R. Robertson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2022
An irresistible call lured Australian artists abroad between 1890 and 1914, a transitional period immediately pre- and post-federation. Travelling enabled an extension of artistic frontiers, and Paris - the centre of art - and London - the heart of the Empire - promised wondrous opportunities. These expatriate artists formed communities based on their common bond to Australia, enacting their Australian-ness in private and public settings.Yet, they also interacted with the broader creative community, fashioning a network of social and professional relationships. They joined ateliers in Paris such as the Académie Julian, clubs like the Chelsea Arts Club in London and visited artist colonies including St Ives in England and Étaples in France. Australian artists persistently sought a sense of belonging, negotiating their identity through activities such as plays, balls, tableaux, parties, dressing-up and, of course, the creation of art. While individual biographies are integral to this study, it is through exploring the connections between them that it offers new insights.Through utilising extensive archival material, much of which has limited or no publication history, this book fills a gap in existing scholarship. It offers a vital exploration re-consideration of the fluidity of identity, place and belonging in the lives and work of Australian artists in this juncture in British-Australian history.

Recenzii

Robertson provides a rich survey of key itinerant episodes in the lives of an important generation of Australian artists. She analyses in-depth how these men and women travelled to access the treasures and opportunities afforded by Europe, transforming their identities as they rebalanced their national and international artistic ideals, which her readers will find informative and illuminating.
Expatriatism is often seen as a blight on a nation's cultural development: Kate Robertson turns that notion on its head and convincingly places fin de siècle painters in Europe at the very centre of Australian art.
