Download or read book The Art of Jock Clutterbuck written by Sasha Grishin and published by MacMillan Art Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jock Clutterbuck is a remarkably accomplished sculptor and printmaker, whose distinctive abstract imagery is equally expressive in either medium. In his Foreword, Geoffrey Edwards describes Clutterbuck s unique forms as possessing the elegant visual clarity and crisp ornament of an old astrolabe or suchlike scientific instrument . Author Sasha Grishin explains that the artist is unusual in his preoccupation with mysticism in general and with theosophy and arcane systems of knowledge . The identifying characteristics of this artist s works stretch throughout his entire oeuvre dating from his student days at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in the 1960s, throughout his more than 25 years teaching at the Victorian College of the Arts, to the years since 2000 that he has been able to dedicate full-time to his art. Clutterbuck s first exhibitions were held at Tate Adams Crossley Gallery, Melbourne s first dedicated printmaking venue, which from the 1950s to 1980s showed artists such as Fred Williams, George Baldessin and Hertha Kluge-Pott. Today, Jock Clutterbuck exhibits at Australian Galleries, with whom this exquisite monograph, designed by Suzi Ditterich, is co-published."

This expansive, original and illuminating compendium leads readers on a journey through artistic and provincial history, interweaving the lives of residents and visitors. Collectively, it presents a vivid account of the influence of place on the cultural imagination. A fascinating cast of characters includes some of Australia’s best-known and most-loved artists, including Eugène von Guérard, Jessie Traill, Arthur Streeton, Clarice Beckett, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams, and Jeffrey Smart. Readers will discover also a host of new names destined for recognition. Spirits in the Bush reveals how artists have grappled with a region that is in equal measures beautiful and brutal, and which has provided the stage for many of the key battles in Australian art history. Bound by geographical camaraderie, and with the spectre of Gippsland’s past as an unwavering presence, the stories of their art unfold in a unique dialogue. This publication was made possible through the generous support of the Gordon Darling Foundation.
Download or read book The Bible and Art Perspectives from Oceania written by Caroline Blyth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume takes readers on a fascinating journey through the visual arts of Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands, contemplating the multivocal dialogues that occur between these artistic media and the texts and traditions of the Bible. With their distinctively antipodean perspectives, contributors explore the innovative ways that both creators and beholders of Oceanic arts draw upon their contexts and cultures in order to open up creative engagements with the stories, themes and theologies of the biblical traditions. Various motifs weave their way throughout the volume, including antipodean landscapes and ecology, (post)colonialism, philosophy, Oceanic spiritualities and the often contested engagements between western and indigenous cultures. Within this weaving process, each essay invites readers to contemplate these various forms of visual culture through Oceanic eyes, and to appreciate the fresh insights that this process can bring to reading and interpreting the biblical traditions. The result is a rich and interdisciplinary array of conversations that will capture the attention of readers within the fields of biblical reception studies, cultural studies, theology and art history.

Download or read book The Crossley Gallery 1966 1980 written by Jenny Zimmer and published by Macmillan Education AU. This book was released on 2003 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When, in 1966, Tate Adams opened Crossley Gallery in a lane off Bourke Street, Melbourne, he ioneered the importation of contemporary Japanese prints by masters such as Munakata and Sasajima. These were shown alongside those emerging local artist printmakers including at that time Fred Williams, Roger Kemp, George Baldessin, Bea Maddock and many others. This productive collision of cultures soon established the Crossley Gallery and its associated activities - such as the Crossley Print Workshop - as the hub of activity in this art form. The book contains memoirs of those associated with the Gallery and features prints shown or commissioned by Tate Adams - a leading printmaker himself. It provides first-hand insights into a previously under-examined aspect of the development of contemporary art in Australia. Also comes as a special edition with original wood engraving by Tate Adams, special cloth binding and a slip-case.

Book excerpt: The sixty-year career of Robert Jacks, one of Australia's most significant abstract artists, reveals continued development and change as well as a remarkable consistency of language and form. Jacks charted a distinctive and influential path through late twentieth- and early twenty-first century Australian art, and through his commitment to abstraction established himself as a unique figure in the history and development of art in this country. Robert Jacks: Order and Variation is a handsomely illustrated publication that surveys the artist's work, from his student years in the 1950s and 1960s to his monumental late paintings and sculptures. Featuring insightful essays by National Gallery of Victoria curators Kirsty Grant and Beckett Rozentals and art historian Peter Anderson, it conveys a new understanding of Jacks's exploration of abstraction in painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking.
