“…79 This scheme was put in place in 1941with nine junior members including Margaret Olley, Margaret Cilento, Patricia Prentice, and John Rigby signing up. 80 Junior membership gave the young artists the same rights, privileges and responsibilities to the RQAS as the senior members enjoyed. They were allowed to enter the annual exhibition, but to do so they competed directly with senior artists before the selection committee.…”

“…The essay was publicised by the press under the headline ‗Queensland Art Sterile'. 80 Collinson wrote the foreword with the intention of sparking some kind of debate in local art circles about the state of Queensland art, but in this he was to be disappointed. Two letters relating to the incident were published in the -Reader's Letters‖ section of the Courier-Mail, but neither addressed the aesthetic position espoused by Collinson; rather, it was the inadequacies of the young artist's social conduct that raised the ire of readers.…”

Creating a scene: the role of artists’ groups in the development of Brisbane’s art world 1940-1970

This study offers an analysis of Brisbane's art world through the lens of artists' groups operating in the city between 1940 and 1970. It argues that in the absence of more extensive or well-developed art institutions, artists' groups played a crucial role in the growth of Brisbane's art world. Rather than focusing on an examination of ideas about art or assuming the inherently ‗philistine' and ‗provincial' nature of Brisbane's art world, the thesis examines the nature of the city's main art institutions, including facilities for art education, the art market, conservation and collection of art, and writing about art. Compared to the larger Australian cities, these dimensions of the art world remained relatively underdeveloped in Brisbane, and it is in this context that groups such as the

Australian press constructions of the 2002 Bali bombing: differing imaginings of the nation and its place in the world

Methodologically, the thesis acknowledges the semiotic complexity of the newspaper texts and of the everyday experience of reading them. The analysis therefore takes in not just journalists"words, but also images (photographs, cartoons, drawings, maps, diagrams), captions, page layout and headers, font size, especially of headlines, combinations of word and image, and narrative sequencing of articles and pages. In order to do this, original paper and microfilm sources were accessed, rather than on-line databases. The central methodology of detailed textual analysis is supplemented by content analyses.On the first mode of address, to the Australian as mourner, the thesis compares the Daily Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald in terms of how affectively-oriented that address is and what implications flow from it. The second comparison concerns the papers" constructions of Bali and Indonesia. The differences hinge on divergent approaches to ethnicity and nation. Whereas the first paper"s ethnocentric address leads to its substantial ignoring of the state of Indonesia and to a patronising construction of Balinese, the Sydney Morning Herald"s multicultural and cosmopolitan address constructs Balinese sympathetically and investigates the complexities of Indonesia"s nascent democracy. Thirdly, the thesis explores differences in how the two papers construct terrorism and politics. The key variant here is the papers" degree of adherence or otherwise to the principles of the US discourse of the "war on terror". This entails quite distinct approaches to the force of condemnation of those suspected of the bombing, and to the importance of fear of future attacks, as well as to connections made between the Bali atrocity and the USA"s proposals to invade Iraq for its supposed weapons of mass destruction. Rounding out the Daily Telegraph/Sydney Morning Herald comparison is an analysis of theAustralian"s representations of the bombing. The newspaper differs from the other two in being iii nationally distributed, but resembles the Daily Telegraph as another publication from News Ltd, and the Sydney Morning Herald as another broadsheet. The thesis investigates how far its constructions of Australian victims and of Bali and Indonesia align with those of its sister paper or those of its broadsheet competitor. The question here is the degree of pluralism or otherwise in its understandings of the province and the state. On terrorism and politics, the key question is the extent to which the US discourse of the "war on terror" affects the paper"s accounts of these issues.The conclusions draw together the comparisons between the three Australian newspapers in terms of issues of tabloid and broadsheet, of press pluralism and partisanship, of conceptions of citizenship in a social democracy, and of the principles of the fourth estate.
