‘Overwhelming and sublime’: the primal power of Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s cinematic art https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/aug/26/overwhelming-and-sublime-the-primal-power-of-apichatpong-weerasethakuls-cinematic-art #ApichatpongWeerasethakul #Australianart #Australianews #Artanddesign #Exhibitions #Videoart #Culture #Sydney #Film #Art

"North-East View from the Northern Top of Mount Kosciusko," Eugene von Guerard, 1863.

Von Guerard (1811-1901) was an Austrian-born painter most famous for his work in Australia and New Zealand. He migrated to Australia in 1852, mainly to seek his fortune in the gold fields, but soon he found his calling as a chronicler of Antipodean landscape.

He was trained in the Düsseldorf School of painting, which specialized in highly detailed yet fanciful landscapes, usually allegorical in nature, and von Guerard made his mark with his lavish landscapes. By 1860 he was one of the top artists in Australia, but by the 1880s his star had faded. His work had begun to seem old-fashioned, and a combination of personal tragedy and financial ruin (when some investments failed) led to him dying in poverty in London.

Here we have a view from Australia's tallest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko (named, naturally, by colonizers; there are multiple Aboriginal names for it, and some are very disputed). It's easy to miss the human figures in the lower left/center, dwarfed by all the mountain around them. They're supposed to be scientists taking barometric readings, but here we have an allegory of man being dwarfed by nature.

From the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

“Double Nation: A History of Australian Art” (2023) by Ian McLean #LibrariesACT

This was a serendipitous find on display at my local library. I have an interest in #colonialArtAU and this book gave me a much broader insight. (Don’t let the academese of the Introduction put you off as the rest of the book is very accessible.)

It is a sequel to the author’s “Rattling Spears: A History of Indigenous Australian Art” (2016).

"Evening, St. Kilda Road," Clarice Beckett, c. 1930.

Beckett (1887-1935) was a key figure of the Australian tonalist movement. A very busy painter, she left behind a few thousand works. However, she was sadly disregarded during her lifetime and never exhibited anywhere. In the latter half of the 20th century her work began to be rediscovered, but by then over a thousand of her paintings had been destroyed; some in a fire, some by her father (thinking they were unfinished and were to be scrapped) and many by sheer neglect. Now she is regarded as one of Australia's greatest artists.

Beckett loved to paint in the early morning or late evening, capturing the misty half-light of those times....although arguments continue if this was a statement on her part or just relishing the challenge. Here, as with many of her works, she depicts a street in Melbourne, seemingly on a misty evening...kind of like what I'm having here, with drizzling rain. Even the brightest thing here, the neon sign, can't be read because the mist distorts it too much. It's an atmospheric painting.

From the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney.

I'm going to come back to this article, which looks as though it might address the my curiosity about interwar art in Australia.

Just glancing at it, I fell in love with Thea Proctor's woodcut "The Rose".

Groundbreaking research has identified that levels of genetic diversity among Indigenous Australians may be among the highest in the world.

First Nations people first arrived on the Australian continent more than 65,000 years ago and dispersed to every corner of the country, where both strong cultural and genetic diversity developed between groups.

Portrait of Aboriginal Artist Linda Syddick Napaltjarri
Linda's Dreaming Paintings were inspired by her nomadic life in the desert, and the Dreaming of her father and stepfather. Linda's father died when Linda was about 18 months old; her stepfather, artist Lankata Shorty Tjungurrayi, raised her and before he died in 1985, he asked Linda to carry on his work and paint his Dreaming.

Robert Hannaford is an Australian artist known for his realist paintings, portraits and sculptures

What an interesting story about #RobertMartiensen creating art for the sake of it. It resonates. Most of my photography is unseen by others as I can’t be bothered with curation on sharing sites. Flickr, Unsplash and Glass just feel like work.
