Surreal La Trobe
Of the many fads, fashions and …isms which have influenced developments
in Australian art for much of the twentieth century, surrealism is amongst
the most persuasive and persistent.
The works selected for inclusion in Surreal La Trobe, (an exhibition
drawn from the collections held by La Trobe University), are representative
of European Surrealists' influence on Australian art and artists. Despite
appearances, however, it would be a mistake to assume that all of the
artists represented embraced the Surrealists' philosophy in its entirety.
More an exhibition of influence, Surreal La Trobe is representative
of paradox in Australian art, and the quirky ways in which global influences
have been reformed to meet Australian expectations of art and artists.
Floor Talks: 12.30 pm Wednesday 10 March, 24 March
7 April – 6 May 2004
Eleanor Hart: Recent Paintings
Eleanor Hart's recent paintings are joyous celebrations of art, memories of
childhood and rediscovery of her Viennese heritage. Recalling her childhood
in suburban Melbourne, she describes her parents' house and garden filled with
colour and visitors, eating, singing and talking…ever talking about
life and experiences. Later, and as artist, she discovered her parents' Europe
for herself, which is the subject of her brilliantly coloured paintings in
the style of Australian abstract expressionism.
Floor Talks: 12.30 pm Wednesday 14 April with the Artist
