| Joe Rootsey: Queensland Aboriginal Artist 1918–63 |
|
| PAGES: |
80 pages paperback colour and black-and-white illustrations |
|
|
Joe Alimindjin Rootsey was one of the first Indigenous people in Queensland to be recognised as a contemporary artist. An inveterate sketcher, his artistic leanings were discovered by medical social worker Joan Innes Reid during a period of hospitalisation in north Queensland in the mid 1950s. In 1958, he began classes at Brisbane's Central Technical College, then the leading art school in Queensland. While he wanted 'to make something of it', his art career was shadowed by ill health and government intervention. His paintings were a window onto another Australia — his own country on Cape York.
This book is richly illustrated with works by Rootsey and includes essay contributions from curator Bruce McLean and anthropologist Dr Diane Hafner, which explore, respectively, Rootsey's life as a stockman and his career as an artist, and the social and political conditions prevailing at the time. This is the first publication on the artist, whose work was first shown to acclaim in the Queensland Art Gallery's exhibition 'Story Place: Indigenous Art of Cape York and the Rainforest' in 2003.

| James Fardoulys: A Queensland Naive Artist |
|
| PAGES: |
80 pages paperback colour and black-and-white illustrations |
|
|
James Fardoulys (1900–75) was born in Kythera in Greece, and came to Australia in 1914. After working in various jobs throughout Queensland — including as a member of a performance troupe, a cafe owner and a taxidriver — he took up painting after his retirement. Naive art became generally appreciated throughout Australia from the early 1960s, and Fardoulys's work was enthusiastically promoted by local art critic Dr Gertrude Langer and artist Roy Churcher. During his short burst of activity, Fardoulys became one of the most prominent and widely appreciated naive painters in Australia.
This publication, the first on the artist, chronicles his life and career. Writers include artist Leonard Brown on the Brisbane art scene in the 1960s, and Denis Conomos on Kytherian migration to Queensland, as well exhibition curator Glenn Cooke (Research Curator, Queensland Heritage). Read more |
