107-028 Australian Art: Colonial to Pop and admission to the postgraduate diploma or fourth-year honours in art history.

This subject is a specialised research seminar in which students, with some background in Australian art, consider the problems and challenges of Australian artists who based all or part of their careers in Europe. The course will look at the question of what expatriatism means, how perceptions of France, England and Italy that were constructed in Australia from secondary sources affected attitudes of artists to these countries; and to what extent expatriate ideals dominated Australian critical standards in this period.
