Anna Platten |
|
Tracey Lock-Weir Hardcover, 292 x 292 mm, 132 pages, lavishly illustrated ISBN 978 1 921668 13 5 The Art Gallery of South Australia’s publication is the most comprehensive survey of the great Adelaide-born figurative painter Anna Platten. The first monograph to be written on Platten it highlights the artist’s unique position in Australian contemporary art. The illuminating essay on the artist’s oeuvre by the Gallery’s curator, Tracey Lock-Weir, and its magnificent illustrations provide the foundation for further research on Anna Platten. Platten presents painted scenarios for the outside world that, despite appearing elaborately fabricated and unreal, reveal the artist’s own emotional reality. Platten’s oeuvre charts her rites of passage over time: her embarkation into an artistic career, her marriage and motherhood, and the awakening of middle age. As her work has progressed, likewise the spatial realm of her narrative has expanded. Starting with her early self-portraits and figure studies, Platten’s sphere was intimate and contained within her studio, the mystical only suggested by the appearance of angels. Later, the metaphor of the theatre set allowed her scenarios to expand and play out beyond reality. Even later Platten’s many characters step outside to begin a journey into another timeless fantasy realm. While Platten remains the central multifaceted protagonist in this journey, these lush dream-like paintings are visionary and refer to universal themes such as the search for identity, meaning, immortality and belonging. Exploring the unknown, the fragile and the tragic elements of life, they essentially seek out what it means to be human. RRP: $50 (distributed through Thames & Hudson)

This book celebrates the work of Hans Heysen, South Australia’s best-known artist. In addition to his well-known landscapes that celebrate the monumentality of the Australian gum tree, the book reappraises his lesser-known work, tracing its development from his early student days painting in Europe between 1899 and 1903. The book includes little-known works from this remarkable period, including images of Paris and Venice. It also includes many paintings of heroic gums, but also extends to other subject areas, such as toilers of the land, quarries, the River Murray, the South Coast and Pewsey Vale, and also portraits and still lifes. Another focus of the book is Heysen’s revelation from 1926 onwards of barren landscapes and ancient mountain forms in the Flinders Ranges.

James Bennett and Amy Reigle Newland (2009) ISBN 0 7308 3047 0 paperback ISBN 0 7308 3039 X hardback 348 pp, 552 colour illus., 8 b&w illus. This major book explores the astonishingly rich heritage of Japanese art, from prehistoric times until Japan opened its doors to the West at the commencement of the Meiji period (1868–1912). Lavishly illustrated it reveals the rich heritage of Japanese art held in Australia’s major public and private collections. Serene Buddhist sculptures, spectacular painted screens, miniature netsuke talismans, colourful Ukiyo-e images of the ‘floating world’, costumes, masks, armour and flamboyant export art created for Australia’s late nineteenth-century international exhibitions are all included in celebration of the profound lyricism and sophisticated eloquence of Japanese aesthetics.
