Mr Felton's Bequests
Alfred Felton, a bachelor of definite opinions and benignly eccentric habits, was one of the remarkable group of Melbourne merchants who dominated the economy of the Australian colonies in the decades after the gold rush. In 1904 he left his substantial fortune in trust, the income to be spent by a committee of his friends, half on charities (especially for women and children), and half on works of art for the National Gallery of Victoria, works calculated to 'raise and improve public taste'. The Gallery suddenly gained acquisition funds greater than those of London's National and Tate galleries combined, and between 1904 and 2004 more than 15 000 items were purchased for it by the Felton Be...

Historical Narratives of Global Modern Art
Diversifying the current art historical scholarship, this edited volume presents the untold story of modern art by exposing global voices and perspectives excluded from the privileged and uncontested narrative of “isms.” This volume tells a worldwide story of art with expanded historical narratives of modernism. The chapters reflect on a wide range of issues, topics, and themes that have been marginalized or outright excluded from the canon of modern art. The goal of this book is to be a starting point for understanding modern art as a broad and inclusive field of study. The topics examine diverse formal expressions, innovative conceptual approaches, and various media used by artists around the world and forcefully acknowledge the connections between art, historical circumstances, political environments, and social issues such as gender, race, and social justice. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, imperial and colonial history, modernism, and globalization.

Lilies in a Stream
'The lilies blossom o'er the land In aromatic rolling stream Reflecting every golden strand of light Within their silken sheen. The Queen of Sheba journeyed far To gaze upon a glory rare; But Solomon in all his might With lily bright could not compare.' A poem is a picture, a story that plumbs the depths of human perception and experience. A poem is a living entity, emerging from the wellspring of the soul. Defined, it defies definition. A droplet, it glistens in the sun before losing itself in the stream. A reflection of life, it conveys the essence of being. Like the lily, fading, a poem is born anew, speaking peace. While contemporary in style, Lilies in a Stream belongs to the category of Romantic literature. Like the poems in this special edition, the selected prints are strong and classic, rich in archetypal imagery. And, while the poems are not based on the art itself, a meaningful aesthetic relationship is evident throughout. A treasure of verse and art!
