Scholar and artist John Clegg made a pioneering contribution to the
study of rock art. He was the first in the Australian academy to
teach rock art research as a dedicated subject (Sydney University
1965-2000), supervising the first graduate students with such
specialty, subsequently supporting their careers. He is honoured
here for much more than his novelty and the contributions in this
monograph pay homage to the late John Kay Clegg’s diverse
influence. Rock art researchers from around the globe traverses
topics such as aesthetics, the application of statistical analyses,
frontier conflict and layered symbolic meanings, the deliberate use
of optical illusion, and the contemporary significance of ancient
and street art. They cover rock art assemblages from Columbia,
South Africa, Europe and across Clegg’s beloved Australia. They
interrogate descriptive and analytic concepts such as repainting,
memorialisation and graffiti, as well as questioning the ethical
impactions of research practices touching rock art as a part of its
study. The tributes in this book are necessarily as individual as
the man they honour, and John Clegg was certainly an individual.
The longevity of ideas and perspectives Clegg brought to the
pursuit of rock art research is demonstrated in this collection of
works. Clegg’s continued relevance is testament to the value and
magnitude of his contribution. He is a deserving subject for a
Festschrift.
