An irresistible call lured Australian artists abroad between 1890
and 1914, a transitional period immediately pre- and
post-federation. Travelling enabled an extension of artistic
frontiers, and Paris - the centre of art - and London - the heart
of the Empire - promised wondrous opportunities. These expatriate
artists formed communities based on their common bond to Australia,
enacting their Australian-ness in private and public settings. Yet,
they also interacted with the broader creative community,
fashioning a network of social and professional relationships. They
joined ateliers in Paris such as the Academie Julian, clubs like
the Chelsea Arts Club in London and visited artist colonies
including St Ives in England and Etaples in France. Australian
artists persistently sought a sense of belonging, negotiating their
identity through activities such as plays, balls, tableaux,
parties, dressing-up and, of course, the creation of art. While
individual biographies are integral to this study, it is through
exploring the connections between them that it offers new insights.
Through utilising extensive archival material, much of which has
limited or no publication history, this book fills a gap in
existing scholarship. It offers a vital exploration
re-consideration of the fluidity of identity, place and belonging
in the lives and work of Australian artists in this juncture in
British-Australian history.
