About the book >.>.> The State Art Collection book, published by the Art Gallery of Western Australia, chronicles the evolution of the Art Gallery of Western Australia over its century-long history. Established in 1895 by Sir Alexander Onslow, this institution reflects the burgeoning interest in arts within the region. The book details the pivotal role of Bernard Woodward, the first curator, whose passion for art led to the initial acquisitions of the State Art Collection, including significant works such as ?Down on his Luck? by Frederick McCubbin and ?Lake Lugano? by Richard Parkes Bonington. In the early years, the gallery benefited from the expertise of notable art figures like George Clausen and Edward Poynter, who influenced its development and collection strategy. The early acquisitions primarily consisted of quality British paintings, European master copies, and a selection of Australian artworks. Until its dedicated space was inaugurated in 1908, the collection was housed within an overcrowded museum setting. The official opening of the Art Gallery marked a significant milestone, encapsulated by a newspaper report highlighting the public's right to access great works.After George Pitt Morison took on the role of Assistant Director in 1906, he became the sole art specialist by 1916 following Woodward's retirement. He played an integral part of the gallery's operations until his own retirement in 1942. The book serves as a comprehensive exploration of the gallery's contributions to the preservation and promotion of visual art in Western Australia and encapsulates a century of cultural significance.
