The Harry Gentle Rresource Centre is delighted to welcome PHA Qld member Tim Roberts as 2019 Visiting Fellow. Tim is a specialist in Australian art heritage, decorative arts and material culture to 1945 and is an experienced researcher and guest speaker..
Tim’s project, Picturing the North: Representing Queensland before 1859, is the first major exploration of the art and artists of pre-separation Queensland. This project seeks to create an index of artworks created before 1859 that depict the people, places and events in the geographical region now known as Queensland; uncover biographical details of the artists that created the works; and provide a historical context to frame the art heritage during this formative period of Queensland’s development.
On completion, Picturing the North will feature as a project on the Harry Gentle Resource Centre website.
