The Articulate Surface

Dialogues on Paintings between conservators, curators and art historians.

The HRC theme for 1992, "The Articulate Surface" provided the perfect impetus for a professional discussion to evolve from the close and careful study of the surfaces of paintings. It gave a platform for the first significant discussion of the contribution of such collaborative research into the study of Australian art history, knowledge of the histories of the works in Australian art museums and private collections. Thus "The Articulate Surface" offers an informed look at paintings. Placed in such a context, the painting's surface becomes a more articulate surface with the potential to inform professional research and to reward the public gaze.
