Potter, Dr Matthew
Dates: 4 July 2011 to 14 September 2011
Research Project: The Contribution of Germanic Settlers to Visual Culture in Australia, 1850-1950.
Matthew Potter researches the history of British visual culture in the period 1850-1950 with particular reference to international exchanges within the British world and the role of foreign nations in the creation of various British national identities. His work engages with imperial and cultural historical discourses in order to explore hybridised forms of cultural production, and looks particularly at such developments in the realms of art critical and collecting practices. His previous work has focused on two distinct areas: German cultural influences on British art (e.g. The Inspirational Genius of Germany: British Art and Germanism, 1850-1939 (Manchester University Press: Forthcoming 2011); and imperial art debates (e.g. ‘British Art and Empire: Holman Hunt’s The Light of the World reflected in the mirror of the colonial press,’ Media History (volume 13, no. 1 (April 2007)), pp. 1-23). Matthew's ANU Visiting Fellowship will afford him the opportunity to combine these two areas of interest in exploring the effect of German migrants, as non-British settlers, on the creation of the alternative 'Britishness' of Australian visual culture. Matthew lectures in the Department of the History of Art and Film at the University of Leicester in the UK.
