Genesis: William Robinson: 28 June 2016 to 18 June 2017
No full textForeword
In April 2016, William Robinson celebrated his 80th birthday.
While this important artist shows no indication of slowing down,
it is worth taking a moment to honour his many and varied
successes that led to the new exhibition, William Robinson: Genesis.
Robinson gained national prominence in the late 1980s and
1990s when he became the two-time winner of Australia’s biggest
portraiture prize, the Archibald, as well as of the Wynne Prize for
landscape. Represented in the collections of all Australian national
and state institutions, and celebrated in 2001 with a major survey
exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery that later travelled to
the National Gallery of Australia, Robinson has accomplished
great institutional success. In 2007, the artist was appointed an
Officer of the Order of Australia for his service to the visual arts.
In 2009, QUT opened the William Robinson Gallery, dedicated
to the permanent display of the artist’s work, and two years later
it presented William Robinson: The transfigured landscape, the most
comprehensive exhibition and publication on the artist’s work to
date.
Thus, it is quite easy to measure William Robinson’s career
in terms of his institutional achievements; however, it is also
important to acknowledge that these achievements are mirrored
by his broader success, which is due to his loyal supporters.
Robinson’s striking compositions appeal to a diverse audience—
the general public, fellow artists, his former students, prominent
authors such as David Malouf, and distinguished curators such as
the late Betty Churcher, as well as The Honourable Quentin Bryce
AD CVO, who professes that his paintings “bring joy, reassurance,
beauty and inspiration” to her life.1
As epitomised by Quentin Bryce’s statement, Robinson’s
supporters truly love his work. This is reflected in the large number
of works held in private collections throughout Australia and
internationally. Robinson’s work reflects his life—the places he’s
lived, his family, his pets, his home—and this speaks volumes to
audiences here and abroad. In fact, he is one of the few Australian
artists whose work has been collected by the Vatican Museum in
Vatican City and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Robinson’s paintings speak to everyday experiences—joy, sorrow,
frustration, humour. They somehow manage to inspire awe and
express humility simultaneously.
Given the universal quality of Robinson’s works, we are delighted
to have the opportunity to share them with the world, as William
Robinson: Genesis will travel to Europe and North America in 2017
and 2018. Importantly, the artist’s extensive lithography series,
which he created over several trips to Atelier Bordas in Paris, will
return to the city from which they originated. QUT is fortunate
to have Robinson’s entire lithography series in its collection,
which the artist has generously donated over the years. With over
170 of Robinson’s works, including paintings, drawings, prints
and sculpture, QUT has the largest institutional collection of
the artist’s work. We are very excited indeed to share highlights
from the QUT Art Collection, along with a select few works from
private collections, in this exhibition. From Robinson’s celebrated
oil paintings to his masterfully created lithographs, etchings,
drawings and watercolours, William Robinson: Genesis is a brilliant
opportunity to appreciate this artist’s distinguished oeuvre.

Competing models of socially constructed economic man : differentiating Defoe's Crusoe from the Robinson of neoclassical economics
No full textDaniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe has seldom been read as an explicitly political text. When it has, it appears that the central character was designed to warn the early eighteenth-century reader against political challenges to the existing economic order. Insofar as Defoe’s Crusoe stands for "economic man", he is a reflection of historically-produced assumptions about the need for social conformity, not the embodiment of any genuinely essential economic characteristics. This insight is used to compare Defoe’s conception of economic man with that of the neoclassical Robinson Crusoe economy. On the most important of the ostensibly generic principles espoused by neoclassical theorists, their "Robinson" has no parallels with Defoe’s Crusoe. Despite the shared name, two quite distinct social constructions serve two equally distinct pedagogical purposes. Defoe’s Crusoe extols the virtues of passive middle-class sobriety for effective social organisation; the neoclassical Robinson champions the establishment of markets for the sake of productive efficiency
Eternal present: the still life paintings of William Robinson, 14 July 2017 to 25 June 2018
No full textForeword
The William Robinson Gallery was established as part of the major restoration of Old Government House that was completed to coincide with Queensland’s 150th anniversary celebration in 2009. The restoration has seen the building returned to its 19th-century splendour, and all of us at QUT are incredibly proud of the beautiful space that has been created in one of Queensland’s most significant historic buildings. It is an excellent example of the state’s living heritage, and a tribute to one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists and a brilliant QUT alumnus.
The idea for a gallery dedicated to the permanent display of William Robinson’s work first came about in a conversation I had with the former Managing Director of the ABC, the late Brian Johns (1936–2016). Brian asked about our intentions for the use of Old Government House once it was restored. We did have a plan for the ground floor, which would operate as a public and functions space, but not for the upper level. He responded straightforwardly: “It’s simple, create a major gallery, a gallery for a major artist, and the artist should be William Robinson.”
Brian’s advice, which we followed, was appropriate given that he was a great art lover and supporter of the arts, and a firm advocate of QUT’s efforts in the creative sector. He also played an instrumental role in a number of transformative developments in Australia’s cultural life; for example, the Creative Nation policy of the early 1990s. He and his wife Sarah acquired a wonderful private collection of Australian art, including a key early work by Robinson—Interior with black dog 1970—which they generously loaned to QUT for the major survey exhibition William Robinson: The transfigured landscape in 2011. We later acquired the painting, which is on display in the current exhibition, Eternal present.
The QUT Art Collection currently holds over 180 works by William Robinson. Developing a collection of Robinson’s artwork that is cohesive, focussed, and of national and international significance has been a parallel focus to the exhibitions program of the William Robinson Gallery. Managed by QUT Precincts, the QUT Art Collection contributes to the University’s key priority to further develop QUT’s sense of community. Establishing the William Robinson Advisory Group in 2012 (comprising Philip Bacon AM, Professor Sue Street AO, Vanessa Van Ooyen, William and Shirley Robinson, and their children Kate Liddy and Dominic Robinson) has been important in managing the Gallery and the Art Collection, and in ensuring its sustainability.
Although Robinson is perhaps best known for his large-scale landscape paintings portraying the magnificence of nature, many of his early works depict humble still life and interior scenes. These works are equally beautiful. Robinson has a unique ability to engage the viewer in the experience of the painting whether the subject is a vertiginous mountain range or an assortment of domestic objects laid out on a table. In some of Robinson’s work from the 1970s, as well as in more recent work from the last few years, he depicts charming still life subjects laid out on his veranda or on a windowsill, with his sprawling suburban garden as the lush backdrop. Nature is never far away.
I am incredibly fortunate to have been involved in the establishment of such a wonderful cultural space as the William Robinson Gallery. We are all humbled by the support we have received over the years and by the generosity of a number of major benefactors. I am particularly grateful for the wise counsel and generous support of Philip Bacon AM and the Robinson family—most importantly, Bill and Shirley. The William Robinson Gallery will ensure that the work of this important Australian artist is marvelled at and appreciated for generations to come.

William Robinson: Nature imagined: 29 June 2018 to 16 June 2019
No full textThe visual art object often fails to command our attention for more than
a few seconds, maybe minutes, as we cross its path. However, if a special connection is made, we can carry that experience with us for life, reconnecting with it through our mind’s eye. This is
one of the most powerful experiences we can have with an artwork and we never know when it will happen or which inherent qualities an object must possess in order to instil this effect on us
for years to come. It could be said that William Robinson is
an exponent of the ‘slow art’ movement. He’s often referred to as a late bloomer— his career as an artist has been slow, steady, but most importantly, consistent. He held his first solo exhibition in 1967
at the age of 31, gained significant commercial success during the early
1980s exhibiting with the Ray Hughes Gallery in Brisbane, and was included in Australian Perspecta 1983 and the Biennale of Sydney 1986; but it was after winning two of Australia’s most prestigious art prizes—the Archibald and the Wynne—that his career flourished and he gave up his teaching position to paint full-time in 1989. Since then, he has produced some of the most memorable paintings of his generation,
and, with the fullness of time, some of the nation’s most significant artworks. Nature imagined is the eleventh exhibition to be held at the William Robinson Gallery since it opened in 2009. In this show, we revisit Robinson’s most popular subject—the landscape, or more accurately, his output from 1985 to the early 2000s. This period includes
the ‘Beechmont’ works produced when Robinson moved with his family to a 200-acre property in the Gold Coast Hinterland, and then from 1994 when he relocated his studio to Springbrook, which lies across the Numinbah Valley from Beechmont. Robinson was living
on the coast at this time, but would make visits to the Springbrook studio
until 2005.
Undoubtedly, the creation of Robinson’s art originates from a lifetime of intense observation and joy in the natural world; yet, the work has always been produced in the studio, founded on Robinson’s memories, feelings and ideas impelled by the contemplation of the beauty of nature and the cosmos.
Comprising works in all the artist’s mediums—painting, print, watercolour, pastel, pencil and ceramic—Nature imagined offers a new understanding of Robinson’s sophisticated vision of
his lived environment, and how, while providing source material, the landscape is never a mere representation but an emblem of Robinson’s world view. Within our contemporary world, an artist’s temperament is played out on gallery walls and in studios across the
globe. In making their art public, artists are offering a little piece of themselves— it’s an accepted premise that artworks
are the result of the creativity of an individual. But the term ‘landscape’ too often brings with it a perception of an artist going out into nature to capture its inherent beauty; a product of a set of strict rules and conventions; or being tied to a physical site or place. However, ideas of this ‘natural vision’—that an artwork presents a realistic representation of a place—are essentially contradictory, as any act of
forming a visual experience, whether on a two-dimensional surface or within a three-dimensional space, is an act of artifice. Every aspect—from medium, scale and size to what to include or exclude—is the result of the artist making choices informed by reality or by their imagination, conscious or unconscious. Of course, we must also acknowledge
that the very idea of nature is historical, generated within a particular culture and time. William Robinson has pursued ‘landscape’ painting at a
time when it has been seen as deeply conservative, hidebound, the antithesis to conceptually and politically driven practice dominating the programs of major institutions, biennales and triennials around the world. In many respects, Robinson is of another time and place—as an artist influenced by early 20th century modernists and as an artist working in Queensland, a place that has only recently begun to emerge as an art centre in its own right. As with his paintings, Robinson
is not overly concerned with looking outwards to what is happening around him—he is more concerned with looking
inwards. Robinson is rightfully attributed as one of the most original artists of his generation, altering the way we perceive the Australian landscape through his unique perspective. We cannot visit our country’s vertiginous hinterland or lush rainforests and not imagine one of Robinson’s artworks in our experience of that environment.
This is undoubtedly a powerful quality of his work and it impacts on our
very way of seeing; however, Nature imagined seeks to reclaim some of
the visionary and dreamlike qualities of Robinson’s ‘landscape’ works. In
doing so, it asks viewers to rethink their relationship to nature and the
art object. It reminds us to stop, look and experience both the real and
imagined worlds that this extraordinary Australian artist has offered for our meditation and appreciation. As Robinson notes, “My landscapes are
not a reflection of the natural world but a search for what lies beyond. My
pictures require quiet contemplation where the observer can bring something of themselves to allow the work to
completely resolve.”2

William Robinson: Insights: 15 June 2012 - 16 June 2013
No full textThis exhibition shows us that Robinson is at home with any medium: oils, watercolours, pastels, lithography, lead pencils or ceramics; and any subject: a chook, a vertiginous mountain ridge, or, in this case, himself sitting on his verandah. This self portrait is wonderfully accurate. The Panama hat is essential for Bill in the harsh Queensland sun—there are hats everywhere in the house, to remind him never to leave the house without one—but the yellow flower jauntily claims centrestage. Everything is tangibly real. You can imaginatively lay your hand on each item in the picture, feel its texture and its weight. He allows the light to articulate the self portrait, the curve of his bald head, and the three splashes of light giving volume to the torso. It is reassuring to see that dramaand profundity are not confined to sublime river valleys and mountain cliffs; it’s also here on the verandah of his inner-city Brisbane home.

Biographical Information/Historical Information
Ronald Allen "Ron" Robinson was born April 3, 1943, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to
Edgar Fulton "Putt" Robinson and Martha Corinna (nee Reid) Robinson. He attended and
graduated from Glencoe High School in Glencoe, Oklahoma, and then the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. At the University of Arkansas, Ron earned a bachelor's
degree in journalism, graduating in 1965, and he also served as editor of the student
newspaper, the Arkansas Traveler. Orville Henry, sports editor of the Arkansas Gazette,
hired Robinson as a stringer to cover Razorback sports. Robinson later studied public
relations at Boston University Graduate School of Public Communications. In the late
1960s, Ron served in the United States Air Force, rising to the rank of captain. He was
awarded a Bronze Star for service in Vietnam and also received the Air Force
Commendation Medal for his support of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969.
While attending college in Fayetteville, Robinson served as an intern at CJRW--the largest
advertising agency in Arkansas, formed by Wayne Cranford, Jim Johnson, Shelby Woods,
and Wayne Woods. In 1970, Robinson joined the firm full-time and remained employed
there until his retirement in 1996. He became chairman and chief executive officer of the
firm. Following retirement, Ron remained "of council" to CJRW and, in 2009, was named
chairman emeritus of the firm.
In 1986, Robinson arranged for the writing and production of "Arkansas, You Run Deep in
Me," written and sung by Robinson's college roommate, Wayland Holyfield. The next year,
the state legislature named the song an official song of the state. In 1993, Robinson was
appointed to the United States Postal Service Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, which
led to fifteen years of involvement in the creation and production of more than 1,750
postage stamp issues. He was named "Business Executive of the Year" by Arkansas
Business and received many other honors and awards for both professional work and
volunteer service. In 2014, the Central Arkansas Library System (CALS) dedicated a $10
million, 315-seat state-of-the-art theater in Little Rock's River Market, naming the venue
Ron Robinson Theater. In 2005, Robinson was honored as a "Distinguished Alumnus" of
the Fulbright College of Arkansas and Sciences of the University of Arkansas. A
scholarship bearing Robinson's name was established for journalism students at the
university.
Robinson was an avid collector of many kinds of items, particularly those with an Arkansas
connection. He amassed nearly 18,000 movie posters, as well as postage stamps, political
memorabilia, and other items. Robinson was a member of the Board of Directors of CALS'
Friends of the Library for three terms, provided pro bono consulting to the library system,
and contributed grants and memorials to CALS as well as material donations, such as 200
movie posters, hundreds of volumes for used book sales, and the items in this collection.
Ron Robinson married Bonnie Bumpers March 23, 1984. They have a son, Reid Robinson,
and two granddaughters. Ron died August 14, 2018. He is buried in Mount Holly Cemetery
in Little Rock. In 2022, the Forest Park Station Post Office on Kavanaugh Avenue in Little
Rock was renamed for Ron Robinson.

Ernest Thompson Seton: an unforgettable personality, by Edgar M. Robinson
No full textThis piece, titled “Ernest Thomas Seton: an unforgettable personality”, gives a first hand interpretation of who Ernest Thompson Seton (it is believed that whoever put the cover on this document spelled his name wrong) was through the eyes of Edgar Robinson. Robinson explains what a strong relationship the two of them had and what a strong mentor Seton was to Robinson. Ernest Thompson Seton was an author and illustrator of more than 50 works, and was largely responsible for the American Indian influence in the Boy Scouts of America that offered young people knowledge of an outdoor life based on Native American Indian customs, legends and beliefs. Seton was Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of America from 1910 to 1915. Edgar M. Robinson was a 1901 graduate from the YMCA Training School, now Springfield college, where he later returned to serve on the faculty as the Honorary Director of Boys Work Courses and the Adviser in Methods and Principles in Work with Boys from 1927-1937.For biographical information on Edgar M. Robinson, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/554
