{"title":"Native Colonials: Violet Mace’s Australian Aboriginal-Inspired Pottery Designs","authors":"Peter Hughes","doi":"10.1080/1031461x.2023.2251989","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1031461x.2023.2251989","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractIn the first half of the twentieth century, many Australian artists, such as the Tasmanian ceramicist Violet Mace (1883–1968), sought to find a distinctly Australian visual expression. Although Modernist aesthetics challenged Mace and her contemporaries to explore abstraction, in order to convey Australia’s specificity she turned to Australian history. Initially, her imagery touched on frontier conflict and the motifs of nineteenth-century Aboriginal artists such as Tommy McCrae. After tracing the sources of Mace’s imagery, this article asks to what extent her representations de-historicised the frontier past and enabled contemporary viewers a comfortable distance from what many Australians now see as a story of violent conquest. Perhaps Mace’s imagery can be read as an episode in a national history of slowly growing appreciation of Australian Aboriginal culture, increasing discomfort with the story of racial and cultural inferiority, and willingness to acknowledge that Australia is the product of invasion. Notes1 This paper builds on a short article by the author on Mace’s work published in Art Monthly 307 (May 2018): 28–33. In the same year, Mace was the subject of an appendix to a catalogue published for an exhibition of Maude Poynter’s work, though neither the exhibition nor the catalogue included any of Mace’s work: Glenda King, Maude Poynter: Painter and Potter (Hobart: Australiana Society, 2018). The earlier literature on Mace is not extensive and mostly consists of brief historical accounts. These contain some valuable information but also factual errors, most frequently Mace’s birth year, usually cited as 1890 rather than 1883. These are: J. Bartram et al., Early Tasmanian Pottery 1920–1950, exhibition catalogue (Hobart: Tasmanian School of Art, TCAE, 1979); C. Ackland and C. Campbell, ‘Pioneer Craftswomen from the Bothwell Area’, Tasmanian Historical Research Association Papers and Proceedings, Hobart, June 1994, 85–8; G. King, ‘Violet Mace’ and ‘Studio Pottery in Tasmania’, in Australian Art Pottery 1900–1950, eds K. Fahey, J. Freeland, K. Free and A. Simpson (Sydney: Casuarina Press, 2004). Penny Edmonds differs in offering a close examination of Mace’s work and its sources in an account of Mace’s use of the Proclamation Board image, in P. Edmonds, ‘The Proclamation Cup: Tasmanian Potter Violet Mace and Colonial Quotations’, reCollections 5, no. 2 (October 2010).2 Nicolas Thomas, Possessions; Indigenous Art/Colonial Culture (New York: Thames and Hudson, 1999), 111–14.3 Margaret Preston’s work and writing on Australian Aboriginal art, modernity, modernism and the need for an Australian national culture has been the subject of enquiries by a number of authors, most extensively in H.

The curators were anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt. The exhibition was held when there was a growing interest in Aboriginal art, its links to national identity and the need to exhibit it to educate viewers about the art. The legacies of this exhibition are various including that it signalled a museological shift from anthropological modes of curating Aboriginal art to an aesthetic approach, and it began a conversation between curators, anthropologists, and art historians, and more recently with First Nations curators, about which approaches to employ in presenting Aboriginal art.
