Abstract

ABSTRACT During R. G. Campbell’s 30-year tenure as editor of the Australian Journal (1926–1955), he drew on the work of many freelance writers and artists. This article identifies some of the major contributors of cover art and illustrations published during Campbell’s editorship of the Australian Journal to provide an expanded view of the cultural networks that converged in the pages of the magazine. Drawing on Campbell’s advice published in The Australian Writers and Artists' Market, along with his reflections in unpublished autobiographical notes, the article reveals the magazine’s intersections with the commercial and fine art world, particularly the networks of commercial artists who honed their skills in Melbourne’s art schools and artists’ studios during the early to middle decades of the 20th century. Combined with previous research on writers of the popular short story, this article demonstrates the significant position that R. G. Campbell and his Australian Journal claimed in mid-20th-century Australian print culture, and it encourages further research into the large network of freelance writers and artists that radiated from the magazine’s Swanston Street offices.

“封面给了我更多的麻烦”:r.g.坎贝尔的《澳大利亚日报》,1926-1955
在r.g.坎贝尔担任《澳大利亚日报》编辑的30年间(1926-1955),他借鉴了许多自由作家和艺术家的作品。本文确定了坎贝尔在《澳大利亚日报》担任编辑期间发表的封面艺术和插图的一些主要贡献者,以提供一个扩展的文化网络视图,这些网络汇集在杂志的页面上。根据坎贝尔发表在《澳大利亚作家和艺术家市场》(The Australian Writers and Artists’Market)上的建议,以及他在未发表的自传笔记中的反思,这篇文章揭示了该杂志与商业和美术世界的交集,特别是20世纪初至中期在墨尔本艺术学校和艺术家工作室磨练技能的商业艺术家网络。结合之前对流行短篇小说作家的研究,本文证明了r.g.坎贝尔和他的《澳大利亚日报》在20世纪中叶澳大利亚印刷文化中的重要地位,并鼓励进一步研究从该杂志的斯旺斯顿街办事处辐射出来的自由作家和艺术家的庞大网络。
