摘要

摘要本文分析了澳大利亚《理发师》杂志《澳大利亚邮报》对视觉艺术的报道。它追溯了艺术史和视觉艺术在杂志中的作用和地位,探索了它们是如何通过一本自觉地在“高雅”和“低俗”内容和风格之间达成微妙平衡的出版物传达给观众的。这篇文章重点介绍了该杂志最重要的艺术评论家的贡献,包括20世纪40年代中期的艾伦·麦卡洛克(Alan McCulloch),以及20世纪50年代初的阿诺德·肖尔(Arnold Shore)。它考虑了视觉艺术文章在这一时期的风格变化,以及杂志对受众的多种方式。通过分析该杂志的其他特征,尤其是读者来信,我清楚地表明,观众不仅参与了艺术内容,而且还试图影响其方法。通过这种方式,澳大拉西亚邮政为艺术如何呈现给广大观众以及如何传播艺术史知识以提高观众的理解和视觉素养提供了一个案例研究。最近的行业研究表明,在澳大利亚社会的很大一部分,艺术仍然被视为精英主义,理解无障碍的沟通策略比以往任何时候都更加重要。

Art in the Barbershop: Visual Arts, Audiences and Australasian Post
ABSTRACT This article analyses coverage of the visual arts in the Australian “barbershop” magazine Australasian Post. It traces the function and position of art history and the visual arts in the magazine, exploring how they were communicated to audiences by a publication that self-consciously negotiated a delicate balance between “highbrow” and “lowbrow” content and style. The article focuses on the contributions of the magazine’s most significant art critics, including Alan McCulloch in the mid-1940s and, in most detail, Arnold Shore in the early 1950s. It considers how the visual arts articles changed in style over this period and the multiple ways the magazine addressed its audiences. By analysing other features of the magazine, especially its letters from readers, I make clear that not only were audiences engaged with the arts content, but they also sought to influence its approach. In this way, Australasian Post provides a case study for how the arts have been presented to broad audiences and how art-historical knowledge can be communicated to increase audiences’ understanding and visual literacy. With recent sector research showing that the arts are still perceived as elitist for significant portions of Australian society, understanding accessible communication strategies is more important than ever.
