Friday Talk: E. Phillips Fox in North Africa : As part of UWA Research Week |
Other events...

Dr. Robert Bower graduated from UWA and has taught extensively in his field of Peridontology in Australia and internationally. He has maintained a keen research interest in Phillips Fox's works painted in North Africa when his painting was at its best. In a period of about two months, in 1911 he produced some of the freest and most impressionistic works of his oeuvre.
Frequent title changes since Fox's death in 1915 and doubts about attribution of some works have limited interest these works until now.
North African works are barely mentioned in catalogues and accounts of Fox's work. Bower has catalogued many of the North African paintings using painstaking identification of contemporary images and suggests reversion to the original title for five works, including one in the LWAG collection, and a change of attribution for two works. This is a fascinating forensic saga.
