Dogs in Australian Art
Presented by Steven Miller. The story of Australian art is incomplete without its wonderful canine stars. Learn their names and the stories heralded by artists since early colonial times. The deep connections Indigenous Australians have with the dingo, illustrated in cave paintings, on barks and ceremonial objects, is where it all began. Australians love their dogs - with nearly 3.5 million dogs registered, we are said to have one of the highest rates of dog ownership in the world. This talk will conclude with some of our local talented artists own work – all featuring our legendary best friends. Steven Miller was the head of the National Art Archive at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 2009 to 2023. He has worked in commercial and public galleries since the late 1980s and published widely on art.
