    Melbourne Modern European Art and Design at RMIT Since 1945
    Eckett, J ; Edquist, H ; Eckett, J ; Edquist, H (RMIT Gallery, 2019)
    Melbourne Modern celebrates the contribution of European émigré artists, architects and designers who taught at RMIT after 1945. It surveys the work of Viennese architects, German, Czech and Baltic sculptors and silversmiths, and Dutch and British designers. It also includes migrants who arrived in Australia as children and Australian-born artists whose formative experiences in Europe influence their teaching. Collectively their stories illuminate RMIT’s model of inclusion. The profound impact of émigré teaching on the new pedagogy that developed in the 1950s through the 1970s placed the RMIT School of Art and Applied Art at the forefront of Australian art and design education. Melbourne Modern examines the legacy of this rich and educational experiment today.
