The National Gallery of Victoria Art School, associated with the National Gallery of Victoria, was a private fine arts college founded in 1867. It was the leading centre for academic art training in Australia until about 1910.[1] Among its luminaries, the school was headed by Sir William Dargie in 1946–53,[2] John Brack from 1962–68, and Lenton Parr from 1968 to its absorption into the newly created Victorian College of the Arts.[3]
Merger creating the Victorian College of the Arts
On 1 January 1992 an Act of Parliament brought the components of former Prahran College, Victoria College's Prahran Campus and Prahran College of TAFE, under the auspices of Swinburne University of Technology, with the only tertiary courses, Graphics and Industrial Design, remaining on the campus. All others were moved to Deakin University except Prahran Fine Art under Gareth Sansom which was relocated and amalgamated with the Victorian College of the Arts, where the next Dean of Art was William Kelly.[4]
As the VCA was not already split into departments, it was the Prahran heads who were given such, newly created, roles in several cases; with Pam Hallandal becoming Head of Drawing (then retiring at the end of 1993); Head of Ceramics was Greg Wain, previously Head of Ceramics at Prahran; Victor Majzner likewise became Head of Painting at the VCA; Prahran Graduate, Christopher Köller was Head of their new department of Photography. Printmaking had been a separate Department at VCA before the merger, the Head being a Prahran graduate, Allan Mitelman, who was replaced by John Scurry, Head of Printmaking at Prahran. Jock Clutterbuck (VCA) and David Wilson (Prahran) alternated the role of Head of the newly merged Department of Sculpture.[4]
