In fully documenting Australian artists who worked at the Abbey Arts Centre, London, 1946-56, and the British and European avant-garde in which they mixed, this DP throws light on this historically neglected art colony and recasts conventional understandings of post-WW2 Australian artists’s role in the European postwar period. At a time when this period is being extensively revised within a postcolonial frame, this DP is a timely contribution to current art historiography that will add significance to Australian art, especially within global institutional contexts. Outcomes include a state gallery exhibition, monograph and catalogue for retail, and potential additions of artworks and archives to national collections.

在充分记录澳大利亚艺术家谁在修道院艺术中心，伦敦，1946年至1956年，和英国和欧洲的先锋派，他们混合工作，这DP投光这个历史上被忽视的艺术殖民地和重铸后二战澳大利亚艺术家在欧洲战后时期的作用传统的理解。当这一时期在后殖民框架内被广泛修改时，这部DP是对当前艺术史学的及时贡献，将为澳大利亚艺术增添重要意义，特别是在全球制度背景下。其成果包括一个国家画廊展览，专着和零售目录，以及潜在的艺术品和档案增加到国家收藏。
