dc.description.abstractAt the core of this thesis is a broad social history of the origin of the National Art School (NAS), dating from the earliest days of art history in NSW when the Mechanics Institute was formed. From 1833, after many incarnations and name changes, this organisation evolved into the National Art School. Since 1922 it has been located in the old Darlinghurst Gaol in East Sydney. I have detailed the growth of the School until 1973 when it was absorbed into the Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education. The documentary material used in the construction of the NAS history is examined in relation to the social and political forces that operated in Sydney and Australia during the period under examination. The thesis began as a project to catalogue the extensive collection of student paintings held by the NAS. The lack of documentation, at the most basic level of student and staff names, extended the necessary scope of the research. The photographic record of the collection of student paintings is included as an appendix, as is the catalogue of these works. My thesis also includes, as appendices, the definitive (although incomplete) list of over 4,000 past student names, dating from the beginning of the twentieth century to 1973, and an incomplete, although comprehensive list of teachers names covering the same period. It has taken some years of research to compile these listings from a variety of official, published and press sources.
