The fourth and final series of 'Art in Australia' comprised only six quarterly numbers between March 1941 and August 1942. They were a marked departure in all respects from the previous 94 numbers of the journal which commenced publication in 1916: new editor new format new emphasis on international art. The editorial in the first issue spells this out succinctly: there will be 'a complete change in appearance and methods of production with a broadening of policy. In the past "Art in Australia" has been almost entirely devoted to the painting sculpture and architecture of this country. Luxurious productions from France England and other countries were available to inform the artist student and art-lover of the work and activities of the art world outside. But the barbarity unleashed in Europe is destroying much of the art of the past and present and has made it impossible for periodicals we prized so much to continue production. The countries of their origin have fallen under Hitler's yoke men responsible for their production - artists and writers - killed art galleries and elaborate printing and processing plants blown to bits. But Art cannot die and we in Australia can and will carry on our efforts to preserve encourage and foster the culture our enemies would destroy. In spite of paper shortages and many other difficulties "Art in Australia" will play its widened part by presenting the art of all countries all periods and all schools'. <p>Peter Bellew modelled its visual excellence and intellectual content on 'Verve' and 'under his stewardship the art historian and director of London's National Gallery Sir Kenneth Clark declared it "unquestionably the best art magazine being published today anywhere in the world"' Harding and Morgan: 'Modern Love - The Lives of John and Sunday Reed' 2015. Notwithstanding the end came without warning: Series 4 Number 6 August 1942 the last one published with a strong and parochial editorial about the 'Need for War Artists' contained no hint of its fate.

1925140245Adelaide: 'Printed for the Publishers by Hunkin Ellis & King' 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide 'Printed for the Publishers by Hunkin Ellis & King' 1925 to 1928. Tabloid 48 monthly issues bound as one volume approximately 12 pages per issue each with the large pictorial masthead and illustrated advertisements. Contemporary quarter cloth and marbled papered boards lightly rubbed with slight wear to the extremities; acidic paper uniformly tanned; minimal signs of age and use; in excellent condition. The editorial in Volume X Number 12 31 December 1928 states that 'It would be a pity for this independent non-party and outspoken monthly to go out and we hope such an event will not happen but after carrying on the paper for ten years we feel with advancing years that we cannot longer bear the strain of the extra work involved in its publication. Perhaps we may be able to sell it .'. Apparently they were unable to do so and this proved to be the last issue of the journal. <p>From Volume IX Number 3 March 1927 the last words in the subtitle were changed from 'Progressive Farmers' to 'Progressive People'. However a far more radical transformation had occurred earlier foreshadowed in the second issue in this run: the front cover proclaims 'Special this issue -- The Proposed Aboriginal State'. Genders had been appointed to the general committee of the Aborigines' Friends' Association in early 1924 but he established the Aborigines' Protection League in November 1926 with Dr Herbert Basedow as president and himself as honorary secretary to promote the cause of an 'Australian Black State' in the Northern Territory. The final issue records that the APL had been 'largely instrumental in awakening a world-wide interest in the position of the Australian aboriginals and as the official organ of the League "Daylight" may justly claim to have assisted in this much overdue movement'. <p>'Contested Destinies: Aboriginal Advocacy in South Australia's Interwar Years' by Robert Foster 'Aboriginal History' Volume 42 2018 available online provides much detail on Genders 'Daylight' the Australian Black State and the APL.

'Six years ago Ern Malley lived and died in Australia. Child of the unintended creative act of two other Australian poets he became overnight the most significant figure in the current literary scene. Alike as poet and as a symbol of creative living . Who can doubt that he did in fact live. And now we hope his spirit will live on in the pages of this Journal' introduction to the first number. The lengthy editorial in the third number indicates their hope is a little forlorn 'we cannot congratulate either our contributors our readers or ourselves' and it concludes with a half-page explanation - clearly called for - of 'Who was Ern Malley'. It was another thirteen months before Volume 1 Number 4 appeared; Volume 2 Numbers 1 and 2 followed at six-monthly intervals before the journal ceased publication for want of subscribers. 3 items.

1890109514Adelaide: Printed for the Proprietor and Publisher A. Timmann at the 'Pioneer' Office 1890. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide Printed for the Proprietor and Publisher A.

Although the Single Tax League of South Australia figures prominently throughout a notice printed at the foot of the last page of the first issue suggests the journal had a broader platform. 'The publication of "The Pioneer" is undertaken solely with a view to stimulate thought and promote discussion and if approved of it is hoped will find the ready support of all Friends of Reform. The labor involved is given voluntarily and gratuitously; any profits made will go entirely towards extending its range of operations.'
