Harry Pelling Gill 1855-1916 art curator and teacher at the time Director for Technical Art. 'In 1892 he was appointed honorary curator of the art gallery and following the resignation in December of Louis Tannert as master of the school of painting Gill assumed control of all the board's art teaching activities. His growing authority in art matters his self-confidence and abrasive manner and his attitude toward other art schools led to criticism. Critics found Gill a vain man who controlled lucrative and influential art offices and who disdained the democratic brotherhood of art. His supporters admitted that he could be uncompliant and disagreeable but said that he had worked hard was a good judge of the monetary value of pictures saved the board expense and was a courageous and incorruptible curator. He supported and reorganized the South Australian Society of Arts and was its first president elected from the fellows 1909-11' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'; this entry contains one of the few errors we have noted in the ADB - the title of this book is given as 'The Straight and Crooked Paths of Studentship'.
