SUMMARY:Anna Howe ‘36 Views of a mountain\, a tower and gardens’
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Anna compares photographs of Black Mountain and its tower to Hokusai’s 36 views of Mt Fuji and discusses how they might guide us to look at local scenes in different ways. \nAbstract\nThe Great Wave of Kanagawa is one of the most famous posters in the world. It is one of Hokusai’s thirty-six views of Mt Fuji. Less well known are Riviere’s thirty six views of the Eiffel Tower\, and even less known\, the thirty six views of the 17th century gardens of the Chinese emperor Kangshi. Here in Canberra\, we have a mountain\, a tower and gardens located together\, captured by many artists and photographers. How does looking at these three sets of historical views from Japan\, Paris and beyond the Great Wall near Beijing\, alongside comparable views of local scenes guide us to look at our mountain\, tower and gardens in different ways\, now and in the future? \nBiography\nAnna Howe brings her background in urban geography (BA Hons\, MA\, and PhD)\, her travels and her interests in gardening to bear on familiar scenes in Canberra.   Retiring in 2011 and returning to Canberra revived her interest in the unique urban character of the national capital.  She has explored this interest as an active member of the ACT National Trust\, the Australian Garden History Society and the Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens.  She is not a botanist or a horticulturalist; she is an aspiring photographer. \nBooking Link – https://www.trybooking.com/DNXHF \nOne-hour talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations to support Gardens’ programs and development and thank all those who have donated. \nPlease note: unless otherwise indicated\, talks are in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; several talks are booked out very quickly. Bookings can be made about 30 days in advance until Wednesday night before the talk. \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG Library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au
