Exhibitions

LAI are pleased to share a new exhibition of posters from La Trobe University's Stuart E Fraser poster collection, presented in partnership with The Golden Dragon Museum, Bendigo.

Changing Times: Posters From the Stuart E Fraser Collection is an exhibition featuring Chinese propaganda posters from the 1960s to 1980s from La Trobe University’s Stuart E Fraser Poster Collection. Mostly political in nature, the posters promote views on issues such as civic duty, public health, community life and unity.

Emeritus Professor Stewart Fraser (1929–2001) was founder of La Trobe University’s School of Education, and Chair of Education in the Centre for Comparative and International Studies in Education. He was born and spent much of his childhood in Tianjin, China, and was educated at the Universities of Melbourne, Oxford, Stanford, Colorado and London. Fraser acquired the posters during visits to China in the 1970s onwards, at a time when poster art in China was flourishing, embracing a wider range of styles and subject matter than ever before.

展览“时代变迁——斯图尔特·E·弗雷泽的中国海报收藏”展出了珍藏于拉筹伯大学斯图尔特·E·弗雷泽海报收藏系列中的中国宣传海报。这些海报均源于20世纪60年代至80年代，其中大多数以政治性质为主，聚焦并宣传关于公民责任、公共健康、社会生活和团结等议题的理念。

斯图尔特·弗雷泽荣誉退休教授（1929–2001）是拉筹伯大学教育学院的创始人，并曾担任比较与国际教育研究中心的教育主席。他出生于中国天津，且在那里度过了一大部分童年时光。之后，弗雷泽教授就读于墨尔本大学、牛津大学、斯坦福大学、科罗拉多大学和伦敦大学。他自20世纪70年代起多次访问中国，并在访问期间收集了这些海报。当时中国的海报艺术正处于繁盛发展时期，所涵盖的风格和主题也达到了空前的广度。
