Timeline Research: Early Western Desert Art

Заказчик: AI | Опубликовано: 21.02.2026

I need a precise, citation-rich timeline covering the first two years of the Western Desert art movement in Australia. Your job is to pin down who was where, when, and doing what, drawing on the best scholarship rather than conjecture. You will work through the academic journals and extracts from books I specify, chase further references in historical archives where necessary, and weave in the notes and clippings I have already gathered. Each entry on the timeline must list the date (or tight date range), location, person or group involved, their exact role or action, and the original source in full Chicago style. No generative-AI shortcuts: the nuance of this project demands a human researcher with solid art-historical training and flawless English. The timeline has to also highlight key dates that works were consigned, how they travelled to thier dealers. In terms of people there are over 20 artists then about 10-12 others who were critical. I have descriptions of thier roles, and some idea of where they were (place). We are talking the time period January 1971 - mid 1973. I have quite a number of secondary source documents plus some information on consignments, etc. I have also a version of a spreadsheet. To provide context to the project I will provide a context document and a more detailed brief. Deliverable • A chronologically ordered timeline (Word or Excel) with full citations and a short annotation for any disputed or ambiguous point. It is critical that all events clearly state the role the person at the place played in contributing to, and supporting, the development of the agency of the men to paint and get the works to market. I will be on hand to clarify sources I have at hand and to review drafts as you progress. Accuracy and clarity trump speed; I would rather have a tight, defensible record than a hurried overview.
