Melbourne Art Journal

Melbourne Art Journal (MAJ) is an art history journal published by the Fine Arts Network. It is dedicated to publishing art historical research of the highest quality, from medieval to twentieth century, European, Australian, and Asian. It has a particulr interest in connections between Australia and Europe, either as art historians based in Australia and New Zealand working on European topics, and as topics in Australian art history that deal with the relationship between Australian art and European. MAJ also published selections of the public lecture programs The Joseph Burke Lecture and The Margaret Manion Lecture, each of which are presented annually by the Fimne Arts Networkn in collaboration with the Art History Discipline, School of Culture and Communication, The University of Melbourne.

MAJ t is a fully refereed journal and recognised as such by DEST, the Australian Government academic research body. Articles aim to be both readable and scholarly. MAJ is predicated on the belief that art historical studies need to engage closely with images of works of art, and therefore aims to illustrate articles fully, with high quality illustrations, and as many as the argument requires. Many contributions arise from the research of art historians at universities in Australia, but it welcomes contributions from any source. It is funded largely through subscriptions to the Fine Arts Network, by direct subscriptions to the journal, and by grants from individuals.
