Book Description:
This book looks at Henry's early art education in Paris and the influence of ideas about the unifying of art and industry current in mid 19th century France; it follows him into exile in the Pacific, examining the colonial policies of France and Britain in the South Pacific and the effect on Henry of his contact with the indigenous Kanak people; it explores Henry's ambitious project for an Australian Decorative Arts, reproducing his designs for buildings, interiors and objects based on Australian flora and fauna; and charts Henry's role as a promoter of new movements in architecture uniting national and regional idioms with new building technologies. Finally, it looks at the legacy of Henry's work, in particular in the development of the Australian Technological Museum, now the Powerhouse Museum.
