• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  Lucien Henry (1850-1896) arrived in Sydney in 1879 from political exile in New Caledonia, where he promoted the use of Australian floral and faunal motifs in the applied arts and was a seminal figure in the development of the decorative arts in Australia. He exhibited in the 1879 Sydney International Exhibition, and in the first annual exhibition of the Art Society of NSW in 1880, and annually thenceforth until 1887. In 1884 he was appointed first lecturer in Art at Sydney Technical College. In May 1891 Henry left Sydney, returning to Europe to arrange for the publication in Paris and London of his book on Australian decorative arts. He died in Paris in March 1896.
