Timeline
Thomas Lenton Parr AM (11 September 1924 – 8 August 2003) was an Australian sculptor and teacher.
Born in East Coburg, Victoria, Lenton Parr spent eight years in the Royal Australian Air Force (Svc No. A33223) before enrolling to study sculpture at the Royal Melbourne Technical College (now RMIT University), then worked in England 1955–57 as an assistant to Henry Moore.
There he was influenced by Reg Butler and Eduardo Paolozzi to work with enamelled steel structures, which was to become his lifelong specialty.
After his return to Melbourne he showed at Peter Bray Gallery in 1957, and embarked on a career in art education.
Around 1960 he joined with Clifford Last, Inge King, Vincas Jomantas and Teisutis Zikaras to form a splinter group which exhibited together as the 'Centre Five'.
Parr was Head of Sculpture at RMIT (1964–66), then Head of Prahran College of Technology in a $1.5 million building completed as he arrived.
He appointed staff who became influential Australian art and was held in high esteem by staff, but his fine art philosophy clashed with the vocationally-oriented aims of the College Principal Alan Warren, who acted unsuccessfully to have him removed by advertising his job, prompting an inquiry by the Minister.
In 1967 the group split from the Society, which never recovered from the departure of so many of its prominent members.
Though his appointment at Prahran was upheld, he left, effective 31 January 1969, to take up the role of Principal at the National Gallery School (1969-1974), leading to his appointment as director (1974–84) of the Victorian College of the Arts when it replaced the Gallery School
He was a member of the Victorian Sculptors' Society and its seventh president.
In 1977 he was invested with the Order of Australia for his services to sculpture and the arts.
He was awarded Honorary Doctorate in Arts (RMIT University) in 1992.
A major monograph on his work was published in 1999.
The Lenton Parr Library (Lenton Parr Music, Visual and Performing Arts Library—formerly Victorian College of the Arts Library) of the University of Melbourne was named for him.
Represented in most State Gallery and other Public Collections and in various Institutional and Private Collections including:
