Description
SECONDHAND BOOK – EX-LIBRARY
In this opening volume of a brilliant new history of Australian art, John McDonald takes us from the times of pre-history, settlement and exploration, to the end of the colonial era. Art of Australia is the first comprehensive overview of the field since the 1960s, as McDonald reassesses the reputations of many leading artists, and links their achievements with the broader patterns of social history and ideas.
Along with in-depth discussions of major works, the narrative teems with characters and anecdotes, from the era of the First Fleet to that of the Australian Impressionists, Art of Australia tells the story of Australian art in a more vivid and engaging style than ever before, in a lavishly illustrated book designed to take its place as the definitive work on the subject.
