Description
SECOND HAND BOOK — EX LIBRARY
Suburbs of the Sacred is about art, mythmaking and history. It is also about a Bondi boy who goes to art school, lives in Europe, marries, has children, wins prizes. Moreover, it is about how everyday life can become infused with the sacred.
Humphrey McQueen draws on the work of artist Keith Looby but also of novelists, playwrights, poets and other painters to explore the sources of creativity and style in modern Australia. It probes the power of curators, critics and dealers to form the canons of Australian culture.
As always, Humphrey McQueen’s analysis entertains as it informs.
