Australian Painting 1788-1990 by Bernard Smith
Considering the foreign and domestic political, social and artistic forces that have shaped Australian art from the First Fleet to the present day, this standard reference book has been expanded to provide an in-depth study of recent changes in form and criticism. Australian art has ventured down many new avenues since the emergence of conceptual and feminist theories in the 1960s, and the resurgence of Aboriginal painting in both the towns and the tribal communities. This edition reflects the divergence in critical opinion that either sees these departures as an exciting opportunity to question meaning and identity in new ways, or regards contemporary art as directionless.| SKU | Unavailable |
