Download or read book Australian Painting Today written by John Martin Douglas Pringle and published by London : Thames and Hudson. This book was released on 1963 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Times, reviewing the first edition of this book said it 'presents most effectively in words and pictures a survey of the swift and amazing uprush of painting in Australia in the space of little more than 20 years. John Douglas Pringle's introduction could hardly be bettered in its succinctly dramatic account of the factors of land, race and history which brought about the birth of a national school - "we have seen", he remarks, "taking place during our own lives and under our own eyes, something which has never been observed before and... may never happen again." Allowing for the abstract and international influences which today evidently create vigorous oppositions and striking contrasts in effort, he is primarily concerned with those artists who are distinctively Australian, whom he discusses individually, from Dobell, Drysdale, Nolan and Boyd to the "new humanists" who have come into prominence in the past few years, Dickerson, Blackmand and Pugh. An excellent series of illustrations bears out his summing up of the School as "romantic, swift, dashing and emphatic." -back cover.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey uniquely covers both Aboriginal art and that of European Australians, providing a revealing examination of the interaction between the two.

Well-known artists such as Margaret Preston, Rover Thomas, and Sidney Nolan are all discussed, as are the natural history illustrators, Aboriginal draughtsmen, and pastellists, whose work is only now being brought to light by new research. Taking the European colonization of the continent in 1788 as his starting point, Sayers highlights important issues concerning colonial art and women artists in this fascinating new story of Australian art.

Download or read book A Companion to Australian Art written by Christopher Allen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Australian Art A Companion to Australian Art is a thorough introduction to the art produced in Australia from the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 to the early 21st century. Beginning with the colonial art made by Australia’s first European settlers, this volume presents a collection of clear and accessible essays by established art historians and emerging scholars alike. Engaging, clearly-written chapters provide fresh insights into the principal Australian art movements, considered from a variety of chronological, regional and thematic perspectives. The text seeks to provide a balanced account of historical events to help readers discover the art of Australia on their own terms and draw their own conclusions. The book begins by surveying the historiography of Australian art and exploring the history of art museums in Australia. The following chapters discuss art forms such as photography, sculpture, portraiture and landscape painting, examining the practice of art in the separate colonies before Federation, and in the Commonwealth from the early 20th century to the present day. This authoritative volume covers the last 250 years of art in Australia, including the Early Colonial, High Colonial and Federation periods as well as the successive Modernist styles of the 20th century, and considers how traditional Aboriginal art has adapted and changed over the last fifty years. The Companion to Australian Art is a valuable resource for both undergraduate and graduate students of the history of Australian artforms from colonization to postmodernism, and for general readers with an interest in the nation’s colonial art history.
