Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I love a sunburnt country, A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror The wide brown land for me!Dorothea Mackellar's words have a knack for swelling the metaphorical chest of many Australians with the evocative descriptions in her iconic encomium, 'My Country'. Just as Mackellar zeroed in on the particular nuances of Australia that make our country so unique, this book forms an aesthetic study of the Australian landscape as seen, experienced and expressed by the Australian artists who choose to paint it.Surveying 50 artists working in various mediums and depicting varied terrains, A Painted Landscape showcases an incredible diversity of landscapes and in doing so, dispels the myth that Australia is all 'beach and bush'. Focusing on contemporary landscape painters, this is Australia in the 21st century through a specifically creative lens.

Download or read book In Praise of Landscape written by Lucy Grace Ellem and published by MacMillan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magnificent book, authored by Lucy Ellem, outlines the life and career of a major proponent of the art of watercolour. John Borrack is a significant Australian landscape artist who has travelled the country recording its extraordinary land forms. The more than 270 pages are fully colour illustrated with hundreds of reproductions. John Borrack, born in 1933 and a renowned Australian landscape painter whose career spans more than 50 years, continues to paint full-time in his studio north of Melbourne where the once rural landscape of the Plenty Valley is being overtaken by suburban development. His landscapes, mainly executed in water colour and lavishly reproduced in this book record the beauty of this region and then extend to many remote areas of the continent particularly in the north where extraordinary land formations range from the picturesque to the sublime . He says, lonely corners of Australia inspire an overwhelming sensation of space and distance. These places to which I am constantly drawn provide me with both a spiritual experience and the starting points for paintings. Author, Lucy Ellem, an art historian who studied at The University of Melbourne before undertaking post-graduate research at Yale and then lecturing at La Trobe University, provides an eloquent account of the artist s career, connecting his paintings with the longer tradition of landscape painting and in particular, in watercolours."

These works also reflect the characteristics of nineteenth century colonial exploration in the depiction of race, class and power. [The exhibition] ... presents works from the Hudson River School within the Terra Foundation for American Art Collection alongside works from the University of Melbourne's Russell & Mab Grimwade 'Miegunyah' Collection and paintings by iconic Australian artists such as Eugene von Guérard, John Glover, and Nicholas Chevalier and Tom Roberts from important Australian collections." --Publisher's website.
