brief_description
In the 1930s and 1940s, they were Australia's 'rebels' - Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Yosl Bergner, Noel Counihan and others - artists whose work reflected the intensity of their lives. Against a climate of the Great Depression, World War II and the beginnings of the Cold War, these artists and their older forerunners broke through to a new art.
