Art in Australia : from colonization to postmodernism

by Christopher Allen

This volume traces the history of Australian art, arguing that its development was shaped by the challenges of inhabiting a new continent. It examines how transplanted European styles acquired unique meanings in this remote setting, from colonial times to the postmodern era.
