Written with characteristic wit and intellectual rigour, Robert Hughes argues that Australian art is not merely a provincial reflection of European traditions, but a distinctly powerful body of work shaped by the country's unique landscape, history, and identity. Hughes chronicles the development of iconic movements and artists — from the Heidelberg School's luminous bush scenes to the provocative works of the mid-century avant-garde — with the confident authority of one of the world's foremost art critics. The result is an essential and absorbing account that illuminates the deep relationship between a nation and its art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130766336219,"sku":"2026100008304-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c3180dfb-201c-4085-89b9-0d175cf04347.png?v=1786589612","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008304-secondhand-the-art-of-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
