A richly illustrated art monograph, this volume presents the life and luminous work of Arthur Streeton, one of Australia's most celebrated landscape painters and a founding figure of the Heidelberg School. Geoffrey Dutton chronicles Streeton's artistic journey from his early sun-drenched depictions of the Australian bush and coastline to his later, more internationally influenced works, situating the painter firmly within the broader context of Australian cultural identity. With an authoritative yet accessible tone, Dutton argues for Streeton's enduring significance, illustrating how the artist captured the distinctive golden light and vast open spaces of the Australian continent in a way no painter had done before. The text details key works spanning Streeton's prolific career from 1867 to 1943, offering both biographical insight and sharp aesthetic analysis that will appeal to art historians, collectors, and admirers of Australian impressionism alike.
