This landmark collection presents a sweeping survey of Australian painting from its earliest colonial depictions of an alien and awe-inspiring landscape to the bold, modernist visions of the 20th century, chronicling the evolving national identity through the eyes of its most gifted artists.\n\nPublished by the renowned Lansdowne Press, this volume stands as an essential reference for art lovers, historians, and collectors alike, illustrating how Australian painters grappled with questions of belonging, identity, and the raw, unforgiving beauty of their continent. From the luminous bush scenes of the Heidelberg School to the stark abstraction of mid-century modernism, the works gathered here argue powerfully for the richness and distinctiveness of Australia's visual culture — leaving the reader to wonder what stories still remain hidden within each brushstroke.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609678581979,"sku":"2026200018654-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/45ae50ea-8a66-476e-9e9c-6a3a400a880c.png?v=1791764607","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018654-secondhand-great-australian-paintings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
