Authored by curators David Hurlston and Ted Gott, the volume chronicles Armstrong's career through critical essays, detailed plate reproductions, and scholarly commentary that situates his creatures within broader traditions of totemic art and cultural symbolism. The tone is both reverent and intellectually rigorous, treating Armstrong's bears, dogs, and hybrid beings not merely as aesthetic objects but as carriers of psychological and spiritual weight. Bruce Armstrong: An Anthology of Strange Creatures argues that his work occupies a singular place in contemporary Australian art, drawing on ancient archetypes while remaining unmistakably modern in its raw, expressive power. It is an essential reference for collectors, curators, and anyone captivated by art that channels the primal and the uncanny.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792138055899,"sku":"9781925432152-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3f4bf1e6-f64d-4a1d-b689-acce94defd8f.png?v=1779272604","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781925432152-secondhand-bruce-armstrong-an-anthology-of-strange-creatures","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
