In the late 1800s Arthur Streeton portrayed exploration and Australia’s physical landscape, capturing its essence in space and light. Come the 1930s, Clarice Beckett soft-focused on suburban reality and somehow transcended the everyday. By the late 1960s, Arthur Boyd related an Old Testament tale of insanity to self-immolation protests against the Vietnam War. Through these images we glimpse the history of art in Australia as it shines a light on the country’s evolving social, cultural, and political values, taking on the intricacies of daily life and leaving its comment for world.
