A Companion to Australian Art (Blackwell Companions to Art History)

Description: Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung in die Kunst Australiens seit Ankunft der ersten Siedler mit der First Fleet im Jahr 1788. Die Beiträge stammen von renommierten Kunsthistorikern und jungen Wissenschaftlern, die ihr jeweiliges Fachgebiet fesselnd, verständlich und unvoreingenommen darstellen. Die überwiegende Zahl der Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit prägenden Epochen, die mehr oder weniger chronologisch beschrieben werden. Auf bestimmte Regionen und besondere Kunstformen, die andernfalls im weiter gefassten historischen Kontext unberücksichtigt bleiben würden, wird in eigenen Kapiteln eingegangen. Christopher Allen is Senior Master in Academic Extension at Sydney Grammar School, and National Art Critic for The Australian. He is a Trustee of the State Library of New South Wales and is the author of several books on the history of Australian art and French art in the 17th century, as well as a major postdoctoral work on early modern art theory. Previously, Allen was lecturer in Art History and Theory at the National Art School in Sydney and was an art critic for the Sydney Morning Herald and Australian Financial Review.
