A major new account of Australian art, from colonial to national.
In this major new account Ian McLean traces the history of Australian art, from colonial art practice to the search for a national art in the twentieth century. Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of a British art practice into an Australian one; and the troubled pursuit for the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage.
As well as introducing the canonical artists and artworks of the Australian tradition, McLean assesses why certain artists have come to prominence, and why others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 superb illustrations, many in colour, this is essential reading for all interested in the history of Australian art.

Ian McLean is the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne. His books include Rattling Spears: A History of Indigenous Australian Art, also published by Reaktion Books.
