ART210 Australian Art To 1939 (8)
AbstractThis subject surveys the development of Australian art from its beginnings to the outbreak of World War II, giving particular emphasis to modernism and its sources. Central concerns are: the primacy of British and European influences; the effect of expatriatism; the role of women artists in bringing early modernism to Australia; and the impact of international art movements on major Australian modernists between the wars. The focus is on painting and sculpture, but photography and the decorative arts are introduced where they are relevant. Attention is also given to art history methods and critical writings. |
