Klappentext

In 'The Art of Australia' Robert Hughes traces the twin threads of the desire for independence in Australian vision and the obsessive influence of European and American models. In his view Australian painting is a phenomenon to be discussed within the total context of contemporary art. Hughes, who has been described as 'the brilliant enfant terrible of Australian art and letters', reappraises many established reputations and suggests channels through which Australian painting may yet emerge as a world force.
