OCEAN TO OUTBACK: Australian Landscape Painting 1850–1950
From the white heat of our beaches to the red heart of central
Australia, Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950 conveys the
great beauty and diversity of the Australian continent. [...]
Encompassing colonial through to modernist works, the exhibition spans
the great century of Australian landscape art. From 1850 to 1950 landscape was
the most painted and celebrated theme in Australian art. As well as images which
convey the geographical extremes of the continent, Ocean to Outback includes
works that reflect significant events that transformed the social fabric of
Australia – droughts and bushfires, the gold rushes, the Depression, and times
of war. [...]
Ocean to Outback: Australian landscape painting 1850–1950 includes
images of the furthest points of distance and geography across Australia.
Created by some of our greatest landscape artists, these paintings reveal the compelling
beauty, extreme conditions and qualities of the Australian environment that
have made landscape painting a vital force in Australian culture.
