The collection is truly national in that it includes the activities of artists representative of the whole country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 400 works, from 1770 to 2002 are included, with perennial favorites, like Sidney Nolan’s \"Ned Kelly\" series, as well as important lesser-known works and newer acquisitions. The works are arranged chronologically beginning with Pre-colonial and Colonial (1770-1884), followed by Nationalists and Expatriates (1885-1914), Modernism and Feminism (1915-1939), Figurative Debate (1940-1959), Abstraction and Social Change (1960-1974), Anything Goes (1975-89) and Art Now (1990-2002).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included are insightful essays by over 50 of the artists who made the works, as well as by curators and scholars. Some are intense, personal reflections on individual works; others are more discursive and place the works in their art historical or historical contexts. All are aimed for the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44115262668874,"sku":"3486u","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/3486u_b08f2f1b-4a91-4152-a043-caed9e32e32b.jpg?v=1787826967","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/australian-art-in-the-national-gallery-of-australia-by-anne-gray","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
