Canberra: National Gallery of Australia, 2004. Paperback. VG- light wear to corners and edges. Glossy color-illustrated softcover with cream lettering. 261 pp. Color illustrations. Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Mar. 12-June 14, 2004, and the Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide, July 9-Sept. 12, 2004. The works illustrated and discussed here, both paintings and sculpture, reflect a time of great social change, from a period of established order to the beginnings of a more modern world. There are sumptuous portraits of members of the British upper class and nouveaux riches, as well as paintings of the middle class and working class. Together they show the changes in artistic style that took place during the period, from an emphasis on tonalism to a more formalist approach using bright colors and strong shapes. -Amazon.
