Cross-Currents in Contemporary Australian Art

An essential guide for all students of Australian visual art; this book combines traditional art theory with a sense of humor. Written in a fresh, enjoyable style, it is one of the few summaries of the major art movements that have influenced twentieth-century Australian art. Cross-Currents in Contemporary Australian Art covers work from the 1940s to the late 1990s, identifying and intersecting aims and ideas. Chapters include Asian art by Australian artists, the development of women's art, and the gay, lesbian and queer art movements. In addition, the development of community art is traced, as is the art profile of urban Aborigines.Allen, Traudi is the author of 'Cross-Currents in Contemporary Australian Art' with ISBN 9789057035111 and ISBN 9057035111.
