Críticas:

"Intellectually substantial and physically beautiful...what many books aspire to be -- an education, an eye-opener, and an invaluable introduction" --Art in Print

"This highly diverse catalogue is a superbly researched authoritative account of a huge period of change in Australian art, a change demonstrated by the inclusion of many works by Aboriginal artists... Coppel has assembled an exhibition and catalogue in which an authoritative historical account is balanced with a rare sensibility towards the practices and processes of printmaking. A visual feast of graphic art, it provides rich insights into the complexities surrounding what it means to construct truly Australian art." --Printmaking Today

"A handsome and expertly informative catalogue" --The Spectator

"The catalogue covers the period 1941 - 2008, and Coppel has succeeded in the difficult task of condensing 70 years of Australian art into a balanced survey as told through its prints and drawings... Presents a coherent and familiar story of Australian art, particularly that of Melbourne, that unfolds through intelligent sequencing and the in-depth attention to a number of Australia's major artists." --Cathy Leahy, Print Quarterly

"Strikes this reader as an exquisite model of the form, both generous and carefully nuanced and brilliantly contextualizing biographies and for individual artists" --Angus Trumble, Australian Book Review --Australian Book Review

Reseña del editor:

This ground-breaking book follows the rise of a distinctive school of Australian art that first emerged in the 1940s. Beginning with the artists of the Angry Penguins movement, Arthur Boyd, Albert Tucker, Joy Hester and Sidney Nolan, whose work exhibited a new strain of surrealism and expressionism, the book continues with the rich variety of 1970s work by Jan Seberg, Robert Jacks and George Baldessin, moving through to contemporary artists such as Rover Thomas and Judy Watson. Stephen Coppel traces the major developments in Australian art from the 1940s to the present day, and examines the significant interplay with the British art scene. The book will include a substantial essay outlining the major developments in Australian art since the 1940s, the reception of Australian art in Britain and the recent rise of Aboriginal printmaking. It will feature 127 works by 61 artists, and include concise artists biographies and individual commentaries on the works.
