A$50 · Offered by Douglas Stewart Fine Books

Canberra, ACT : National Gallery of Australia, 1994. Quarto, illustrated wrappers, light handling marks, pp. 216, illustrated. This publication focuses on the Gallery s collection of 46 Streeton works ranging from Sandrige (painted on cigar-box wood in 1884) through to his late canvas In a London garden c1934. Tracing Streeton s career, the book tells how he painted his youthful works of the 1880s and 90s alongside artist friends Charles Condor and Tom Roberts camping in a farmhouse overlooking the Yarra River at Heidelberg, near Melbourne, and then (with Roberts) on the shores of Sydney harbour. He painted in London from 1897, before returning to spend the last two decades of his life working in Melbourne, where his late work evoked a peaceful pastoral Australia. the publisher.
