Two key themes structure the narrative: the transformation of British art practice into an Australian one and the troubled pursuit of the aesthetic means to claim an Indigenous heritage. Interrogating the canonical tradition, McLean asks why certain artists came to prominence while others have been neglected. In the process, he links the changing fortunes of artists to social and political developments both at home and abroad. With 170 illustrations, this book is an ideal introduction to the history of Australian art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian McLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789146976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789146974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.92h x 7.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Ian McLean","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080365469951,"sku":"9781789146974","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55d416d8-3ee2-4117-a6ce-58ef23cfbf76.jpg?v=1685486400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/double-nation-ian-mclean-9781789146974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
